This Promarine anchor is a type of mushroom anchor. Generally these anchors have 3 butterflies instead of a mushroom cap. Although the tips are not sharp, they still dig into the soft river bed. They also grab onto some rocks. A good 5:1 scope anchor works best. In strong currents or strong winds, other anchors may work better, but then a two-anchor system can be used.
Two anchors are used (front and back of the boat) for better stabilization, so two anchors are recommended. The diagram in the photo shows how to choose an anchor weight for the length of your boat
A rubber coated anchor should be used with an anchor line of appropriate thickness and length depending on the weight of the anchor and the depth of the water
