Where are you located (what city)?
If VB/Norfolk, Atlantic Bait (see ad link top of page) or Oceans East2 Tackle....

If you are in the Hampton/NN area go to Wilcox Bait & Tackle.

Very easy to make for less than $20. Need an 8' section of 1/4" rebar, a 12" piece of pipe about 1 - 1/4 ID, a vise (not a vice, which we all have!), and a hacksaw. Melting some lead makes it go down faster.

Try these (I haven't looked at them):

If you know where to get your hands on a welding machine i can make you one, i need one too. i have the material to make them [rebar] but no machine. The guy that use to supply it died of liver failure. i bought one of those tackel shop anchors the first time it hung and i tried to straighted it back out it broke rite off in my hand, cheap pot metal. i have the stinger, shield, gloves, no leads or ground clamp.

Dont buy the prefab commercial ones - no need to spend the money. Go to any welding shop, make one using 2 -3 feet of 2" heavy wall galvanized pipe. have them weld a ring loop to one end and attach about 5 -7 feet of fairly heavy chain using an open loop link with screw closure.
Have them weld 4 umbrella style spines, made of #3 or so rebar and get them to bend each rod so that the diameter of the whole thing is about 3 feet across. the end of each spine should bring the rebar almost parallel to the pipe. It will last you forever and the best thing is that you can power off the anchor and rebend the bar back to the curve using another piece of the same pipe.
After the chain, use another heavy open link to tie on your rope. Use a larger diameter line (anchor line size) so that its easier on the hands than small rope is.

Works like a charm, lasts forever and doesnt cost much.
