GEAR ALERT!
More new fishing boats than ever are being outfitted with remotely deployed shallow-water stern anchors. Originator of the product, popularized in the Florida Keys, was Power-Pole. Now, Mankato-based Minn Kota has introduced the Talon. Also deployed remotely, this stern electro-mechanical anchor can unfurl to more than 8 feet deep, and quickly hold anglers' boats where the fish are.
