Steve Goodwin tests the seaweed penetration capabilities of four anchors using a controlled manual pull method.0:01 He evaluates a 17-pound Sarka XL, a 21-pound Spade, a 55-pound Rocna, and a 10-pound Fortress FX-16.0:07 The 17-pound Sarka XL penetrates one layer of seaweed but fails at two.0:43 The 21-pound Spade clears three layers before struggling at four.1:47 The 55-pound Rocna, featuring a 21-pound tip weight, successfully pushes through four layers of seaweed without resistance.2:24 The lightweight aluminum Fortress FX-16, with a tip weight of 1.25 pounds, penetrates a single layer but fails to clear two layers, confirming that its shallow fluke angle and low tip weight hinder performance in dense vegetation.4:13 While the Fortress FX-16 provides high holding power once it reaches the seabed, it lacks the mass required to pierce thick surface growth.4:59 Heavy-tipped anchors consistently outperform lighter models when navigating through seaweed-covered bottoms.5:07
