If I was fishing out of a jon boat that money would be going towards a new boat.

There is a forum member that has one on his bass buster
Also another member that post here all the time that has a side imaging on his jon boat. I cant remember either of their names at the moment
But if it works for you go do it. Dont worry if other people would do it or not. If thats what would work for you do it

Who says I need a new boat? I asked a simple question. The question wasn't should I save money or not the question was would you do it. Thanks guys for your input

http://www.diginanchors.com/ http://www.wanganchor.com/shop-online/transom-system/ Here is a couple of options you could use and No I want pay $ 5000 for a set of power poles when I can mount a set of these on the back of my boat and if I only want to anchor in 8' or less of water the poles will fit in my rod lockers and when your not using them There not sticking up four foot above the transom in the way

When you say jon boat, I picture a 12 footer with a tiller motor on it. Your boat may be nicer or you may be more attached to it, I do not know. I would have a hard time dropping that kind of bank on an accessory like that on a jon boat.
