It's the easiest anchor to set and pull up with great holding power. Just google Digger anchor to find their website to determine the size you need, most likely a 15 lb is all you need. http://www.diggeranchor.com/anchors.html
The digger really is your best option by far!

Well, on ishoot308's recommendation I bought the Digger 15 lb anchor and have used it a few times at popular anchoring spots on the lake.
This thing DIGS and SETS immediately! I love it and the way it collapses by tugging on the rope (NO CHAIN, MIND YOU!)
Everywhere I have used it, it performs like an anchor should.
By contrast, I'm still using the freebie Danforth "style" anchor that comes with the boat for a stern anchor but it is literally, useless. Wind and wakes cause it to slip miserably, along the bottom, chain and all...when I retrieve it it feels like a dead fish...not the Digger!
Thanks, Ishoot308!
