Like RIRock stated grapples are tough in the deep. We usually fish 95+ feet and we've bent the s%$t out of the Danforth but a little heat and a press ant it's ready to go again do be shy about the chain.
Getting short strong ties can be a challenge but I found them at some of the industrial parts websites. Also lobstermen sometimes use them.
The heck with an expensive SS anchor go down to your local commercial fishing pier and I guarantee you can buy one cheap. They drag them up and lobstermen get them all the time.
