Minn Kota Talon Anchoring System Takes Pole Anchoring To A New Level

By Mike Relahs


Minn Kota, the respected trolling motor producer based in the mid-west (Minnesota-North Dakota), has launched a new and improved shallow water pole anchor that is a step above existing products in the class. Compared to competing products, the Minn Kota Talon anchoring system has an electro-mechanical, not hydraulic, design. This is a clear differentiator because it makes the MK product easier to install, lighter, more silent, more durable, faster to deploy or retrieve as well as giving the unit stronger anchor holding power. The Cabelas Talon anchoring system is provided with complete product warranty and guarantee.

Shallow water anglers will be familiar with pole anchors. They have been marketed for many years now. Thousands of systems have been purchased by satisfied anglers around the globe. They are a well-proven product based on a solid concept that has been tried and tested. Overall, the MK product claims superior performance compared to existing competitors.

The MK pole anchor permits anglers to silently and quickly anchor exactly where the fish are positioned, without in any way spooking them. All this can be achieved without a dirty anchor constantly messing up the interior of the boat. Bottom line, anglers can fish more efficiently.

The MK anchor product provides new capabilities not supplied with other pole anchors. Perhaps the most important new feature is the automatic Up-Down Pole control capability. This is a rapid one-touch button press action that initiates a totally automatic start-to-end deployment routine. It avoids any need to continuously hold a button until the pole anchor is fully deployed.

Retrieving or stowing the anchor is equally simple. One-touch of a button brings the anchor up. The angler can concentrate on other priorities for the handful of seconds it takes for the anchor to stow. The process is easy, simple and uncomplicated and can be operated from a fixed control panel or a pocket-sized remote wireless pad.

Importantly, the product provides a solid and secure holding power, the most powerful holding force in its class. The exclusive auto drive feature drives the pole into the bottom using a trio of successive drives. Each drive is powered by a stronger force. The aim of this three-hit process is to drive the pole deeper with more grip than any competing product.

When current and breeze strengthen, the MK product has a Rough Water mode. Using this one-touch facility, anglers can activate to repeat the three-hit drive process at ten-second intervals. This drives the pole deeper, providing an even stronger holding power.

Given its avoidance of hydraulics, Minn Kota Talon anchoring system is easier and less expensive to install. It has a minimal footprint and requires less space overall. Its versatility of movement, both vertically and front-back tilt (up to 30 degrees), allows mounting on any boat configuration without need for modifications. Leading outdoor outfitter Cabelas can supply you with trolling motors Talon anchoring system and much more.
