They look like a grappling hook with bendable hooks.

Having a hard time anchoring over oysted beds in a current with standard anchor and chain and line.

Hate to spend 2000-3000 for spot lock trolling motor if our grandfathers had or there is a better way to anchor. Too deep for a Cajun marsh spear.

I have the 22# and it’s a little overkill for my boat but it always holds. Make sure you have 5’-6’ of good chain. Shackle on bottom and zip tie at top, when it hangs up and it will you can break tie and anchor will come up.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I'm not a fan of destroying any part of an oyster reef by jamming an anchor into it. That's just me though. It seems oyster reefs are dying and disappearing due to a number of factors these days (natural and human caused), so I am going to try to do my part in not destroying any.

In my experience almost any anchor will work on oyster reefs as long as you have a good length of chain attached. I use at least the length of the boat in chain. Its crucial to keeping the proper angle on the anchor. You want it pulling parallel to the sea floor as much as possible.
