Power-Pole Micro Anchor

February 4, 2017 by jim Leave a Comment

I was doing some research to see what was available for shallow water anchoring when I ran across the Power-Pole Micro Anchor. What caught my eye right away was the low price of $595. This price is not cheap, but out of what is available out there, it looks like it’s half the price of its competitor. Because I’m not here to reinvent the wheel I literally copied the info right from Power-Poles site.

Power- Pole Micro Anchor Overview

Power-Pole Micro Anchor hold Jon boats and small skiffs up to 1500 lbs (including passengers) Perfect for kayaks and paddle boards. Micro driver unit is easily-removable making storage or transfer to other vessels simple. Includes adjustable mounting bracket. Other mounting options available. Includes 15 ft power cable for 12v battery or if no on-board battery is available, add the Micro Battery Pak & Charger (sold separately) and go wherever adventure takes you.

Micro driver unit accommodates any 3/4″ spike. 8.5’ Micro Spike (sold separately) can remain in or be removed from the driver unit when moving between locations. Installation is a breeze for this extremely quiet and compact anchor system. With multiple mounting options, the Power-Pole Micro is the perfect fit for virtually any small craft.

Jims Thoughts

Not having to deal with rope and messy anchors is huge. Having this light system work if you mostly fish shallow waters (like me) is a plus.

What I don’t like and would like to find out from JL Marine is why they do not include the spike with the Anchor mount? The spike costs another $100 bucks. So out the door you looking at around $700. Thoughts?
