Online classified advertising sites are great if you are looking for a used power pole for sale. Only those who are familiar with sports fishing in shallow water will know that this kind of outboard anchor is one of the most exciting innovations of recent years.

Also labeled dig in or shallow water anchors, power poles work on a simple concept – that an anchor that is mounted on the outside of a boat and operated with a switch that activates a hydraulic system of raising and lowering is much more efficient than using a traditional sort of anchor that you throw overboard and then must pull back in.

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.

A pole can be raised or lowered by means of one or more switches installed inboard, depending on how much convenience is desired. Remote controls can also be used to trigger a device from anywhere on the boat. The strong hydraulic pump raises or lowers the anchor in seconds, allowing the user to stalk fish, stop and go quickly while having both hands free to employ a fishing rod, and to anchor without splashes that scare the 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.

It is always nice to get a bargain, and finding a used power pole in the online classifieds can really make the day for a dedicated sports fisherman or woman. For those who like fishing the flats and shallows, these outboard anchors are great time and effort savers.
