Reeltime,
I always recommend to use at least 5-6 foot of rope. Depending on the wave action should depend on the length of rope used. The more waves the longer the rope so when the boat rocks up and down it's not pulling up on the Stik.
So a rule of thumb is 5 foot for no waves and 10' and more for rough waves.

It works well or the Bruce anchor on a short rope does as well. Use 10 ft rope on trolley but have a hook/clip just below where the line clips onto the trolley so you can put a loop in the line to anchor short when needed.
In some of the Scupper Holes the plastic is thin so watch the amount of wear you have. They are a bear to repair if you wear a thin spot and start to leak. When the 120's first came out there were some casting defects and people were having problems with new kayaks.
