Personally I can't afford a power pole, but I love the concept and I was doing some research on some cheaper manual alternatives...

I found 3 similiar style anchors:

1)Stay-put

2)wang anchor

3)Stick-it

Does anybody use these or know anybody that does? Do they work good in windy scenerios?

I have a 18 ft Shoalwater so its pretty light so it should be able to hold pretty good...


Thanks fellas

I use a stake-out-stick and have used it in 30 mph winds on my 20' boat and have never had it come loose.

We use the 7' Stick-It on our Majek 16 and it works great for us.

[Icatchanadda]

Awesome, thanks. Ill have to look at the stake out stick to...

heeman, do you have the stick by itself then tie it cleat , or do you have the mounting set up  on you boat?

[heeman]

The Stick-It comes with (2) ropes a short one and a longer one.  We typically use the longer one tied to a bow cleat and the Stick-It then goes into the bottom, it holds really well.

We have the Stick-It mounting clips mounted to the boat so the Stick-It is alway secure when we are running.

I've used a 10' PVC pipe as an anchor and never had any problems

A guide I go with periodically uses a stake out stick on his 25' Haynie in Baffin Bay. Have never had a problem with to my knowledge.

my bro just bought the stick it pole and that thing works good he has a 21ft majek rfl and sunday it held the boat in a stiff wind just fine .i have a stiffy for my kayak and the stick it pole being a little thinner was easier to stick in hard sand.

[Darth Wader]

Stiffy pole

[reeltime]

stake-out stick or a stiffy pole will work well. i use the 6ft stake-out-stick on my yak works welland i have a homemade one two.

[meatetarian]

I use the 8' Stick-It.....works good for me.

[Icatchanadda]

Thanks for all the advice I will look around some more and hopefully get one by this weekends trip

i've seen the "stick it" anchor here in laguna heights, (port isabel) at bayside marine.  it comes with two ropes and the clips as someone mentioned before.  they want 89 plus tax for it, 8 footer.  they also have  "the brake" sold seperatly, the whole package runs about 125 plus tax. 
i am getting ready to buy me one or make one, haven't decided yet. i want to be able to stop when i get a fish on so i don't loose so much drift while taking the fish off etc.
