I just use a $1.00 length of rope and tie to a stump. Has worked well for the last 30 years. Come on man ... I know you are dieing to go out and spend $4000 on a couple of new Blades.  In all seriousness though, I was wishing I had them today. We were fishing the back of a cove and getting blown around by the wind. Those Blades would have really helped me pick it apart. Im still not a believer that you fish.

He got to see a guy loose a stud in the first 5 minutes and on catch one in the last 5seconds of the 4th quarter. :good times:

This is what sold me on the Power Poles. Not saying their better than your Talons but you have to admit, that's pretty impressive! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t02D0EfMyR8

looks like more damage than just P/P look at your hull in the port corner.

I don't really see how not having washers on the bolts could in any way cause the bracket to break, a loose bolt maybe but I don't think a washer on the head of the bolt would matter much. A large flat washer would spread the load but the bracket broke too far from the bolt.
