I use my power pole all the time and this is GREAT advice. Thank you!!

Using a power pole simultaneously with a trolling motor is awesome. Because the wind or current will swing the bow down stream, I use the trolling motor to gently keep the bow where I want it, and the pole to stick the stern. I tend to use less trolling motor battery, while being able to position the boat to offer all anglers on board good casting lanes.

Great advice, but I will say, I do not follow any of this. I abuse the hell out of my poles. Not because I think you’re wrong, but because I just don’t pay attention. That being said, I’ve never had an issue, which is an attribute to how awesome their products are! Maybe on my next set I’ll follow these tips and see how it works!

Just bought my boat with two 8’ power poles in Oct 2021 and this is my first set. My boat is small at 18’-6” but im almost 400lbs, i usually fish in the back and let my friend control the front. On hard or rocky bottom’s those two poles will lift me and the boat up, i was surprised with the strength of these and with my size and weight in the back with full tank of gas and live well, batteries etc i hope these last a few years or really the life of the boat because this will be my last one.

What is your thoughts on putting 2 on a 22ft deep v that I talk out to siesta key Florida and go out on the sand bars. Would it be worth the money using it too anchor off with if I had 2? Thanks for the info

@turboss08 3 жыл бұрын

Yes! If you're going to spend the money, get two or don't buy any IMO.

So ............ should I install one or two of these power poles? Thx

@19ADAM80 3 жыл бұрын

Either with those or talons would it be best to use two of them so if you’re on a strong current it wouldn’t turn the boat around?

@CIASPY 2 жыл бұрын

Get dual it will hold positions down without turning around. If you get single unit then your boat probably spin around.

I seriously came here to figure out what those things were I see on bass boats; my assumption was completely off apparently because I thought they were like outriggers for trolling on bass boats 😂

@robertkirby3246 2 жыл бұрын

Does one power pole really work good? I mean in some lake conditions I could see severe movements taking place with only one. I’m not that knowledgeable about them. I do see some big bass boats with only one. I currently have my boat ( bay boat 19’ ) in the shop having two sportsman 2 installed. I don’t know but I thought two would hold it still. Again new to this, but look forward to using them

Do you need 2 power poles or is that a waste? My husband has a Nitro z9 and wants to get power poles.

@franciscotejeda1505 4 жыл бұрын

It's better because the wind wont swing your boat around

@tintdr Жыл бұрын

If he has a front mount trolling motor and is using it for fishing he can deny one pole and use the trolling motor to keep the nose where it needs to be on a low speed. If you are using them for docking and beaching more then fishing 2 is best

@robs.202 8 ай бұрын

Two are better to prevent boat oscillating and avoid running your trolling motor the entire time your anchored up. Arguably, if using spot lock on trolling motor to hold position, no real need to buy a power-pole. Eliminating noise of TM being on is helpful in shallow water applications.

Noticed you only have one power pole on your boat. How do you keep your boat from ocilating back in forth in strong winds with just one power pole?

Have any of you guys that own power poles ever have to add hydraulic oil to the reservoirs? My dealer told me i should never have to mess with the hydraulic oil in the reservoirs.

@jameslara5352 4 жыл бұрын

Is having 2 power poles better ?

@TheBigghunter01 2 жыл бұрын

If you have the money, absolutely. With 2 you can get away with a lot more because they are only working half as hard. Also, having 2 keeps your boat from spinning in changing winds
