I own a princecraft pro 176 boat and need a reliable anchor for a softer bottom body of water any input would help as im in need ASAP. Thanks a bunch

any input would be helpful

I used a 20lb digger style anchor for my last boat that was a 16' aluminum bass boat and it held even in river current on mud bottoms. 

I use a 10 lb mushroom anchor.  In the soft bottom lakes it sinks down into the mud when it hits the bottom.  Seems to hold good except in very windy conditions.
