It's called a box anchor. I got the large size for the stern and I can throw it off and it sets immediately (except in grass and weeds, but I avoid those areas). It doesn't require the same scope as the danforth. And the best part is it folds up nice and flat. I also got a Danik hook which makes connecting and adjusting the length very easy.

That's what I was referring to as a slide anchor (referred to differently in different places). It looks like it works great, but there's a video comparing that to Mantus and the latter does a better job (in the video).
