You need LOTS of rope....80 feet would be at least 240 feet of rope for a decent angle....much more if it's a rough day. Also I have about 3' of 1/2" chain on my anchor then the rope.....I have't had to anchor in 80' but many times in 70+ feet on Lake Erie when the perch go deep late in the summer.

Jay T Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I use 100' of rope and 6 feet of chain, and I have had no problems with my 16' but you will need more if it is rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gbfisher Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Buy yourself a good Sea Anchor big enough for the boat you are in and 150' of good rope. You can add a few feet of chain or you can add another smaller anchor up the rope and go with that in a strong wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
