[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 208275, member: 1523"] Looks like a really bad idea IMHO. The pole is 8' of aluminum, the bracket is held on with sheetmetal screws... Exactly what weight boat and what water conditions is this thing going to be used in? Seems to me that any wave action or wake is going to either bend the pole or damage the hull. It's not going to bite in gravel or other hard bottoms and I don't think it'll be very stealthy either. Eight foot pole in three foot of water means I have 4' or so up in the air. Might be good for a small punt in a mill pond but I don't see it being any better than two 10lb mushroom anchors. Jamie [/QUOTE]
