There was a lot of talk about Mantus anchors a few years ago.
You may be able to find all the things you are looking for through a search.
I know a buddy of mine just bought a 21' striper and I am trying to talk him into a 16 lb shovel style anchor instead of the old rocking horse standby.
Mostly anchoring here in the central Oregon lakes but spend a lot of time crossing the bar in Newport need something to throw out in case of an emergency that will keep me off the beach or jetty.
I have a 13 lb mantis on my 20 foot forward helm Willie 22.6 with offshore platform holds well in the Columbia and a lot easier to deal with. You may need a larger size. Very happy with it and it fits in my Lee Lock system .
The 13 lb Mantus holds my 24 foot pilot house without slipping in the lower river. I had a 22lb Bruce prior to the mantus and I would slide at times. Almost 1/2 the weight and more holding or digging in hold Im sold on the Mantus.
The best research you can do on anchors and holding is thru the sailboat cruiser forums. The consensus seems to be that the mantus is the baby to have.
thats a navy type anchor. i use one. no sharp points and fits in the standard anchor systems we use .
