It does seem like alot but when you see it done by a pro it's almost effortless. Also this type of anchoring gives you the ability to cover every inch of a wreck. It's how a charter captain can put a 100' boat on a 30' wreck and give everyone a chance to catch fish.

i personally have tried 2 danforths at 45° off each side of the bow and it is harder than it sounds, if the water is deep or you have wind to contend with you will need some practice and still need to be on your guard for when the hook pulls. also moving around on anchor is a slow process that may or may not improve the bite
