Good review buddy thanks for sharing!

Nice information! Love the video

Im just waiting for a competitor to hopefully come out before the Spring to bring the price down a little. Im surprised Minnkota hasnt made a smaller version of the Talon or anybody else. $599 without the pole is pretty pricey, but my 5 pound anchor drags too much in soft sand and my biggest pain of kayak fishing is simply staying in the same spot so im probably gonna buy one.

Thanks for the review. I was looking at getting a power pole but it cost $600 . Have you guys look into the Bernie river stick ? It's a manual pole . Same concept at the power pole

I'm about to send my second one back in less than a year. I wish they would make these where they work as intended EVERY TIME. Mine froze up yesterday while I was trying to do a video in high wind. Very disappointing.

I have a question about the Micro anchors. Really enjoyed your video showing the inside components of the anchor. Between my brother and I, we have had to warranty about 6 of these micro anchors with similar issues. Most of the problems was with water entering into the unit and causing electrical problems. I have mine on a 17ft boat and I think when I go in reverse, the engine forces water up into the black plastic cover, which has the lip on the back side. I realized this looked like the issue and wondered why they didn't make it sealed there. It was hard to tell in your video and I cant find any old pics online of how the old design was. But was there a rubber gasket at all under the top cover to protect the circuit board? Not sure if you have seen but they just came out with a NEW TOP DESIGN which I was told a few weeks ago that this should fix the problems. They have some photos on their website showing the new design and construction parts listed! It also says that it is now rated IP 68 Environmental Resistance (1-2 meter saltwater submersion). I just received my new micro anchor in last week and I am hoping this one will last me a long time now. I love the anchor when it does work lol Thanks!

Just bought mine and took it out for the first time, while out in the water was working great in came in to shore for a quick break and boom it no longer goes up or down but battery fully charge all lights working just wont go up or down??? Any suggestions or help ???

The power pole micro is best used when not around water I have found lol

I want one for my jon boat but i guess i would wait until newer version comes out.

About to add a micro to my kayak, thanks for all the info! Do you have any experience with the power pole micro battery? I'd like to go that route rather than adding a second battery to my kayak (already have one for the lowrance) but I've seen really mixed reviews online about them.

3 words... Bernies River Stick

I'm going on my 3rd one. If this one has problems, I will NEVER buy another one of their products. I've been using an anchor, and its easy and NEVER fails...lol!

What stick do you use with your power pole?

Bro! Am i seeing things?! Do you have an extra thumb? Good video by the way... I’ve read micro power poles have a ton of issues and now seeing this video makes me NOT want to get one.

I fish saltwater 4-5 days a week I have had 6 micro power poles my problem is always the plug and where it goes into the unit corrodes and I have tried packing it with dielectric grease nothing works with the saltwater. I am buying Another new unit this week because I cant stand not being able to drop anchor from the bow while I’m fly fishing tailing reds. I will say their warranty is awesome I have had them send me 3 new units in one year no questions asked overnighted next day to my house

I want one but now not 100% sure

The first thing you have to accept with an automated anchor pole is that what you are asking this device to do a rather difficult task. Lots of forces to deal. The environment is also very adverse. And if the thing does not work perfect every single time you hit that button, then its a piece of crap. Its funny how other gear like fishing rods, manual anchor poles, nets, and so forth, are considered consumable items, but somehow that does not apply to this product. Well, it does. Automated anchor poles are also consumable items with a limited lifetime and amount of use after which the product is spent. With Power Pole specifically, I would not consider buying one of their anchor products as an exchange of monies for goods. Rather, you are hiring them to provide you a service for two years. If practically anything goes wrong they will overnight you the parts to make it right with virtually no questions asked. Rest assured, this thing will break. They all break. Talon, Blade, Pro Series, Micro, whatever. All of them break with normal usage. They also break with no usage. There is no way to keep them from breaking. Replacement parts are ridiculously expensive. I think the PP hydraulic units alone are like $850, and they only last about 2 years. Your warranty replacement will be a refurb, so that one will last one year. It is what it is. If you want the convenience of an automated anchor pole, then you must pay for that convenience as an ongoing service fee. Otherwise, don't get one at all. This product will not last anywhere near the lifetime of the boat. Keep that in mind when you make your decision to drill into a transom or deck.
