I am looking through the classifieds for a dumbbell to use as an anchor and was wondering what people find sufficient (lbs or kg) - im fishing around south east QLD so nothing too swift.
If anyone has alternatives to the dumbbell I am all ears. I have a grapnel anchor but it is a cumbersome thing to have dangling over the side or on the floor between drops.
Has anyone made or found a clip which can be looped over an overhanging branch etc to hold you in place next to a snag?

a D clip similar to what a rock climber uses
or I use a clip the same as the long liners use to attach their droppers to the mainline, just loop the rope over a branch and clip onto itself

I remember those clips - we used to use them on the commercial boat years ago. May even be able to dig one up.
thanks guys.

I usually just use a couple of house bricks I've had the same ones for a while now and they work good always make sure I wash them if iam going in between waterways.

I use these, they work well
-
The $2 black spring clamps from crazy clark's are the go. A short length of bungy cord to reduce shock, then some rope to a carabiner clip works a treat.

Hey Sooty did you get those clips online or in a retail store?
-
I got mine from a retail outlet in Central QLD, they are available here or just Google them available at a few outlets
