powerpole without a doubt, I would be po'd every time I had to take the talons off or adjust to get under bridges, in my garage, etc.. Plus they r top heavy. I did all the research when I got my dual PP's. Was an easy choice. I love mine and wouldnt trade them for nuthin!

Look at the Elite & Tour guys, there are lots of them sponsored by Minnkota with free trolling motors and battery chargers yet they still run Power-Poles because they are best.
The reason the Minn Kota guys in the Elites run PP, is because they are given to them for FREE! So of course they are going to run them. Plus PP is a major sponsor of BASS. Come on now, don't you thInk Minn Kota will give the guys running their other products I.e. TM & Chargers free Talons if the fisherman wanted them.. Uh Yes.. 95% of pros and fisherman want the best, so they get the Power-Pole, the best!

Just wait until that Power Pole pump fails with it deployed down. You have to jump through hoops to get the thing pulled up so you can get back to the ramp. With the Talon's, all you have to do is turn a wrench on top of the unit to pull the spike up. And also, you CAN lower the Talons so that they will fit in the garage. I wish people would get more informed and give out CORRECT information. Especially people who are sponsored by a company and INCORRECTLY talk bad about competitors. If you knew the product all you needed was to pull one line of the pump, that releives the pressure then just pull it up and tie it up. I give correct info bud, since I worked at a #1 boat dealership for over a year, and had alot of questions I had to have answers. I also know a few guys who ran them, untill they lost them in lakes or highways.. Then they started loosing stakes from the inside.. And I am sponsored by Power-Pole, so what.. Just giving Facts!

We knew the product. Pulled the line and it still wouldn't come up. Turns out, the piston was bent, so there is no way that the thing was coming up, regardless of what we would have done to it. Bent piston = pull the whole thing off of the mount and put it on the back deck. Bent piston also = BIG MONEY TO FIX. You don't give correct info if you tell people "You can't lower Talons unless you take em off..." That's false. The quick release handles allow you to adjust the Talons vertically. And when you keep throwing out information about them falling off, you're talking about past history. Those issues have been fixed a long time ago. Why do you refuse to recognize that ?? So YES YOU DO GIVE FALSE INFO CODY MALONE. People do not like salesman that bash the competition. It makes them think that the basher is either hiding something or trying to make up for having an inferior product. Your product should be able to stand on IT'S own merits. Sell it based on that.

I haven't bashed any product.. Just stating facts, and their problems were not to long ago, they have only been out a little over a year..
The Power-Pole is by far the best choice regardless..

About these "facts" that you are stating. You said that you have to take the talon off in order to lower it ? You still saying that is a "fact" ???

You didn't have correct info on lowering a Talon. Any time you want to walk across the field back of DSM I will show you a Talon can be raised and lowered without taking it off.

If you are always right,Good for you There it is. A backhanded apology if I've ever seen one. Why not just be a man and admit you were wrong instead of droning on and on about someone else always being right, sue me, etc .... ??? A simple, "I was wrong" will suffice. The other stuff is just nonsense. Geez dude, come on.
