watching WFN

What is that bar or stick .. beside the outboard?

Looks to be about 5' tall usually on the right hand side , but this example has 'em on both sides.

 

It might be a stupid question and something I should recognize and or know about , I have no clue?

 

My inquiring mind wants to know.

 

Thanks gang!

Forget what it's called but they go down into the bottom and act as an anchor

Power Pole, Motorized pole which sticks to the bottom anchoring your position. Mostly used for Saltwater fishing on the flats.

Thanks Guys!!

 

I guess that it would stop the boat from drifting around, opposite to being tied off the end of an anchor cord.... So you would be "stapled" to the bottom....

 

I could see myself using that for Pike.. but I'll make 'em out of Hardwood dowel.

A lot of bass anglers are using them as well.

Down south when the Bass are on the Beds & they're sight fishing, they would put the Power Pole down but they found in wind & waves they would pivot on the one pole so a some of the Tournament guys put 2 on & it holds them still, I think they have 6' & maybe 8' poles

Very popular now. Great for fishing docks or other shoreline structure, especailly when fishing wind blown shorelines.

Seen a boat here with them at the launch. I asked what then heck is that? Like said. Anchors.Pretty cool idea.

A malfunction at 70mph would be interesting.
