When Kayak Fishing, you usually don't have a fancy trolling motor with spot lock holding you tight to a spot. When the wind OR current starts tossing you around like a sailboat, you need a good kayak anchor system! In this video, we talk about my personal setup for kayak fishing, including the low profile Anchor Wizard AND the Power-Pole Micro Anchor. I use both of these anchors on my boat, depending on the situation.
Hopefully, this video is helpful for you and your quest to find a solid anchor system. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE!

DIY hack for threading the chain links through the tire tube - spray the inside of the tube and the chain with WD-40 and the chain will slide through much easier.

Hey Jeff, have you heard of brush gripper anchors? I love that things man. you can anchor onto anything. Ill anchor onto weeds if i have nothing else and i dont move at all.

@aaanglers 4 жыл бұрын

I hadn't heard of those. I looked it up today and it looks solid! I use this set up to either pin myself to a spot or slowly move along the bank. I could see the brush gripper as a good alternative if I want to just hang out, or get off the kayak. Especially for the money.

Would pairing the anchor wizard with an anchor trolley be better for positioning? Also is there any way for a quick release in case of an emergency when using the anchor wizard?

@aaanglers 3 жыл бұрын

Wizard to trolley can cause some issues. The set up is just kind of funky. Some people put the wizard on the front, which as an option too. As for worst case quick release... It's a knife to the line lol. It's just paracord so you can replace it super cheap. I use drag chains, and I have never been caught in a bad situation, even on my rivers.

You need to paint that Hobie Power pole mount that white is ok but green and black would look better I think. Paint the whole thing green let it dry then make some tiger stripes with black.

Very nice. I am new to this all but it seems to me that so many people carry a lot of extra gear with them. Wouldn’t just an Anchor Wizard be enough by it self with out the extra weight of a power pole, plus extra chains?

I’m considering buying a Power Pole for my Hobie PA 14. I haven’t found a video anywhere that explains what the process would be if you’re power pole battery was to die while in the down (anchored) position. Have you had that issue and if so how did you retrieve the pole while anchored.

@aaanglers 2 жыл бұрын

There is a pull cord to flip the pole up

@youngbez9622 2 жыл бұрын

@@aaanglers Alright cool, so I saw that in the video. But how do I get the pole back into the unit while on the water. Let’s say it dies while anchored and I pull the emergency cord, I’ll have an 8ft pole sticking horizontally out of the back of my kayak. Is this one of those deals where it’s better to just get a spare battery and save myself the headache ?

Did you upgrade to the h rail mount? Just got the anchor wizard and was thinking I would put it on the h rail mounting plate so its closer to me and not clear at the front of the kayak however there aren't many videos doing this. If you have did you make a plastic plate to go between the h rail mount and the anchor wizard of is the mounting plate big enough to directly attach to anchor wizard?

@aaanglers 3 жыл бұрын

Paul has it and Anchor Wizard makes an adapter plate for it. Definitely the way to go!

I will never have a powerpole. I find that an anchor trolly and a push pole is lighter and much more useful. In current how are you supposed to control which direction your kayak is facing without a way to adjust where the pole is stuck? I also use the push pole to push around in the flats.

Am considering the Power Pole but concerned about wind...I fish a lot in Narraganset Bay in RI...it can get windy in the Bay...if I am facing away from shore...but the wind is coming off of the water...wouldnt it just turn me around? Would a stake out pole on an anchor trolley be more effective? Would appreciate anyone's thoughts.

@aaanglers 4 жыл бұрын

Power Pole on the rear of the boat WILL turn you around in the wind or current. You would need another one on the front, or a stake out on the trolley to pin you. Otherwise the stake on the trolley could be a good solution allowing you to reposition.
