I would never use a fortress anchor for togs. There is no question that with their strong cast aluminum alloy construction, and adjustable holding angle, not to mention that they can be broken down easily enough for storage, they are really a great anchor. However, anytime you drop a hook in a rock pile, there is a chance that you may never see it again. Fortress is just too expensive for my blood to gamble it on a rock pile when a cheap China made anchor will work fine.
Stuck fortress is no match for twin 6-71ti's.
Parts are replaceable fo' free.

You're right though, I won't be using a fortress on the small boat.
I just posted to say they are a very good anchor and worth it if you are staying overnight on the hook.
