I have one box for the front. Fortress on the back. Box is a ***** to bring up but........... Always holds. I bring it up about 4 foot from top tie it to a cleat off the side and puts out of my spot. Fortress used to be on the front. Plus folded the box fits everywhere.

I mostly anchor in a mud/clay bottom lake in about 10 feet of water.
Well, I gave the new box anchor a shot on Saturday. Look for a great deal on a once-used small box anchor in the swap shop this week. I wasn't impressed.

Just a bit too cumbersome for my liking.

Definately a box anchor for LOTO. I think the mud issue is overrated. If you drop in once in the water, the mud falls off. You won't be disappointed.
