Minn Kota Talon Anchoring System A Whole New Level Above Competitors

Minn Kota has launched a new shallow water pole or spike anchor that improves on existing products in the class. In contrast to competing brands, the Minn Kota Talon anchoring system uses an electro-mechanical design, not hydraulics. MK claims this is a powerful differentiator since it makes its product lighter, easier to install, more durable, quicker to deploy with stronger holding power. Cabelas Talon anchoring system is supplied with a full 2 year manufacturers warranty.

Shallow water anglers will be familiar with pole anchors. They have been marketed for many years now. Thousands of systems have been purchased by satisfied anglers around the globe. They are a well-proven product based on a solid concept that has been tried and tested. Overall, the MK product claims superior performance compared to existing competitors.

The MK Talon allows anglers to quickly and silently anchor their boat exactly where fish are biting, without spooking them. And without a dirty anchor messing up the boat. Anglers can fish productively without wasting time fumbling with an anchor.

The MK anchor product provides new capabilities not supplied with other pole anchors. Perhaps the most important new feature is the automatic Up-Down Pole control capability. This is a rapid one-touch button press action that initiates a totally automatic start-to-end deployment routine. It avoids any need to continuously hold a button until the pole anchor is fully deployed.

Retrieving the anchor is just as simple. A one-touch push reverses the process. The MK anchor is operated from either a fixed control panel or a pocket-sized wireless remote pad.

Importantly, the MK anchor product provides ultra-secure holding power when deployed, the strongest holding in its class. The exclusive MK auto drive capability drives the spike deep into the bottom using a trio of three successive drives. Each individual drive is powered by a progressively stronger force. This three-hit driving procedure buries the spike deeper with more holding power than any other pole anchor product.

A set of LED indicator light panel that estimates, in one-foot intervals, the depth to which the anchor has been deployed. As a safety feature, an alarm warns the skipper if the outboard engine is started while the pole remains deployed.

Because it does not rely on hydraulics, the Minn Kota Talon anchoring system is usually simpler and less costly to install on a boat. It has a small footprint and needs less space volumetrically for installation and operation. This movement flexibility, vertically and back-front (30 degrees) permits the product to be installed on any boat configuration without modifications. When not in use, the lightweight MK product can be easily removed from a boat using a Quick Release Bracket that comes as standard. Cabelas, the leading outdoor equipment supplier, stocks Kinn Mota trolling motors Talon anchoring system and many more KM products.

Online Listings - Used Power Pole For Sale

Many might think that all power poles are used for above-ground utility wires, but sports fishers know that this term can refer to a fairly recent technological advance in the stop and go method of stalking schools of fish in shallow waters. Finding a used power pole for sale is easy online, where many classified sites have listings for these sought-after devices.

Also known as dig in anchors and shallow water anchors, the devices are raised and lowed by hydraulic pumps. They are easily raised and lowered, to allow a boat to be kept in one place despite the effects of currents and wind. When the fish move, it is easy to flip the switch and follow them to the next good fishing spot. Different models extend from four feet to twelve feet, although most of the ones for sale will be six or eight foot poles.

One of the main attractions is that the whole apparatus is mounted outside the boat, on the transom or at the bow. This means that there are no anchor flanges on board to trip over, no ropes to coil or to tangle, and no slippery pools of dripping water, slimy underwater weeds, or mud or sand from the bottom.

One or more electric switches installed in the boat make it quick and easy to drop the pole or raise it, without having to have one or both hands free to handle a traditional anchor. Some models work off a remote control, which can be activated from anywhere in the boat. Designed for boats up to 23 feet long and up to 4500 pounds, these devices make it easy to concentrate on stalking and catching fish.

The whole idea is that once the boat is maneuvered into position, it can be held there by the pole, which can be lowered in seconds with little noise or disturbance of the water which scares away the prey. It is just as quick to raise the anchor when the fish move on and the boat needs to quietly follow.

Developed by a computer guy with mechanical engineering skills in the late 1990s, this concept has not been around very long. New advances are being made on the original designs, which work far better than trying to either stay in position by running the engine or by using a regular bottom-dragging anchor. Used models may not have all the new decorative colors or may weigh a little more, but all are pretty easy to install and operate.

It is always nice to get a bargain, and finding a used power pole in the online classifieds can really make the day for a dedicated sports fisherman or woman. For those who like fishing the flats and shallows, these outboard anchors are great time and effort savers.
