Is there a science (or art) to choosing an anchor or can I just tie a rope to a 15 lb. chunk of iron and toss it overboard?

I have a fortress anchor and love it. Have never had a issue staying put. Also like how light weight it is.

Wow! Didn't realize the Fortress was that much........
I cried when I had to cut the rope on mine. It was hopelessly caught in the top of an underwater tree.
After an hour of trying to get it free, the knife came out.
I have a GCW 28' tri-toon and use the FX-7 (4 lbs) with just rope. Works like a charm and is obviously very light.What weight is good for a pontoon?
I spend most of my time at lake Havasu and it is a man made lake so I have no idea what type to use.So, how do I choose? I'll spend most of my time on lakes created by flooding hilly farmland... don't really know what's down there.
I like this! Am I correct in presuming that this type would not require a chain? And how much line?View attachment 21504
I've had really good luck with the Richter anchors. They hold very well and are fairly compact for storage. Not exactly cheap but quite a bit cheaper than the box anchor or Fortress. I've used the 18lb on a 23' pontoon in a variety of different conditions and it's been great.
