I’ve not found a discussion here on rigging a release hookup for a Bruce anchor.
Rig your chain to attach at the claw end with a shackle, run the chain along the shaft and secondary attachment (braided cord) at the end of the shank; it serves as a break-away should your anchor get snagged.
I’d be rigging this up to a 16.5 Bruce clone, if someone has experience here what do you use for the release? You need something strong enough to hold the boat but weak enough to break away if the anchor hangs up. Probable only use this on rocky bottom while fishing not on the hook at night.
The other line of thought is; go with a extra strong double braid anchor line & if you get hung down just pull it till its straight up & down, cleat it off, and put the power to it.
