I broke down and bought a mighty-mite anchor this weekend (saw it at west marine thought of Vans anchor) and just eye spliced 150' of line to it (no chain) for a fishing anchor. Having trashed a number of danforths in my day this bendable hook is a good idea. 74 bucks for the anchor. I think Vans stainless anchor is made with more "love" and stronger materials but the mighty mite is pretty decent. It has 1/2" aluminum tines and a 2" center Aluminum tube filled with lead. It weighs 12 lbs and the tines are not as easy to bend as you think, you need to wedge it in something and really lean on it.
There is also a mounting bracket available (that I have to order) that allows it to fit nicely in my motor well. (Its not something you want flopping around.)
