think if I went the power pole route I'd need two to lock me into pointing in one direction. Do you find anchoring facing up current will spin you around?
I could see where that would help but when I'm on the river I run a anchor wizard off of the bow. That system has worked well for me and honestly I usually just turn around and fish vs. even using the anchor wizard
I don’t. I bought that trailer years ago for $100 to haul my 4 wheeler. I just replaced the hubs, tires, added bearing buddies and added submersible lights. The top rack I just added wood 2x4’s to haul a 2nd kayak
It won’t dig it but it’ll create enough friction to hold you. One thing to be careful with on rock is it will push your kayak up since it can’t dig in and may be come more unstable. One of the lakes I fish regularly in this video has a lot of boulders and rock and I use it there all the time
Thanks for the vid. I have an old town min kota. Love it. I have a stake out pole but it’s cumbersome and noisy. Looks like I’m getting a power pole.
My other kayak is an Old Town, they're a good boat! You'll like the power pole
I love my power pole, especially on the river. I hadn’t thought about using it as a drag in deeper water will have to try that this year!
I use it on St Clair like that and there’s a stretch on another lake with deep water I use it like that all the time

@@theloonangler yeah, that's what I'm planning while rigging the new yak
are you running a bow mount motor?
@@theloonangler I will have both options
@FishinWithGRAMPS I took a 2nd xi3 quick disconnect and added the anchor wizard so I can add it quick if I don’t want to use my motor
Just watching your standing tactics, I always have difficulty 😅 doing that!
It takes some getting used to that’s for sure!
There isn’t a lot I really want to add to my kayak but an anchor pole would be awesome!
I was hesitant with the cost and there are definitely other alternatives but I wish I had gotten it sooner over some other upgrades.
@@theloonangler the cost has been what has held me back but I know I would use it a ton!
Thanks for the video it was great Can you share how long the battery pack seems to last Thank you
I’ve read it’ll last 100 cycles (down and up being 1 cycle) but I’ve never ran the battery down in a day. I do charge it after every trip
Thank you
You have a video about your trailer?
I don’t. I bought that trailer years ago for $100 to haul my 4 wheeler. I just replaced the hubs, tires, added bearing buddies and added submersible lights. The top rack I just added wood 2x4’s to haul a 2nd kayak
How does it work on hard bottoms though? How does the pole dig in?
