@@primeauxbassdude5178 can't argue you there. (2) Pro II for 6 years = two complete pump replacements, 3 circuit boards, 1 electric motor and re-bushing (plastic) and hardware every two years. No explanation why a board wont last two years.
Come on...does it really "sense the wind and the waves"?? Or does it just puts down two anchor points/arms and keeps u sited in those two places by sensing the position of the arms.
Looks cool, I wish they would have somehow went electric with this style. I have no room in my Ranger Rt-178. I'm still running the first gen 12ft talons. Minn Kota if you would like to sponsor me I will take 2 of the 10ft black and make them fit somehow. :)
Garmin, Power Pole, Lowrance all have new pruduct, The force, ghosht and onboard charging system from power pole all came out with new product this year and lots of RnD, Minnkota "hold my beer boys" doesnt even update their trolling motor to brushless lets copy what every other company does in fishing. copy each other. I'm a minnkota fan and they dropped the hammer on this.
You would think the price would have been more reasonable than power pole. That’s most people’s biggest issue. This looks the same as my power poles 🤷🏻♂️
They must have worked out an agreement with Power-Pole. Otherwise, they'll be sued. These appear to be identical to Power-Pole with a minor tech upgrade. Even the remote foot control looks the same as Power-Pole.
Minn Kota’s new Raptor shallow-water anchor will be offered in 8- and 10-foot lengths as well as a variety of options and colors. Raptor models will be available mid-July from authorized Minn Kota retailers starting at $1,499.99 up to 1,899.99. Minn Kota’s shallow water anchors are backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty plus a lifetime warranty on the spike for years of reliability anglers can count on.

Nice Power Poles!!
Finally a anchoring system like no other, completely new and very affordable
I feel like I have seen something very similar.....ah my power pole blades!!
What a great innovative product! Well done PowerPole. I mean minn Kota lol
How about copying power pole?
If they build a product that doesn't require constantly replacing $200 circuit boards like Power pole does, then its a winner!
@@primeauxbassdude5178 never had to replace mine. Running them for ~8+ years. 🤷♂️
Primeaux Bassdude haven’t replaced a board in either of my blades.

@@MrHvbass 2 years would be a plus...ive got two poles and now on my third circuit board in a year.
Looking forward to checking these out!

Would a single one of these work to keep a 1436 Jon boat anchored or would I need 2 like in the video?
Thank you for contacting Minn Kota. One Raptor will keep your boat anchored. Thank you.
Looks cool, I wish they would have somehow went electric with this style. I have no room in my Ranger Rt-178. I'm still running the first gen 12ft talons. Minn Kota if you would like to sponsor me I will take 2 of the 10ft black and make them fit somehow. :)
What the boat is in the video?

Just gonna rip power pole off like that ?
Wat kost die flauwekul?
Had my hydraulic line go on my power poles , wish it could be all electric operated.
Look up tinyboatnation, he made some electric ones, with linear actuators.

Been thinking about getting blades but I think I will try Raptors instead
So, what we're saying here is that the Talons were a mistake.
Guess the debate is over.
...or simply get the original
Hmm.... must be quieter than the talons?!

Shannon Poole patent expired won’t be sued
So much for patens
Patent :)
Why even go fishing? The art of dead reckoning, anchoring, and fishing is why we go. That is why it’s called FISHING.
Change tour profile name to power pole
not for me i'm staying with my two 12 ft Talons on my Ranger RT178
And it voids your Warranty.
And only $5k a piece. Not affordable for your average fisherman
$1500-$1800 each.
