Basically the tests were for under $200 anchors in mud hence the absence
of the Supermax I suppose which to my mind is a great mud anchor. I
don't think any of these anchors are large enough for boats over 30 ft
or so except as lunch hooks. Highest holding power was 500 pounds for
the West marine Performance.

The Lewmar Delta Fast Set and West Marine Performance were top rated for
holding.
