I just bought a set of used 12' Talons that work well and are very quiet....except one only extends to 8'. When I got the talons, I also received some "extra parts" that appear to be the clips that hold each stage in the retracted position. The previous owner said that if they won't deploy, it most likely means these clips need changed. Does anybody know of a video, or instructions on how to do this? I have searched and I can't find anything on it.
After the first two stages go down, it just stops and clicks like the other one does when it hits the bottom. When I retract the talon, the spike goes in smoothly, and then the second stage vibrates quite a bit when retracting (I notice this is in the laid down position, but didn't feel it on the water yesterday).
To be honest, I fish mostly in shallow places...so 12' is probably overkill anyway. I used them yesterday, and even with the one pole not working, absolutely loved them...however, I would like them both to work like they should.
Thanks for any help.
