Power-Pole’s Ultra-lite Stake-out Pole Cuts Weight Without Sacrificing Strength

Power-Pole anchor systems are on almost every shallow-water tournament boat. Thanks to their Micro anchor, their systems are now on most tournament kayaks, too. This year, they’ve added the Ultra-lite stakeout pole weighing considerably less than their heavy-duty stake. Using Power-Pole’s Hollowcore technology the tubular pole can still hold 1500 pounds. A wide handle at one end drives the sharp point at the other into the sand or mud. Remove the handle, and there is a ¼ 20 threaded bolt to mount a camera. The pole includes a six-foot, 3/8-inch dock line to secure the kayak to the pole. The Ultra-lite is available in six and eight-foot lengths and works with the Micro anchor system.

“Thank God my dad wasn’t a podiatrist,” Ric jokes about following in the footsteps of a famous outdoor writer. After graduating from Radford University and serving two years in Russia with the Peace Corps, Ric returned to Virginia Beach and started writing for The Fisherman magazine, where his dad was editor. When the kayak fishing scene exploded, Ric was among the first to get onboard. His 2007 book, The Complete Kayak Fisherman is one of the first how-to books to introduce anglers to paddle fishing. In 2010, Ric took on the role of editor at Kayak Angler magazine where he covered the latest trends in kayak fishing tactics, tackle, gear and destinations. A ravenous angler, Ric fishes from the mountain to the sea chasing everything from smallmouth bass to striped bass.
