The most important thing about an anchor for a kayak is that it be quick release. This is primarily for safety.

Most are attached to rope, not chain.

There are a lot of threads about the construction and fitting of quick release anchors. Search under the "Gearing Up" section.

yep. Most use the folding type anchor since you'll be in mud. 5-8lbs is all you'll need. But like Phil said make sure you can dump it real fast. It helps to just a bit of extra rope so you are not dealing with 50 feet of line in your lap.
