I have a 10' sit on top yak that weighs roughly 50lbs and I just ordered an anchor trolley. I'm considering a mushroom anchor as I typically fish silty/sandy/soft bottomed lakes and ponds but I can only find mushroom anchors as low as 8lbs. The weight to paddle it around doesn't concern me, and the storage is no problem, but I'm pretty confident that an 8lb anchor is a bit overkill. Thoughts?
Also - what type of anchor line should I invest in? Material and thickness? Currently considering a 3/8" Propylene rope.
Last thing - what else do I need? Some sort of float so once I hook that state record muskie I can unhook the anchor and let him motor me around - but what's recommended for this? Anything else to make life easier - storage, line management ideas, etc?
