What's the average length of your anchor rope if you've got a Jon boat? Figure for catching bass, I don't need to be anchored to anything deeper than 20 ft. Anyone?
I have 2- 50' and 1- 30' anchor lines for my 1436 jon boat. I normally use a single 50' line, but have used 100'+ when the wind/waves were getting bad. The extra "scope" lets the anchor dig in and hold instead of being yanked off the bottom of the lake.
If you boat where there is current, you want one that will hold you if you break down.
for sitting still to fish, mushroom on a short line is all you need.
