Watch this video which compares popular bands: notice the short scope, of course a proper scope is best

Here's another:

I like it so much, I may buy another small one to use as a stern anchor for use at the sand bars.
While I am sure the Mantus is a good anchor, I find it interesting that in the video test of the other anchors, no chain was used. All those other anchors require at least 4' of chain to work or they simply won't dig in as depicted in the video. A proper test would have been to test as manufacturer designed them to be used, with chain...results would have been much different.
