    The talons will sit lower on the boat but will have more weight overall. The nice thing about the talons is you can also purchase the tilt brackets and its a non event all together.

    well played...lol and even though not a Power Pole item, Tilt brackets for Powerpoles are available in the aftermarket making height/clearance a non issue on them as well. Bassman25 will be happy to help you with the lowest pricing on talons and id be happy to give you the best price on Power Poles.

    Well played but 10 ft power poles could be light as a feather but they're still going to set taller on the boat than a 12 ft Talon. If you might have clearance issues with height Talons will be more compact...so to answer the actual question a 10 ft power poles sticks up higher than a 12 ft Talon.

    Which is exactly what I have been trying to reach out to you about. I started a post asking for you to PM me because I can’t get you on the phone. I’ve left messages on the recording, with the female receptionist, and messages on the website. My Gen 2 Tilt brackets have oxidized very badly and are looking rough. I was wondering if you have had this issue before?

    You must be calling the wrong number or not leaving VM.. If you do not leave VM I wont know who to call.. I have also sent you a PM to make sure you have the correct contact number.

    In addition, If your shopping for Power Poles give us a shot. We will beat any authorized dealers prices.
