Finding A Good Used Power Pole For Sale Online

By Mike Relahs


It is not hard these days to find a used power pole for sale, and sports fishers will be happy to know that the internet has many in classified ad postings. This fairly recent innovation developed to 'catch more fish' is still being refined and perfected, and some of those who have earlier models are turning to the more recent designs. The ones being replaced end up as bargains online.

Also known as dig in anchors and shallow water anchors, the devices are raised and lowed by hydraulic pumps. They are easily raised and lowered, to allow a boat to be kept in one place despite the effects of currents and wind. When the fish move, it is easy to flip the switch and follow them to the next good fishing spot. Different models extend from four feet to twelve feet, although most of the ones for sale will be six or eight foot poles.

Benefits include less wear and tear on your back and a cleaner boat because you will not constantly be bringing in water, sand or mud, or weed from the bottom of the stream or lake bed. No rope to coil or tangle, no anchor on the floor to trip over, and hands free to handle your fishing pole are other bonuses.

One or more electric switches installed in the boat make it quick and easy to drop the pole or raise it, without having to have one or both hands free to handle a traditional anchor. Some models work off a remote control, which can be activated from anywhere in the boat. Designed for boats up to 23 feet long and up to 4500 pounds, these devices make it easy to concentrate on stalking and catching fish.

The device will hold a boat up to 4500 pounds and over twenty feet in length against wind and currents, eliminating the need to keep the motor running while trying to maneuver above a school of fish. Irksome delays of reeling in an anchor, which may be hung up on submerged trees or rocks, are all in the past. Easy to install, these anchors go just above the water line, under the transom or at the bow.

Created by a computer guru with mechanical engineering talents as well, the original concept of 1998 is constantly being improved. Before you go online to see what is listed in the ads, check the manufacturers sites for the features to be found in different models of shallow water or dig in anchors, which range from four to twelve feet in length. Newer ones even come in designer colors.

Checking the online classifieds for a used power pole can bring one of these sought-after devices into the affordable range of most dedicated sportsmen who prowl the flats and shallows. Easy to install and easy to operate, some models even have lifetime warranties. This will not apply to a second-hand unit, but it will show that such a device is well-constructed.
