Bterrill Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I don't even know about the Attwood system. I use the black mechanism from Bass Pro Shops. Anchoring too much trouble??? If you had an anchor system or saw one used, you would see it is not any trouble at all. Getting out and wading is an option, but in some of my spots getting out and wading is not advantageous and also not as stealthy. Stealthiness results in more and bigger fish I have found. I can be quieter just slipping the anchor down to the bottom of the river than getting out and sending out vibrations from wading. Got to agree with Jonn, anchoring isn't tough. I rig front and back anchors for when I'm fishing down or upstream. I wouldn't float without them Use common sense on where to anchor. If your river really smokes, then anchor in eddies, etc... In terms of fish in your anchor line, lead them away with the rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonn Graham Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I anchor off the back and then cast forward or to the side. Have never had a fish tangle in the anchor rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjordan Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I anchor off the back if traveling down stream and off the front when fishing up and like Jonn I have never had a fish tangle in the anchor rope. If I really think about it, its never even been a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
