Best all around off-shore anchor. Holds in the rocks where others won't. I have used these for 20 years and this style is all I carry on board. Super strong too.

9 months on Anchor last year from the Chesapeake Bay to Miami & Bahamas & back.
The Anchor Dragged in 3 places, Nassua, George Town Exuma & St, Augustine Florida, thats once every 3 months, is that good, I'm in a Mooring Field each time, wind 25 knots in protected Anchorage and I Drag. 75 ft of chain out, 5.6 Ton Cat on a 44lb Bruce Claw Anchor, using a 'V' Bridle.
Just bought a 44lb Rocna, got a Bruce, Spade & Brittany, anybody want to buy the Bruce, I can't recomend it $3 and it's yours.

I've owned most other types of anchors over the years with varying results. This one reliably sets with all kinds of bottoms, comes back home easily, and snugs solidly and quietly into its nest in the pulpit roller. A great value and a safety must-have!

This is the best anchor I have ever used. Traditional fluke anchors would not take hold in sand or clay bottom here in Lake Michigan even with chain. This 11.5 lb claw anchor with 6ft of chain grabs and holds my 22ft Starcraft Islander every time even with less anchor line than recommended. It stores under the seat or hanging on the side panel very well.

Pair this anchor with a good bit or bunch of chain, in mud and your are not going to move. I just saw 2-40'+ sit through an 80mph wind storm while rotating around their anchors, due to changing wind direction, and they didn't move. They weren't happy and wouldn't want to do it again but they didn't move. Skimp on the chain size and lenght and you will most likely drag due to lift. When you have a 180 degree wind shift most anchors will break, now the most important thing becomes how fast will it reset. The claw, with good chain, fast. For the money its hard to beat for Chesapeake work. Saw a boat with motor failure and in heavy wind throw a pile of claw and chain out and watched the pile undo itself, the boat swing into the wind, the claw grab and as the bow dipped under load there was no doubt the claw grabbed, fast and hard. I love my claw.

Launches real easy from a windlass and never have any worries about it breaking loose in swift current.

The "Bruce" anchor was first used to secure deep water oil rigs in the North Sea. Because of extreme depth it wasneeded to have an anchor that can reach max holding power with min scope. this anchor will set very fast and is ideal in tight anchorages when you can't put out lots of scope.

Well finished for a galvanized anchor. Works well with my anchor roller.

The small versions of these anchors hold very well even on short scope when paired with 10 feet of chain. Unlike "danforth style" anchors which can bend fairly easily in small sizes, these cast anchors are nearly indestructible. The lack of a cross bar and sharp points makes them good for use in inflatable boats.
