Anchoring with Superstick Push Pole

[Rainmakr]

Anyone using a superstick push pole to anchor rear of boat when backing up to the beach? If so, are you mounting a bracket to the boat or just tying off to the push pole? I'm looking into different options instead of running tie off rope to shore or using a secondary anchor.

How much to flats boats and bay boats weigh? That doesn't look like it would hold much weight....

I've seen it hold a 243 center console Everglades boat.

Huh....just doesn't seem possible....guess it is more than just a straight spike? I didn't read much, but it says max 22' bay or flats boat ... I wonder how much wind it would hold them in?

So I ordered a fiberglass stick anchor from coll water products and was able to test it out today. It worked GREAT! No more secondary boat anchor or tying an additional rope to a the shore.
Wind was blowing off and on today and boat stayed in place. I had the traditional boat anchor in the front and the stick anchor holding the rear.

You can see the stick anchor in the picture below.

I use something similar. Works very good. I can install by hand in loose sand, and use a small mallet if the ground is a little harder. Will hold the boat all day with no anchor.
