All the above is debunked information...

I am hoping that a trolling motor company finally figures out that there needs to be a motor that will spotlock at the bow and a second fixed trolling motor mounted sideways on the back that only has forward and reverse making the back of your boat move left or right to keep the rear of the boat from swinging around in wind and sometimes current. It would be mounted on the main engine shaft above the propeller and would be out of the water while on plane. I have talked about this for years and I have received a lot of blank looks. But the same people talk about the importance of boat positioning. Now that there is Livescope imagine being able to lock your boat down in 40 feet of water, pointed directly at that submerged standing timber, and not ever have the back end start swinging around. We are still in the dark ages when it comes to boat control... but will JL Marine save us?
WHY is this a top secret, CIA classified material? You're building a trolling motor not another Manhattan Project......
Some of it is correct, or at least a little.
I used one fishing not long ago. The thing was completely silent (when I say this I mean you had to check it was on)and we snuck up on fish we never would have using my minn kota. When they send out the first units I hope to get my hands on one as its one of those things that truly gives you an advantage

Certainly respect what you can or cannot speak to but like many, I’m in the market for a spot lock capable unit and am very close to a decision on the MG Tour Pro for the simple reason it will function as a standard cable steer even if the technology stuff fails. Reading the trolling motor forum here would almost convince you NOT to buy one and I’m hopeful the MG is an exception.
I’m very interested in the PowerPole TM and would be willing to wait on it; however, if it’s way above the $3k price point, it’s likely out of reach for me and maybe others. At any point it’s permissible to speak to a general price point, that would help a lot of us hold for it or move on to what is in our price range.
Such a waste of time.
The Charge is too expensive for what it does and if it is indicative of the Power Pole business model, most of us aren't gonna be able to afford their trolling motor either. COVID might have set them back on their project, but it sure as heck set plenty of us back too.
IF Power Pole has a trolling motor it would be smart to come out with a model that can offer spot lock at around $1,000 while also having a high end "game changer" model. It would sell better than beer and pretty much corner the market. Instead it's gonna have some feature like being "super quiet" even though people are running three loud transducers all at once, plus live well pumps, a Hydrowave, a stereo, and who knows what else. Or Titanium bits and pieces that pretty much none of us care about. I have a decades old Motor Guide that still works fine. Don't need brushless, don't need Titanium, don't need whisper quiet.

If I knew I would certainly tell you trust me, price point hasnt been discussed at all.
sure do sell a ton of "something thats to expensive for what it does". People said the same about a 16 dollar chatterbait but if your not throwing one your missing out, and they have sold a $hitload of them. Technology certinly isn't for everyone and nobody is forcing you to buy. Hell Charger has ass heaters in there seats.. needed on a bass boat , nope. Nice to have on a brisk morning? Yup. Is there people out there willing to pay for it. Yup...
