I use a 10lb (or 15 can't remember) plastic coated mushroom from Walmart. I didn't like the folding kayak anchors at all. They pull up an ocean of weeds on weedy bottoms and don't hold in the wind and waves on sandy bottoms, but I didn't use rhode (sp?) either. The mushroom works perfectly and costs less. also, you don't have to fold it and unfold it, and the rope gets wrapped around the tines - PIA.
I'd definitely use a trolley. Pretty cheap and easy to install.

Interesting about the 10 -15lb mushroom anchor. Sounds like a brute force method. I don't know if I want to deal with that much extra weight. I'd rather bring a 4lb anchor that weeds us, as opposed to a 10-15lb one that doesn't.
