The patent has expired on the Bruce anchor, so the copies are known as Claws. The 1-kg version (2.2 lbs) is ample MOST of the time - pretty much always in the bay. I have mine rigged to 30' of Tractor Supply 1/4" nylon line and have never found it wanting. Check Capt Jack's posts on rigging an anchor, tho...they're really helpful. Oh, and I have a Pro Explorer, similar hull design but almost 2' shorter. Good luck!

medlin88,
I have an X-Factor and this setup has worked well for me in the bay and deeper water. I use a trolley system with harken pulleys on the front (right side) and back (right side) of kayak. Once I have decided if I'm fishing into the current or with the current I tie the anchor line to a clam cleat (right side). I then run the achor line, with float attached, through the spring loaded caribiner which makes it easy to detach and fight the bigger fish. Hope this helps!!
