[QUOTE="KDM, post: 338010, member: 314"] It's not about the size of the anchor, it's the current. Once the anchor catches on the bottom the line starts to pull the upstream end of the kayak down. Once the upstream end of the kayak goes below the water line, the entire kayak acts like a crank bait and the whole thing goes down. Full size boats do the exact same thing. There are plenty of full size boats on the bottom of the tailrace that tried to anchor up and the current pulled them to the bottom. Like I said, current can kill you if you don't pay attention. Now with a power pole or vertical anchor, the pressure is on the pole and not the line and kayak. The kayak stays horizontal and doesn't start to tip down on the upstream side. [/QUOTE]
