Five Must-Have Power-Pole Shallow Water Anchor Accessories

If you own a Power-Pole Shallow Water Anchor, you understand its value on the water. It keeps you anchored securely in shallow water, whether an angler seeking a swift and silent approach to target your next catch or a recreational boater looking to secure your vessel while you enjoy the sun. No matter your usage, there are a few Power-Pole Accessories that every angler and user should have. Let's take a look!

Cover/Straps

A Power-Pole is an investment, so why not protect them with the proper Power-Pole Anchor Cover while on the road to and from the lake? These covers are designed specifically for each Power-Pole with options available for 4ft, 6ft, and 8ft Pro Series II and Sportsman II anchors and 8ft and 10ft BLADE anchors. Each cover is constructed of durable neoprene, which provides an easy slip-on design that will withstand the harsh environments on the road, from dirt, debris, and UV rays to protect your anchor. Installing these covers is easy; unzip the cover, slide it onto the anchor, zip it, and secure the velcro strap along the stern bracket, and your cover is ready for the road.

Additionally, you can purchase the Power-Pole Travel Strap if you're headed on a long road trip or your local roads are too bumpy. This velcro strap will keep your Power-Pole Everflex Spike from experiencing unnecessary vibration by keeping it snug against the Power-Pole. It's a simple yet handy accessory that provides peace of mind and protects your Power-Pole from excess vibration. These Travel Straps will fit all models of Power-Pole anchors.

Foot Controls

Utilize your Power-Pole's swift, silent, and secure anchoring abilities with hands-free control provided by the Wireless Foot Switch. A must-have for all anglers, this foot switch gives you complete control of your Power-Pole while fighting fish when your hands aren't free. With the tap of a button, you can quickly deploy and retract your poles. These wireless switches are easily installed anywhere throughout your vessel with no additional wiring or hassle. It is ideal for quick access at the boat's bow around your trolling motor foot pedal. The Power-Pole Wireless Foot Switch is available for both CM1 and CM2-powered Power-Pole units to ensure everyone is equipped with the proper accessories.

Spare Remote/Dash Switch

Sticking with remotes, always ensure you have a Power-Pole Wireless Remote Control Transmitter Fob or an Anchor Surface Mount Dash Switch nearby. These remotes will come in handy throughout the day, whether you're behind the console, up at the bow, or in the truck launching your boat. All Power-Pole shallow water anchors will include the wireless remote and dash switch right out of the box; however, having a spare will increase your efficiency on the water if a remote is lost, forgotten, or damaged. Power-Pole ONE Pump Dual Blade Anchor Kit users can also purchase an additional ONE Pump Remote with Cradle.

Drift Paddles

If you're an angler who fishes a lot of open water, whether it's the Great Lakes, offshore, or any body of water you're spending time away from the bank, the Power-Pole Drift Paddles are for you. The drift paddles assist anglers while they're drift fishing by deploying into the water to slow the vessel down, providing control and proper positioning that drift socks of old cannot achieve. When drifting a flat or any offshore structure and letting the wind set the speed, deploying the drift paddles either partially down or fully down will slow your speed and ensure you're drifting in a consistent direction. These paddles install easily onto any 8' or 10' Power-Pole. These drift paddles utilize marine-grade polymers that are durable enough to handle the elements in freshwater and saltwater environments. If you want to utilize your Power-Poles even when they can't anchor your vessel, the Power-Pole Drift Paddles are for you.

Hydraulic Fluid

If you own a Power-Pole, you'll need hydraulic fluid to ensure the proper operation of your Power-Pole shallow water anchor. Every boater and angler should have a bottle of Green Marine ISO-32 Hydraulic Fluid nearby, as it will come in handy for routine maintenance or if you need to top off your hydraulic fluid reservoir in a pinch. Green Marine ISO-32 Hydraulic Fluid is Power-Pole's recommended and trusted choice, explicitly designed to work in rugged marine systems such as Power-Pole. 100% biodegradable and made from American-grown renewable seed oils, there is no better option for ensuring your hydraulic anchor's clean, robust operation than Green Marine ISO-32 Hydraulic Fluid.
