Manual Shallow Water Anchors?

(1/5) > >>

Curt:
I would really like to have some kind of shallow water anchors on my boat.

But the reality of it is that there is no way I can afford a Talon or Power pole, even if it was used and discounted  (nope)

So in lieu of one of the electric/automatic units, I've been pondering on possibly considering a manual type of this setup.

I've done some looking around and found some different brands of this that range anywhere from quite acceptable and affordable, to a little ridiculous and overpriced.

Here are a few of the manual setups I've found, in no particular order:

Has anyone here had any experience with any of the manual styles of shallow water anchors?

I'm assuming that it's probably also something that could be made from miscellaneous parts with a little ingenuity.

There are a couple guys in one of the bass clubs I fish that use a manual one.  Its not any of those models you posted but they seem to like it.  One guy has a little trouble storing the pole when not in use, but he has a pretty small boat.  Ive looked at one guys a couple of times and his is mounted to his trolling motor mount, its a very clean setup and works well.  Only problem I've seen him struggle with is that on a windy day (we get them here in kansas ALOT), he tends to float around in a circle which can become a pain.

@Curt  Here is the website that one of the guys in our club purchased from: http://dig-in-anchors.com
