Best anchor I ever owned. A bit pricey, but it does work great.

I had a friend give me one of these. It is not real heavy or big. I was wondering what weight or size to use with a 19' aluminum deep V. What makes them so good. Is it because you can use a lighter one to do the same job others do with heavy?

They do however appear to be backordered.

I've tried several anchors and the Richtor has worked the best to hold my 1850 Tyee. It wasn't cheap so I won't be dabbling with other anchors for quite a while.

Bought my Richtor last year with a Ranger and it is just as the add says. Buy your last anchor first!

What sizes do they come in?
I have a Ranger 617 and am interest in purchasing one of these, but need to know which one to get.
Thanks.
How are these Richtor anchors in rocks. Are they easy to get out or is another anchor type better? Are they for "all" bottom types or are they better for some specific bottom like sand or mud?

They are very good in rocks. They are made so they will dig in until you go to pull them up. when the boat is positioned above them to pull them up, the chain slides from the top of the anchor to the bottom, so you are essentially pulling them out backwards, so being dug in isn't an issue.

I have been tempted to buy one also, but I was wondering if anyone out there has used one in the Detroit or St. Clair River. WE have a 6-8 mph current with a gravel & clay bottom. Most guys use a Navy anchor.

Big sky, You will probably want an 18lb for a 617. However, if you don't mind lifting 25 lbs out of the water and occasionally venture out in current or 2-4 ftrs you would be best suited for a 25lb. Get yourself a high quality line with a thimble to go along with the anchor and connect them with a galvanized connect link. We have a package available including anchor, line, chain and connect links at a new reduced price. You can find it at www.richeranchors.com . They will be backordered for a short period longer, but the wait will be worth it. Tight lines!

Perchjerker, have you ever used a richtor anchor in the Detroit River?
I fish the St. Clair River and was wondering if that would be a good one to use. Most of the guys use navy anchors, its the only thing that they found that works in the gravel and clay. You know how the 'RiverRats' are, they aren't into the modern stuff. I should talk, I'm a 'River Rat' myself, I live for handlining.

rabble, the last two years over a 25 of the PWT pros have been using the richter anchor while fishing the tour. This includes the St. Clair, and the feedback is positive. I hear comments about the holding power in current, while using less line, and having a release bar to retrieve the anchor if it gets lodged in rocks, timber, or debris. I use it while fishing the fox river, and it works great everytime. I prefer two for jigging because then I can position the boat sideways. Any questions send me an email. shughes1@wi.rr.com
