Comments about Color Coated Slip Ring Fluke Anchors:
This anchor often doesn't bite into the ground, I think for 2 reasons - one is the rubber coating, the second is that both flukes are flared in the same direction, whereas other anchors of this variety are flared in opposite directions - one side up, one side down. So I think if you get the down flared side to hit the ground, it will dig in, but if you get the flat side facing the ground, it will probably just slide across the ground - not what you want in an anchor.
Pros
- Easy To Use
- Reliable
Cons
- Too big

Comments about Color Coated Slip Ring Fluke Anchors:
The coating on this anchor limits the movement of the flukes and I think it makes it too slick to bite.
I have set many different anchors but can't get this to bite even in shallow waters/sandy bottom

Comments about Color Coated Slip Ring Fluke Anchors:
Used as a rear anchor at a lake. Would not hold when any wind came up. Coating keeps it from getting a good bite. Arm bent on the 3rd use.
