Manual Power Pole Vs. The Bomb

by on March 9, 2010

A manual power pole is a great idea someone must have dreamed up while rocking in a hammock, sipping a cool drink and thinking about fishing somewhere. Anywhere. They say a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work. If you’re someone who likes to fish, chances are good you also have a boat, which means this is for you. Every fishing boat would benefit by the installation of either a hydraulic or a manual power pole. Here’s why.

A power pole (not the kind that holds up the electric lines) is also known as a shallow water anchor. It’s for tethering a boat to the bottom while fishing (or just relaxing with another cool drink). It holds the boat in place while you do on about your business of recreating. Then, when it’s time to go, up comes the pole and you’re on your way.

Looking online for shallow water anchors will bring up all sorts, from the low end to the top of the line. Quality of construction, durability, ease of use and cost will all, of course, be considerations. Whichever type you choose, feel certain that you’ll be adding a great advantage to your boat.

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.

If you know where the fish are running, you want to stop right there and you want to stop there NOW. If you’re in eight feet of water or less, the manual power pole will do the job. Whether the bottom is covered with mud, rocks, gravel, sand or vegetation doesn’t matter. He manual power pole will lock you in and let you forget about it. It’s fast, quiet and effortless to use.

Winds up to 30 miles per hour won’t shake you loose. Your boat will be oblivious to the water currents. You can also forget about the clumsy boat anchor and the noisy trolling motor. The fish don’t like that stuff – it scares them away. The manual power pole doesn’t make ANY loud noises or disturb the bottom where it’s anchored.

You WANT a manual power pole now, right? Haha. If you’re a sport boater you SHOULD have one! They’re awesome. Now you’re okay with a manual power pole, you’ll thank yourself later for all the benefits you’ll receive.
