    Question Boat Acc.


    I saw two big Bass Boats driving down the road the other day and both boats had 2 pieces of painted metal attached to the back of the boat (not the trailer) extending up approx. 4-5' above the boat. Does anyone know what this is?


    Thanks for the info in advance.

    They're anchor arms that they let down after launching their boat and pulling back up to the bank to keep them from moving sideways or backwards or tearing up their trolling motors while they're parking their truck.

    I'd been seeing them for about a year or so and didn't have a clue what they were either till about 2 weeks ago and I was taking my boat out when a bunch of Tourney guys were launching and using them.

    they are for holding the boat in shallow water when fishing. i think they are around 1200.00 or more. lots of tournament fishermen use them now.

    They're Power Poles. MK has the Talon coming out to do the same thing. Those are hydraulic---MK's is electric.

    "Power Pole"
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

    You can order the PPole from the factory. I installed one on a bay boat I had for awhile. The new Talon will probably be smpler to install.

    I use a stiff 2" bamboo pole to hold my boat when fishing the spawn. Its a little cheaper. It also fits my redneck style of life
