The cheapest floats are the 20 liter drums. Will lift most anchors and they don't roll.

clip
make sure you get the model with the clip not the round ring! as the ring is a pain in the ass you either have to thread it back through your rope or disconnect your anchor and start from the other end
ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS EXCEPT YOU AND ME! AND IM NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOU!

Clip
BCF do a float setup with a pressure split ring to make it easy to attach to the anchor line.
Man with line in water catches fish!
You only get what you always got if you only do what you've always done!

thanks for the replies. from the helpful info def not going the round ring as can see the dramas that would cause. And also looks like BCF would be the cheapest place to get one. Thanks:)

I've had an Ezyclip for a while. They are a one-way non-return clip. They are great, however I recently had to splice my anchor rope and now the Ezyclip get's stuck on the splice during the retrieval process. Something to consider.
