What anchors, chain and rode do you CD25 sailors use?

I have used a 15# Danforth type anchor with about 10 ft of chain and 150 ft of 1/2 inch three strand rode. I seldom need more than 60 - 80 ft of rode as I usually anchor in less than 30 ft of water even with our 7 ft tides. The bottoms here are almost exclusively soft mud, so Danforths hold well. This has served me well for over 25 years on my CD-25.
