I have had Talons on 3 boats for the last 6 years. I really liked the no hydraulic fluid, 1 bracket for nearly all boats and the ease of install.
Well, after getting a new job at a boat dealer 5 months ago in the parts and accessories department I have had to receive and sell Talons, Power Poles and now Raptors. After carrying them to customers trucks I was amazed of the weight difference in both the anchors and especially the brackets. Then I met some of the Power Pole big wigs and was really impressed with them, their company and their customer service, so I decided I would try some blades. I got a sweet deal on them too. I only have been out fishing 1 time with my new blades but I can tell my hole shot (which wasn't bad with the Talons on my PII) is a little better. The remotes and much more responsive too. That was my big knock on the Talons, the remotes are very finicky.
I look forward to using them throughout a windy day during a tournament to reply gat a feel for them.
