If you are a river kayak angler, trust me, once you go power pole you never go back

 

Facts.

 

Had the YakGadget system on my SS127 and it worked well for what it is, except in heavy current, where pulling the pole back up manually could be difficult.  PowerPole Micro is the deal for sure, never looked back.  I did just add an Anchor Wizard for front anchoring and in deep water, as the PPM isn't any good past about 5.5'.  5lb mushroom anchor for the AW.  Good luck!

A friend of mine just uses his tie-down strap tied around a rock as an anchor
