FAQs

Depends on how you fish. One Power-Pole anchor will stop and hold a 4500lb, 28’ boat. With one Power-Pole anchor your boat will stop quickly but wind and water current will determine which way the bow of the boat will face. You will not spin in circles unless you are in the eye of a hurricane!

With two PP anchors you have total boat control and can position the bow of the boat in any direction despite the wind and the current direction.

• CM 1 & 2 refers to C-Monster Control System, our dedicated wireless marine protocol.
• CM1 anchors operate on a 400 Mghz signal. CM2 anchors operate on a stronger 900 Mghz signal which increases the range and response time from the wireless controllers.
• CM2 also features two-way communications between the pump and wireless controllers. This results in confirmation of any button push between the pump and the controllers.
• CM1 and CM2 pumps and controllers are NOT compatible with each other because they operate on different frequencies.
• All CM2 model Power-Pole anchors feature heavy-duty hydraulic hoses and fittings built for marine use.

When stalking fish in shallow water you need to be extremely stealthy. Power-Pole anchors are designed to be swift. silent. secure.

When you are deeper than 10ft of water you can use other methods to hold a boat in position.

Also, keep in mind, the deeper you anchor a boat, the greater the forces on the transom and the heavier the unit would need to be.

We believe 10ft is the maximum for strength and accuracy.

All of our hydraulic anchors utilize the same technology. The main differences between anchor models are the hydraulic pump, size, color options and warranty. Take a closer look.

Depending on your fishing depth, you need a Power-Pole or a GPS lock trolling motor.

In shallow water a Power-Pole anchor will quietly hold you in place without making noise, using battery power or mucking up the bottom, spooking the fish.

A Power-Pole anchor also allows you precise bow control and allows you to fish in any wind direction.

When using a trolling motor to lock a boat, the trolling motor will do it’s best to hold the bow into the wind or current, sometimes pointing the back of the boat to the fishing spot.

This is OK for water deeper than 10ft but a major disadvantage in shallow water because the motor speed will constantly vary, resulting in unnecessary noise and bottom disturbance in shallow water. Also while you are locked in shallow water you are draining your trolling motor batteries.

• Weight on transom – Power-Pole is the lightest, only 28.69lbs for our 10ft Blade.
• Deployment method – Power-Pole uses an articulating arm spike deployment which allows the anchor to bend and twist without affecting deployment or retraction vs. a telescoping vertical deployment.
• Depth – Power-Pole has a maximum deployment of 10ft deep for the most effective stopping and holding vs. 12ft.
• Height clearance - Power-Pole features down and out of the way deployment which allows 360 degree casting without obstacle, allows adjustable deployment for low bridges and for getting into your garage vs. a fixed vertical obstruction.
• Hydro vs. Electric – Power-Pole hydraulics feature drive-off protection should you happen to leave the anchor deployed protecting the anchor and your transom vs. electric cable driven mechanism which does not.
• Maintenance and Service – Power-Pole maintenance is simple, rinse with hose after use, just like you rinse your boat and Power-Pole anchors are backed by the best service in the industry (read our customer reviews) vs. regularly deploying the entire Talon out of the water and spraying with lubricant.
• Availability of mounting options – Power-Pole anchors feature custom adapter plates for each boat model and motor combination for the best angle and least weight vs. a universal adapter plate with substantial additional weight.
• Accessories - Power-Pole offers foot switches, travel covers, drift paddle and down rigger for deep water fishing.
• Warranty – Power-Pole offers a 5-year warranty on Blade and Pro II models, and 3 years on the Sportsman II vs 5 years on all models.
• Repair - Power-Pole anchors can be repaired at any of our over 1500 nationwide dealer network facilities including over 300 Certified Warranty Centers vs. regional repair centers.
• Price – Power-Pole hydraulic anchors start at $1,299 to $1,999 vs $1,899 to $2,499.

The Micro anchor can stop and hold boats and kayaks up to 1500 lbs. (including boat, motor, gear and passengers)

Are you ever going to make a Power-Pole anchor deeper than 10ft?

No. In our research we have found to go deeper that 10ft would put too much stress on the anchor and cause a loss of stopping ability making the anchor less effective. And the additional weight can potentially diminish the performance of your boat.

When Power-Pole anchors are connected to your boat’s 12V battery there is no significant drain on the battery because power is only used to raise and lower the anchor, there is not a constant draw of power to hold your boat in position. Power-Pole anchors deliver up to 1200 cycles (raise and lower) per charge which is more than enough for any day on the water.

We have created over 85 custom adapter plates to accommodate all boat, motor or jack plate combinations. Our adapter plates are designed to be lightweight and strong for any Power-Pole anchor you choose.

Our Adapter Plates are designed to tuck in close to the motor to be less intrusive on the rear deck when using dual Power-Pole anchors. This design / angle also allows for a superior hold by increasing the distance between the two spikes when deployed. Resulting in a better, stronger hold in all fishing conditions.

We also offer adapter plates for pontoon boats in deck mount and pontoon brace mount. We even offer a bow mount adapter plate for your Micro Spike Driver unit so you can add an additional spike to the front of your boat for even more stability.

We do not offer a universal adapter plate. In order to accommodate all boat, motor and jack plate combinations a universal plate would be too bulky and significantly heavier which could significantly reduce your boat performance.

Depending your style of fishing some of our most popular accessories are wireless foot switches, travel covers, drift paddles, spike wraps and apparel.

Our C-Monster Control System is the advanced operating system built specifically for the marine industry that lets you control and customize all new Power-Pole products. It puts features in your Power-Pole anchor so you can fine-tune your boat for any conditions and your specific style of angling. The C-Monster app allows you to connect, control and customize the entire family of Power-Pole products.
