Just wondering what type of anchor, if any, are best for fiberglass bass rigs?  

I'm the somewhat new owner of a 18.5' Stratos.   I fish mainly upland resivoirs with mud or slightly rocky bottoms.  I don't need an anchor 99% of the time but occasionally when the family is along we we'll throw live bait for panfish i up to 20ft of water.  Needless to say I don't have time to run the trolling motor and bait hooks    Plus I figure it is best to have one for safety purposes and mooring as well.

Weight is a concern because I'd like to keep the anchor in the boat all the time but I don't want to add any more wieght to the boat than I have to, especially if I start fishing tournies.  Some of the anchors I've looked at are lighter and more expensive,  some are heavy and cheap.  Anyone have any experience with these for a similar set up?

I had a mushroom anchor in my old aluminum rig that worked fine but I the those things are so heavy and it would take an even heavier one to hold a fiberglass boat in place.  I assume one with colaplable flukes would be best.

Any suggestions? :-?

I carry a small mushroom anchor with me,but I haven't used it even once.I'd rather put the bow into the wind and control the boat with the trolling motor.
