Muskieman Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 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! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbouck Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Forget what it's called but they go down into the bottom and act as an anchor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryC Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Power Pole, Motorized pole which sticks to the bottom anchoring your position. Mostly used for Saltwater fishing on the flats. Clarence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskieman Posted November 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 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. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 A lot of bass anglers are using them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinnerbaitking Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 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 Richard http://www.foreandaf....com/pp-003.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Very popular now. Great for fishing docks or other shoreline structure, especailly when fishing wind blown shorelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
