Yeah they sell those anchors cut at 3,6,9, and 12. Gonna try the spear anchor soon as I can get out to Gonzales. Supposed to be going to BR next week so I will go I 10 and stop at Cabelas.<br />
<br />
Today went back out there..two bass but the good news is the panfish are coming around. I got one on fly rod but missed him. He was small.<br />
<br />
My uncle was with me and asked me put fly rod away because I hooked him in the neck on one cast..not too bad but he said "please put that thing away".

<p>I like the spear anchor idea. Another thought is a modified mushroom anchor. You want a lead cored, vinyl coated version..</p>
<p>What you do, is cut the round mushroom head into four equal petals with single cuts from a hack saw. Cut from the outer rim to the center at 12 o'clock, 3, 6, and 9. Then when the anchor snags, the soft lead flukes will bend and release the anchor. Once you've retrieved the thing, bend the flukes back into position.</p>
<p>As far as I'm concerned, I'd be happy…</p>

<p>As far as I'm concerned, I'd be happy with a 5# 'goo, if it's legal. As for running lights - yeah, you gotta have them. Its a universal law, everywhere I know of.</p> Replace anchor with a Cajun…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2012-02-04:2036984:Comment:2387852012-02-04T02:50:52.538Zwaghttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/wag
<p> Replace anchor with a Cajun Spear Anchor (see my earlier post) --- they won't get stuck. </p>

<p>Too bad about the anchor. Even for a $15 lure I don't know if I'd want to strip down and dive in after it in waters that can hold snakes and gators, especially after sundown :-)</p>
