My version of the power pole

**siscokid** · 03-05-2019, 10:08 PM

Well I just can’t justify spending $4-$5000 on a set of power poles or Talons. I spent a weekend coming up with my own version. Their 12v, 5 amp and weigh in right at 60 lbs. Figuring the right angle and hinge was the biggest hurdle. Then came keeping the weight down but keeping it sturdy. I’ve got right at $225 in the pair. I think I could put a set together in a few hours now but this set took 2 full days and a lot of scrap. They should reach 10’.

I don’t know why these pictures show up sideways.

Very nice. Wish I had the time and patience to do something like that at that price point

Looks good. My problem is I seldom fish in water less than 12ft.

Great job! Wished I had the smarts and the patience to do that ! I very seldom fish water over 10’ couple of those would be very handy!
