Grappling I have, I make my own out of wrought stainless steel, (get the stock through work and weld it here too.... shhhhhhh)that way it is ductile and can be bent back many times. Best of all absolutely NO RUST !!!!!!
I have made 3 sizes over the years and have the perfect one for my size boat. The grappling I use off the stern as a second anchor when i am near the rockpiles, keeps the boat in place nice.
Lots of good suggestions, but what it seems so far, is no one here uses a spade or claw type anchor. Except the guy I work with, but he dont fish, just anchors near beaches and drink martinis......
So based on info gathered, Danforth it is (with some modifications)........

I'll explain later, but lets say I should not have too much trouble with pot lines !!!!!
