What kind of anchor is best suited for soft mud?

  1. Mushroom

  2. Plow

  3. Danforth

  4. Bruce

The correct answer is: Danforth

A Danforth anchor is most suitable for soft mud because it has a hinged design that allows it to bury itself deeply into the mud. This provides a strong hold and prevents the anchor from getting stuck. Mushroom anchors and plow anchors are better suited for deeper and more solid bottoms. Bruce anchors are better for rocky or seabed conditions.
