Should I Buy A Power Pole For Boats?
The power pole for boats is a modern answer for anchoring small to medium-sized leisure boats in shallow depths. The unit is especially appreciated by anglers who need to place their craft in precise locations, sometimes for a matter of minutes, and then move on. In these instances, anchoring must be performed quietly and quickly without scaring the fish.
The system was inspired by the long-practiced method of pole boating in shallow, quiet waters where the boat is manually propelled with a long pole. Once the boater reaches a selected location, the pole is thrust into the water bottom and used to tie the boat.
The power pole anchor is generally available to anchor in depths up to either six feet or eight feet. It can be positioned in seconds and recovered just as rapidly. It will grab and remain secure on most bottom types. The system deploys with virtually no noise above water and minimal disturbance of any kind below water, establishing it as a superior alternative to a trolling motor. The unit fixes directly on most transoms, close to the motor and waterline. If necessary, an adapter plate can be positioned on the transom and the anchor attached to the plate. When not used, at anchor, the unit folds to around half its length when extended at anchor. The unit stores upright on the transom.
The anchor is deployable or retrievable in a handful of seconds and at the push of a button. The anchor will hold fast in virtually any bottom surface whether it be sand, rock, gravel, mud, silt, grasses and so on. The system deploys quietly and with a minimum of pump noise, water vibration or disturbed material lifting from the bottom to cloud the water and scare the fish. It is considered a significant improvement on trolling motors.
The unit mounts directly on the transom, above the waterline, next to the outboard motors outside the boat. Alternatively, it is mountable on a purpose-designed adapter plate rather than directly onto the transom. When not at anchor, the unit retracts and folds to about half its in-use length. The unit stores vertically at its installed position on the transom. Boat batteries power the unit and it may be conveniently operated from a handheld remote control pad. The unit is supplied with or without the remote control unit.
The system mounts on the transom, outside the boat adjacent to the outboard above the waterline. When not used, it folds to about three or four feet in length. It stores vertically on the transom.
Anglers that use the power-pole claim it expands their sporting flexibility in subtle ways. For example, the system allows very effective downwind fishing since they can fine-tune the drift of the boat by repeatedly dropping and weighing anchor. The power-pole also improves sight fishing; the angler maintains better visual contact with the fish. Similarly, the lure can be controlled better during windy conditions as well as a more sensitive feel over the line.
The power-pole is suitable to be used in both fresh and salt water. If the power-pole is used, a conventional anchor is not necessary. It has a minimal footprint and is environmentally sensitive, causing minimum disturbance at any location.
The unit is built sturdy and to last. It is corrosion resistant, being either anodized during production or coated with a paint-like finish specifically engineered for marine products.
