I have no doubt Craig makes a fine product, but I have never used it. I have used the following and place them in my order of preferce:
Delta. Great in most bottoms. Will set where other
anchors will not. Resets on tide shift pretty well. Expense is pretty good. Fits on a roller pretty good.
Danforth style. Pretty good in most bottoms, except sand. Not real good in sand and sometimes has trouble setting in mud.
Anchor roller, pretty good. Strength, pretty good. Expense, really good.
Fortress breaks down and will stowe well.
CQR. Good on first set. Sand, ok. Anchor roller, ok. Strength to hold, ok. Expense, sucks. Questionable reset.
Mushroom Anchor. Sucks in everything above, but is good as a paper weight so I put it ahead of the Claw.
Claw Anchor. On the anchor roller, sucks. Expense, sucks. In sand, really sucks. Reset, sucks. Paper weight, sucks... it tears up the papers. As a vacuum cleaner, it would seem it sucks bad enough to replace it, but it sucked at that too.
