Power pole or Talon? I have to make a decision soon so I would like y'all's opinions.

Thanks!

Power pole. I just ordered a 10'er. Had an 8' for a good while with no problems.I like the ability to drop it down out of the way if you have people fishing the back of the boat. There are some pretty good youtube videos out there of the ruggedness of the p/p.

Power pole all the way for me. Great product and equally great customer service. I have no personal experience with the talon, but I know several people on this site that have had serious issues with them

For those with power pole, when it's not deployed how much higher is it then your outboard? I know the talon can pivot. I have to make sure I have no issue with the garage.


Thanks!

That brings up another question. 8 or 10, I don't think I would need more then 8 but are any of y'all unhappy you didn't get the 10? In other words do you actually use it that deep?

Thanks

I dont. Ive had the 8 for almost 4 years. Now before I got the ipilot trolling motor I thought about getting the 10. The only time I use it now is in 4ft or less, and mostly in the marsh when Im trying to keep my back end from swinging in a current. That being said, I was to buy a new one for the first time, I would probably get a 10

When my 8' wont catch its time to start anchoring off anyways...theres only been a couple times fishing big lake that i wish i would have had a 10' but when ive used it in toledo bend ive wanted it every time..if you dont have one yet go 10' and be done with it...you can stop it half way down to be able to clear low areas, its how I do with mine.

PowerPole. 100% all the way.

Tremendous warranty and customer support.

If you tear it up, like dragging up a boat ramp deployed down on a trailer and trash the spike....

Yep, they will send you a new spike no charge, no freight. Really.
