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've been using my trusty FX-7 Fortress with 6' of chain for many years now. With the exception of some really hard clay it has always held tight. I recently purchased a small (20 lb.) box anchor to use as a stern anchor and to have a backup. I'm going to just use it this weekend to see how it compares to the Fortress. I mostly anchor in a mud/clay bottom lake in about 10 feet of water.

Just a bit too cumbersome for my liking.
