LOWRANCE SOUTH AFRICA Lowrance Issue 18 | Página 5
The traditional method of slipping an
old-school anchor over the side works,
but that technique is noisy, time-
consuming and not exact. It can also
damage sensitive underwater habitats.
And using the “anchor feature”
on trolling motors causes constant
turbulence in the water, and is noisy
too! Power-Pole anchors will allow you
to quickly — and quietly — keep boats
stationary in order to cast to wary fish.
Power-Pole anchors are made to work
in water no deeper than 10 or 8 foot,
and they can be mounted on boats
measuring up to 28 foot and weighing
up to two tons. They are perfectly
suited to bass anglers.
The Power-Pole system uses a hinged
lightweight metal arm that extends
down and away from a boat’s transom.
A hydraulic pump drives the integrated
fiberglass spike into the bottom to hold
the boat in place. The spike can hold
place in any kind of bottom, and it’s
also gentle on the environment. Added
to that is the fact that the spike is
virtually indestructible! It can stand up
to the harshest conditions. And Power-
Pole put their money where their mouth
is, with their unconditional LIFETIME
WARRANTY on the Everflex spike!
There are many different ways of operating Power-Pole
anchors... they are controlled wirelessly with the use of a
remote, and they also link via Bluetooth to your Lowrance
unit. They will work with either HDS or Elite Ti units - all
Power-Pole functions can be accessed directly from your
Lowrance screen. You never have to take your eyes off
your Lowrance, so you’ll never miss that perfect fish arch!
Spot the fish, and immediately deploy your Power-Pole
anchor!
There is also the option to purchase an additional wireless
footpad switch kit.
