Pole Anchors Less Time Anchoring More Time Fishing

The concept of modern power pole anchors has now been well and truly tested in the marketplace. The idea was first popularized around 1998 when a keen shallow water fisherman in the USA designed a system to suit his needs. He combined an age-old notion with the latest technology to produce potent holding power. He commercialized his design to make it available to other fishing enthusiasts in an attractive easy to use product. Thousands of his systems have been sold during the past 12 years all over the world.

Various other systems have since been developed so that, today, a number of alternative products are marketed providing consumers with choice. All these alternatives are variations of the same theme. The basic task is always the same; shove a four-to-eight foot pole solidly into the ground so that the boat is effectively tethered to, and held in place by, the pole.

Shallow water fishing requires the ability to stop and position a boat frequently, spot the target fish, work the area and then move on. And all of these should ideally be done quickly, with minimum noise and fuss and in an eco-friendly manner without damaging the water bed. In short, it needs to be swift, silent, often, secure and green.

Most systems come equipped with a hydraulic action that allows the retractable anchor-arm to extend rapidly, in less than five seconds. This rapid deployment provides enough control to stop a boat as soon as a fish is spotted, regardless of current or wind conditions.

The pole slides into the water smoothly with a hush, using a silent pump system. Minimum noise, minimum fuss to disrupt the fish. No noise and wash from a trolling motor and clanging anchor.

Once a power pole boat anchor is securely lodged in the ground, hydraulic pressure locks it down. The result is no drift and no anchor lines or damage to the ground. All achieved simply and effectively. And when its time to leave, the anchor hauls in easy and clean. No messy sand, odorous mud or annoying sea grasses to foul the anchor and clutter the boat.

Pole anchors are lightweight, an entire system typically weighing only 23 to 28 pounds per unit. They are usually supplied with a range of handy optional extras such as a remote control pad and some have a foot switch if hands-free operation is required. They easily mount onto a transom. When not being used, they retract to a neat, compact profile that is not intrusive and never interferes with launching or hauling the boat.
