Shallow water anchor

AnY of you guy have your boat set with a shallow water anchor... I was kind of considering the new 15 ft minnkota talon just don't know if it would be worth the $2000 price tag

I saw a man at Grenada last year fishing bushes in shallow water that had a pole 8-10' long and he would pull up 20' and push the pole down beside his boat about midway. I think he had a loop on the side of his boat. He would fish up and down his boat and them pull up and do it again.

Think your talking about king pin anchor system[emoji1360]

I borrowed a idea from another site.
¾" PVC, a tee, ¾" dowel rods.
Cut the PVC too length, insert dowel rods (they act as stiffeners), cut one end at a 45° angle. With PVC glue, glue both ends (to seal it), glue tee on opposite end of 45° cut.
You tie off to the tee, or have a bull ring tied to a cleat, and put the pole through it.
By sealing it, it will now float.
Works good as a push pole also.
¾" PVC fits perfectly in a transom mount, trolling motor mount.
Is it perfect? Nope. Has some flex to it. I have had mine keep me in place in 15mph breeze.
Fiberglass poles are better, their also more expensive.
Do a search for "shallow water anchors".
