Bass and even muskie anglers increasingly are hanging Power-Poles on the transoms of their boats. Long used by flats fishermen in Florida and elsewhere to anchor their boats quickly, Power-Poles are becoming increasingly popular in Minnesota as well.

The consistent positions allow anglers sitting on known fish to cast thoroughly throughout an area, without concerns that their boats will move.
