    2018 Talons shipping yet?

    looking for price and availability

    I want a set of blue 12' tallons, foot pedal control, tilt brackets, quick release handles, and side mount brackets. And possibly some locking bolts, unless those wont do anything with the quick release handles?

    Are the 2018 12' Talons different than the 2017 12" Talons ? What are the differences ?

    The best I can remember they have a new more streamlined aerodynamic design and a built in work light. There might be more but i can't recall. here is a link about the 2018 Talon's. https://www.minnkotamotors.com/Shall...ors/New-Talon/

    Tackle Warehouse must have just got them in. They weren't there a few days ago when I checked, but they are now. Go wild boys. Too bad Minnkota stuff is excluded from the holiday sales these days

    Those look a lot better. The blue looks different though.

    I think it is a more naturally lit up picture rather than flooded with white light, the top looks the same but the bottom darker as lighting was lower

    Yea, it could be the pic. On the minnkota site it looks normal. Hopefully some sponsors start getting some and we can get a deal on them.

    I spoke with the Minn Kota Rep and he stated there was no difference in the 2017 - 2018 year model 12" Talons ? I order a new pair and they are scheduled for delivery today.

    Don't know who you spoke with. The 2018 Talons have bluetooth for updates and communication from the wireless remotes to the unit, they have a work light built into the top of the unit and they are a more aerodynamic design.
