Power pole
Anyone ever put a power pole on a toon. I am thinking of getting one since a lot of my fishing is in shallow water.

Re: Power pole
It is a anchor that mounts to the rear of the boat and used in shallow water. Runs off your battery.

Re: Power pole
I never have seen one on a pontoon boat, but if your fishing conditions will handle one--go for it.
Our lake's too deep for one to do much good.

I keep two 10 ft pipes I got from the electrical dept at Home Depot, I just hammer them in and rope it off. Works great for me.
I also can use it to push off from the bank if the water is cold.
I fish shallow for catfish a lot during the spring.

I often wonder if Jimmy really did crack corn, and why should I care?

Only the minn Kota talon is electric, the power pole is hydraulic. Here's a couple pics of them on toonsGonefishing wrote:It is a anchor that mounts to the rear of the boat and used in shallow water. Runs off your battery.
From what I've seen they need to have coustom mounting plates for use on a pontoon boat. I plan on getting a minn Kota talon on my new toon, I'd like to have two so well see how it goes

Re: Power pole
I see them for about $100 less in (comparable) models. And there is a few sites like moodeals.com who have very good prices on them often... My friend got two 8' talons at $900 a piece last year for his bay boat from this site.HandymanHerb wrote:Nope about the same, 1300 and up, I think I'll be sticking to something on the manual sideMrtoler wrote:The talons are auctually a bit cheaper compared to the power pole!

Re: Power pole
I came across this on another thread. Seems reasonably priced. Anyone had any experience with? It looks like the only to mount it on a toon would be at the bow. Appreciate your thoughts.
