I appreciate all the advice I have been shopping around today for a power pole. I found one on tackle warehouse for a decent price but they dont have the bracket I need for my skeeter if you call JL marine 813-689-9932 or email sales@power-pole.com they will help you out with the bracket you need i sent them a cell phone pic of how my jack plate setup is and the guy called me back in about 5 min with the part number for me to order

My 2 cents worth: I live on the lake and for the last year anyone who came by my dock with either I would ask them about their choices. Talon people like their Talons and Power Pole owners liked theirs as well. What they ALL SAID was: Never have another boat without them!! Getting my first Power Pole installed next week!!!

Overall, I prefer an anchor and thirty feet of rope.

A Talon is NOT cheaper folks. You can not compare a Talon & Pro or Blade Series PP because these PP products are Powder Coated and a talon is anodized aluminum...
8' Talon - $1449.00 (anodized aluminum) + $210 (bracket) + 180.00 (tilt option) = $1839 + 1 hour installation ( 2 year warranty)
8' Power-Pole Sportsnan Series - $1296.00 (anodized aluminum) + 170.00 (bracket) = $1466 + 1 hour installation ( 3 year warranty + lifetime unconditional steak warranty I have had both and I like them both about the same. You can (fairly easily) install the Talon yourself. Also, the Talon has a 5 year warranty - not a 2 year warranty. http://www.minnkotamotors.com/products/shallow_water_anchor/talon.aspx

I get my new Power Poles on next week! Went with 8' Blades. I would get 10' like Cody had last year, but would get sick of scrapping bridges and power lines.

I have not owned the PP but I sure like my Talon. Simple easy and I installed it myself and if I want to remove it, it is very easy to take off with no fluids to drain or lines to plug. I guess it is like anything else it is what every you like the most and the price/warranty. I just like things that are simple and that I can work on, so I do not have to take it in if something goes wrong and with electric you never have to worry about fluid levels or anything other than a fuse most of the time.Anyhow both serve a purpose.

Power Poles. They look better than the gutters too.
