Definitely interested to see the price. Power Pole is pretty expensive and if this is more competitive, they may have to re-think their business model!

From Minn-Kota's website ...
Built in the tradition of Minn Kotas legendary reputation for durability, Talon is designed to endure years of frequent use. Made of marine-grade extruded anodized aluminum, Talon can withstand a harsh, corrosive saltwater environment as well as the pounding waves of a freshwater river or lake. Additionally, the indestructible spike, made with fiberglass reinforced composite material, is guaranteed for life.
Talon comes with a comprehensive 2-year warranty and lifetime guarantee on the spike. It is available with either a six-foot, four-inch or eight-foot, four-inch spike and choice of a black or white motor cover. The manufacturers suggested retail prices for Talon are $1,299 with a six-foot, four-inch spike and $1,449 with an eight-foot, four-inch spike. All models can be used in freshwater or saltwater and come standard with two wireless remote controls. Talon will be available to consumers this fall.

Looks like a winner to me, and priced much better than a Power Pole.
I like that it has a quick disconnect feature on it, and they claim it will not take up space like a Power Pole does with all it's hydraulic equipments.
This may be the end of Power Pole. You know Minn Kota will be around in 10 years and has a great reputation in the fishing industry.

Was getting a power pole, waiting on this now, the quick connect bracket would be nice, plus I like the fact it goes straight down and not down and back. hurry up I need one.

I'll be interested to hear the reviews once they're out. If they're dependable and durable, they could put another pole design in the dark ages.

Finally someone came out with something new and updated. I'm glad I didn't get a Power Pole now. I have learned never buy the first product to enter the market....wait until someone tweaks the design and makes it better!

Very interesting concept. No hydraulics. The unit will beep, if still deployed, when you start your outboard. Has a rough water mode too.
I wonder if it can be mounted on a jackplate?
