Powerpole or Talon?

Try this with a talon and see what happens.

I have a Talon. Works fine. Loud though. Will be the last one that I own. But for now its good.

Don't know by experience because they haven't seen the water "YET", but I just had my PowerPoles installed this past weekend. I got the 10' blades. I'll know next week just how awesome they perform.

Used my talon for a RLD just the other day. Didn't harm it at all.

I think this pp / talon debate is kind of like a ford vs chevy thing.

I know people with both with no issues

If the rods on the 10ft are longer couldn't you just put it in your 8ft and gain a little? Or is just the swing arm above the rod longer?

Power pole all the way for the reasons already stated.
Here is why I'll stick with them. I emailed customer support about a busted reservoir cap. I knew they sold a cap but I figured it was worth a shot to see if they would cover it under warranty. Not only did the response email simply contain a tracking number for the cap but the package arrived with a quart of green marine hydraulic oil too!!!

Now that is customer service. My power pole is an 08 by the way.

Want to throw this out there for everyone to know.

Stick-It Anchor pins has a no shipping sale going on right now, this is roughly a $30 saving.

For only $70 this is an awesome deal.

quick question: I finally got to use my PP for the first time last week. Couldn't be happier. Only question I have is how does one know how far to "stick it". The first time I tried it was at the landing and I apparently stuck it so deep, I had to rock the boat back and forth to get it up. No problems after that, but I'm just curious. I'm guessing that the depth finder has a lot to do with how far one can expect to stick it, but is there some other method to know how far down one has to stick it or just experiment until the amount of depth appears to halt the boats progress. Just looking for tips.

Depends on what size u have. If it's a 10ft. then if just the spike is in the water and the color portion is parallel to the water then your 5 ft deep. Then Gauge it as you go Down from there.
Or read your gps depth

You can adjust the up and down sensitivity depending on the type of bottom your sticking in and just double tap down and it will stop itself.

Didn't know that, but perhaps it is because I didn't read the instructions? thanks for the tip.

I know that feeling... we "men" are notorious for not reading directions :*****:... it is in our blood.

That is the reason the Talon gets some of its bad rap----HOOK UP THE GREEN WIRE, it's there for a reason. Any body?
