Looking for a shallow water anchor for my 16 xpress with a 40 tiller, anyone using anything they really like?

I had a wang anchor on my key west. It worked pretty well

You can make stick anchors out of golf flag poles, just cut the bottom off and sharpen it with a grinder. Then add a T-handle to the top to push it into the ground with. I keep a pair in my bass tracker for fishing for bedded fish. Works great for small aluminum boats, but it's hard to beat an actual set of power poles.
My suggestion...

I have a Cajun Anchor. Not sure if they are still around, but I love mine. Easy to make on your own as well.
I have been want to make something like this for the duck boat. I guess it's the same idea of spud poles.
I want something to hold the boat in position in the hole when hunting flooded timber that's too deep too wade.
The best? Two power poles.
The second best and most cost effective?
Grounding rod with a shackle through one end for a Jon boat. Get two if you don't want to swing around.
Get something glass for a glass boat.
The copper ones get a nice patina.
8' grounding rod, shackled to rope that sinks. You can harpoon it in twelve feet of water and be setup right on your spot.
8' or 10' $25.00 5/8" fiberglass rod from Grainger and a CPVC tee on the end.
The 1648 Alumacraft boat I bought years ago had two of these installed - fore and aft - with a 15 lb mushroom anchor on the front and a 15 lb River anchor in the rear.

They are great for keeping your boat from swinging in the current, or with my extended front deck doing a little fly fishing up at Jocassee.
