I've had the Talon for 2 years and am very pleased with it.

Do any of the Talon owners fish with a back seater? Seems like it would be in the way of casting. I fish Pro-Am Events and never had one complain. Actually when they are up they protect my Cowling from getting beat up. If you want them out of the way for someone in the back you can add the Tilt Bracket and they are totally out of the way and not dragging the anchore.  Is the Talon compatible with the ZX190? Skeeter doesn't offer it as an option new.

You can install them on any boat. Either Jackplate Bracket or Sandwich BRacket.

I too have been thinking about adding Talon or PP. I live on Lake Palestine and for the last year everytime someone came by fishing my brush loaded dock I'd ask them about these. PP people love theirs and Talon owners love theirs also. PP seem to out number Talons 8-10 to 1. Some of this due to length of time on market. One thing EVERYONE had in common is that EVERY boat from now on will have one......or two!!!

I have a Talon and happy with it so far. My buddy has this happen to his PP last weekend. BUT the rest of the story - he called PP first thing Monday morning and they are shipping him a new bracket and hardware to fix it at zero cost to him. Needless to say, they have his business from now on. Service like that says a lot for a company.

Many of my boats have had PowerPoles and they and the people behind them are awesome!

Doug,
It appears that the Talon install has blocked your ladder. Is that true?

It's still there and yes it will have more obstructions to climb over but I don't plan on using it either but if I do it's still there and can be used to get back in the boat.

Don't have any experience with the Talon, but love my PP and their customer service is awesome. Had an older model and a couple parts needed replaced and it was no problem, even out of warranty. Heard they will replace a splintered pole, too. If I ever need another, I will get another PP.

Just got my PP installed last week..WOW!! Will never be without one again. Have been fishing in high winds where before would have called it quits!! I only have one at this point but might be saving for a second PP. You learn real quick how to position boat with the winds at your back. Power Poles and trolling motors 2 of the greatest inventions in bass fishing...and CATCHING!!
