of water and the bottom was fairly soft. As
soon as the pole hit the bottom I tapped on
the t-handle and pushed it another 12” into
the lake bottom. I honestly could have stayed
still in that spot for the rest of the day without
any problems. The anchor system held 100%
which allowed me to worry about fishing
the cover as opposed to trying to control my
boat in the wind. The only motion out of the
boat was an up and down motion from the
small incoming waves; otherwise the boat
was perfectly motionless. It took me about 2
minutes to realize that this product is perfect.
Many other times that day I pulled up on cover
and simply slid the pole in the brake system
and knew it would hold me exactly where I
wanted. When you’re not using the anchor
you simply pull it out of the brake system and
stow it away back on deck in the provided
clips; it really doesn’t get an simpler than that.
But needless to say; I was able to catch many
Bass that day because I was able to sit on the
cover indefinitely.
The pole is available in a 7’, 8’ or 10’ model
(or a smaller 5.5’ version for kayaks). With
the height of the installation on my boat I can
easily anchor in 5-1/2’ of water; that allows
for the mount height and also another 12”
into the lake bottom. The pin itself is made
of a highly flexible and durable reinforced
resin material which is built to last for many
years. My overall thoughts on this product; I
wish I would have found it years ago. There’s
so many gimmicks out there now-a-days and
I honestly wondered if this was one of them.
Believe me; it’s not. This product actually
exceeded all of my expectations.
It does exactly what Russ said it would do (and
better). So check out their website at www.
stickitanchorpins.com and do not hesitate to
call Russ if you have any questions. You might
think upon your first inspection of the website
that this is a salt water product but believe
me; its geared for all of us Bass fisherman
as well. This product has already upped my
game and it can do the same for you as well.
The 8’ kit with brake that I tested is available
off of their website for a mere $144.95. We
all spend hundreds each year in search of the
latest and greatest baits; this product will
certainly help you catch more Bass as well.
Give Russ a call at 941-815-6875 or email
him at [email protected] and tell
him that you read about his system in Bassin’
Magazine. He is even offering free shipping
for a limited time. My final grade on this
product is a DEFINITE A+.
