Is a Power Pole Worth the Money?

Posted On May 02, 2011
My answer --- They could charge twice as much and I would still have two on my boat.

Everywhere I go I get asked "what are those things sticking up on the back of your boat?" Well they are Power Poles, the next thing you are going to want to add to your rig.

Power Poles are a hydraulic shallow water anchor which will silently anchor your boat with the push of a button in depths of 8 feet or less. You don't have to have a bass boat to use this great product, it will fit on just about any fishing boat out there. There is also a 6 foot version and several color choices so you can get one to match your boat.


Power Poles are easy to install and they are almost indestructible. It doesn't matter how hard the wind is blowing you can fish your spots. They hold you firmly in place in wind, current and waves and lets you use the trolling motor less so you're quieter and save battery life. No more dead batteries because you were fighting the wind or current all day. They go up and down in seconds and are whisper quiet locking you down right where you want to be. There are hundreds of situations where having a Power Pole gives you a huge advantage in fact there are so many I am not even going to attempt to list them.

I hear guys saying all the time that they simply can't justify spending the money for something they won't use that much. Trust me you will use these things. Most days I put mine up and down hundreds of times. I don't know of anyone who has put one on their boat and took it off because they didn't love the thing. I would feel under equipped out there without them now, it would be almost like fishing without a trolling motor. Right now we are starting to see more and more Power Poles here in Ontario and I know that within a few years most tournament guys will see the benefits just like they did with Side Imaging. Now a days if you don't have side imaging (Hummingbird) or side scan (Lowrance) then you are missing out and it's very rare to see a tournament boat without these units. Power Poles will be the same way in a very short time and if you want to gain an advantage over the competition I suggest you get one now before you are playing catch up.

Want to see them in action? Go to youtube.com and check out the videos, you will see what I mean by indestructible!!!!

Chesapeake Bay 2010 - Gear

This event I used three different baits. My main bait and the one I caught all my fish on was a green pumpkin Slammer made by X Zone Lures (formerly called Strike Zone Tournament Baits). I also employed a 3 1/2 inch green pumpkin tube on a 1/4 ounce jig head and a 3/8 ounce black and blue flipping jig with a black Zoom Big Salty Chunk. I threw the Slammer on 6lb test

2010 B.A.S.S. Open - Chesapeake Bay

Well this trip to Maryland's Chesapeake Bay was much less productive for me than in 2009. The tidal fishery whooped my butt this time around. Once again I fished for smallmouth in the Susquehanna River however it was a different time of year than last year and those big fish just weren't around. After practice I knew this was going to be a brutal event and just catching a limit each day would

Detroit River Gear

It's always great when you can fish a tournament with only two rods on the deck and this was one of those times. I was dragging tubes and dropshots in 14-18 ft of water and I was also dropshoting directly below the boat. For the tube I was using a 7' MH Abu Garcia Vendetta Spinning rod paired with a Abu Garcia Soron STX 20 reel with 20lb SpiderWire Stealth braid and a 10lb Trilene 100%
