Fish with a guy that has one

then fish with a guy that has two, World of a difference. if you dont have the money for two, then dont go in debt for it!!! but they work!

if the wind is blowing, having two puts you at a distinct advantage if you are trying to stay in one place and face one particular direction.

OR HARD CURRENT

Installed one talon on my tin rig, all what the other guys state about having 2 of them is true EXCEPT one is better than none. I set the one and then use a little TM power to keep me on spot. I chose the talon over the power pole because I didn't want all the ancillary equipment in my boat and I prefer to shoot the rod straight down in lieu of angle arm.

Talon

[toledo freak]

one is better than none,two is definately better than one, and go power poles over talon

THEY FALL OFF!!! i know others on here heard and read the the talons were falling off!,

i think the hydraulic is a little more reliable

[RonnieF]

It seems like I read somewhere (and maybe i'm wrong) that the mud the gets inside when it retracts can mess it up. Hell, maybe that was just someone's concern. That was one factor.

draw back on talon is that they cant be lowerd to go under limbs , pier or a bridge power poles are the way to go

[oiltech09]

I had heard about them falling off and I am keeping an eye on mine. So far no loose hardware. I have also seen the pictures of busted or dissolved looking hyd. hose on the Power Poles. Talon makes a swivel bracket that allows you to rotate the Talon to go under low obstacles. I didn't install that on mine and so far that has not been an issue. Another reason I went with the talon is I didn't have the room inside for the hyd unit.

There were 10 times more Talons than PPs last week on Toledo. They cant be that bad. I'm going PP though, and it won't be long.

[trizzle]

I have two power poles and luv it.....i wouldnt cha nge anything

[oiltech09]

Kyle are going to put 2 PP's or one?

[Trent_B]

I plan on getting 2 in a few months and wasn't sure which brand (PP or Talon) until I seen this pic. It's pretty obvious why these Poles should hold this boat in place better than 2 Talons.

[Bada$$Bullet]

1 for now.

[KLSU]

Where am I wrong? Why doesn't power pole come out with a unit that instead of having a pole has a blade then you would not need 2(Maybe that is why )? Then the boat would be less likely to spin around in the wind. Maybe because of the force it would take to hold a boat in one direction with just one blade?

[hookem175]

No matter which you go with, you will eventually have problems with them. My choice is PP though.
