 I tried one once, it got soggy, the rope ripped out and then the stupid box floated away.

 Don't waste your time, its a hoax.

I just looked at the video. I can't see that working out well in the rocks. Snag city.

Video showed a direct wind change of 180 degrees. Don't recall anytime ever seeing that. Over a period of time, sure, but not all at once. Wind swing would be more gradual and probably cause the anchor to pop out and skip before it got settled down again.

Personally, I wouldn't buy one.

That's what I was thinking Joe  t^

I'm good thanks anyway Ed  t^

I just have this one spot I go in shallow water that I can't get the anchor to bite unless I get out to the boat and Stick it in by hand.

Not a big deal when I go there we are getting out of the boat anyway. It's just that I have to go in, do the anchor then get back in to do what I need to do before we go in.

That's a little hard to do so close to the island.
