Pretty cool. Seems it just makes a cajun anchor from a push pole.

Why not install a rod holder to the backside of your transom and use your pushpole? Thats what I will do...thanks for the idea!

We have been experimenting in this area with a 10 foot model that has a steel tip on it for penetrating Oyster bars. We use a 5 footer for kayaks made by http://www.captdick.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

WHAT CHALK SAID!!!!!

THE GUY THAT HAD MY POLING PLATFORM MADE HAD SOMETHING SIMILAR BUILT INTO THE BACK BAR. I ASKED HIM WHAT IT WAS WHEN I BOUGHT THE BOAT, HE SAID IT WAS USED TO STAKE OUT THE BOAT AND THAT IT HAD ONLY BEEN USED ONCE (BROKE HIS $600 PUSH POLE).

I HOWEVER FIND IT TO BE A HANDY PLACE TO PUT THE FISH NET.

That is why we use the Mike Flowers MF Pushpole. Hard to break, inexpensive to replace.

I may give it a try using an 8 foot 1/2" SS grounding rod :smt004 but I'm thinking that mounting the sleeve on the trolling motor may be a better option :smt012 maybe I'll see this weekend :beer: :beer:
