I am in short supply of lead but if your not looking for to heavy of one i can do it. It will look like the smallest one in this pic witch is about 10 pounds the next size up is 12.

Large Carabiner with three or four strands of maybe 6 to 8 links of heavy chain. You can add or subtract as needed. Plus you can used chains made of other than Lead as some waters are now banning lead.

I have also made some steel case anchors with a plug in them and you can fill it with sand or desired material to get the weight you want, but they get pretty expensive. The cheaper the anchor the better as sometimes when you anchor in the wrong spot the only option is leaving it there.
