An excellent 25 lb bronze one came with my boat and I all ways use it. It is very helpful if you anchor where the currents shift with the tide.
I can put 70LBs of metal near or on the bottom. But only retrieve 40lbs at a time. Much easier on the back.

Slide it closed, and hang the anchor on it using the carabiner. Retrieval line is tied to the carabiner. Easy-peasey! In over 50 years, in conditions mild to wild, I have never dragged while using a kellet. I consider it essential, and it really is nothing to deploy and retrieve it.
