A Manual Power Pole Is The Best Alternative

Manual power poles are great. Whether it's a manual power pole or an automatic model, the concept is simple. It's a way to stop your boat where you want and then stay in that exact spot. Any boat 25' and under could benefit from installing a P. P. Here's how it works.

A manual power pole is a shallow water anchor. It's purpose is to stop your boat exactly where you want it to stop, when you want it to stop, and then hold you in place against the current and the wind (up to 30 mph). It works in up to 8' of water. It allows you to do your thing in the boat, with the secure feeling of being tethered to the bottom.

There's a lot to choose from online in this shallow water anchor category, spanning a wide range in cost and quality. The concept is simple -- stake out your boat to the lake bed, river bed or sea bed. But there are a few different ways to accomplish this mission. Some are slightly tedious while others are totally automatic.

A pricey automatic model comes from a company by the same name -- Power-Pole. Their slogan... Swift and Secure... is a description of what they provide. That is to say a swift way to make your boat secure out there on the water. This is the one you'll see on the back of the boats of the welll financed professional anglers you see on TV.

It's easier to catch the fish when you have a way to stop your boat and secure it right where you see them swimming. In depths of up to 8' you can firmly attach to the land beneath the water. It doesn't matter if it's sand, mud, rocks, shells or vegetation. A manual power pole is quick (less than 5 sec), silent (won't scare the fish away).

The manual pole gives you total boat control. Mount one on the Bow and the Stern. You can stop exactly where you want without having to employ a cumbersome anchor or use a noisy trolling motor. Drop the pole and in less than five seconds you're securely tethered to the bottom. Even winds of up to 30 mph won't shake you loose. It's nice to have that feeling of security while you're busy in the boat.

Those who've experienced the power-pole in action want one and those who already have one wonder how they ever got along without it. A manual power pole is a less expensive alternative. Take a look.
