The min kota has a 100' line I think its for 800#. I fish Oolagah and with all the brush and I use the Richte anchor with prongs sticking out so I tie a second rope on bottom of anchor so I can always pulling it backwards. Is not a problem as have hands free to coil extra rope while anchor is lifting anchor. Have not lost an anchor or had any problen retreiving anchor since went to second rope.
