Never liked the Danforth/fluke anchors but do use one to hold the bow because I can plant it with my foot in shallow water or directly on the beach

How big is the Lewmar? Just curious.
I run a 22 LB Delta on the bow (windlass allows me to run big ground tackle without a hassle) and a 4.4 lb Lewmar claw on the stern of my 6000 lb boat. They both work well, but the Lewmar never fails to set where the delta sometimes lands upside down and won't self-right. I am always astounded by how much tension I can apply to the little Lewmar without getting it to release, even with 3:1 scope or worse. It's an impressive little anchor.
