Default Powerpole or Talon?
Looking to buy one soon but didn't know which is better. Probably gonna go with an 8ft because I'll also have the ipilot link for deeper water. Will be put on my 22ft Xpress. Any suggestions?

I currently own a Talon bought it last year wish I went power pole

It's loud

It get stuck easy when current is pushing against it

Does not hold as well

Did I mention very loud

Yes it's cheaper I know but don't make the same mistake

Well looks like its a powerpole for me. I'm smart enough to learn from other peoples mistakes. I'm looking at the 8ft Sportsman.

My buddy had a Talon on the boat he bought, fished with it less than 2 months and switched to a PowerPole…said the Talon was junk when I was asking the same question as you.
