They have a good amount of lifting power matter of fact, I have seen the flukes on a 12 pound anchor that had been "stuck" in the something were bent over like a coke can lid after the ball pulled it free.

Now that other critical thing to remember is your anchor chain placement location point. What you want to do is attach your chain to the bottom end of the anchor (by the flukes) and then wire tie it in several spots up the shaft to the top and wire tie it again where most people normally attach the chain.... Now what happens is if the force become to great too pull the anchor free straight up, the wire ties will break and cause the anchor to now get snatched and pulled 180 degrees in the opposite direction and 9 times out of 10 break it free with little lifting effort being applied by the anchor ball.

I have some pictures posted in the 210 mods section on how to do it

on your standard (low budget) anchors, but some elect to spend more and get a hydro bubble model that has some of these features built in... I have neither anymore since my Power Pole (now that is a expensive anchor ) handles 99.9 % of all my anchor duties, and I just carry a simple mushroom anchor and some line in a bag shoved forward if I am running the shore line or fishing in water deeper than 6 feet which for me anymore, is rare
