    Question WHO HAS "CRAPPIE BRAKES" THAT MOUNT ON POWER POLES???


    Hello. I have zero interest in Crappie Brakes that have to be raised and lowered manually so there is zero chance I'm buying them. However, I'd love to hear the Pro's & Con's from either but I'm mainly wanting to know about people who have them on their Power Poles to know the wear and tear they put on Pumps & the Long Jevity of them in regards to maintenance. I'm not trying to buy a $2k problem but I'm tired of running over fish. You hear people talking about Crappie Brakes but there are no or extremely little "NON SPONSORED REAL OWNERS"sharing their longevity experiences. When they 1st came out they were virtually $3k now they are only $1,200 + Installation so I think I'm going to get them. It is so hard to get real info now because so many people are on Pro Staffs where they have to say all the good. I want to talk to real people. But 1st Concerns/Questions I have for actual owners:

    *How do they hold up on Deep Timber?
    *How do they effect the Pumps on the Power Poles with more weight?
    *Are there more heavy duty Power Pole Pumps needed?
    *Can they go forward & backward?
    *Would a you run it on a separate 100AH Lithium Battery?
    *Do you have to get rid of your Power Pole Paddles?
    *If you have had them 2 years would you buy them again?
    *Has it effected your Power Poles in a negative way?


    If you don't have them & want to share what others told you I respect that & enjoy the interaction but I'm not into he said/she said. I like I said/You said from experience & you stand by while aren't afraid to make your thoughts known.

    Hello BlueBall (Makes my fingers laugh typing that..) I'm looking at what you have to offer. now. I'm on your site and don't see what city or state you are in? Where are you located or are you shipping only? Going over your video now.
    (Edited: Also I have the Sportsman 2 Power Poles got any video with those or anyone using them with any model?)

    If you look at the bottom of their page you will see their Facebook link. It appears they are located in Camden TN (They should have their location on their website). Here is the link

    Thanks Grain. I don't have Ole FaceBook & try to avoid it so I wouldn't have known. I appreciate you looking out so now I know to buy from them while I get someone to install here. Sending it to my installer as we speak to see what he thinks.

    Jamey I appreciate you responding. Looking at the product they look SOLID! I'm excited to catch my 1st Crappie with them. Maybe it will help me catch more than the 1 or 2 per trip I'm use to catching.
