It's a very nice feature (anchor)...... the best use is deepwater perch fishing in cold water.... you wanna change spots...... pull up the electric trolling motor, run to new spot, put down the trolling motor...... done. no hauling anchor rope and chain or deploying, or hoping it holds in the wind ....... I moved probably 8 times in 55 to 65 fow last November before finding a cooperative school........ mine is the Terrova.
I also use it when trolling solo or with another person..... in 2 different boats. It's a great adder..........
