Legends! Thanks for stopping by! The Stomp Switches are being installed this week - I'll write a comment or two about them here in a fortnight or so.

@cjlowflyer9885 Год назад

Excellent review. I have dual powerPoles and no thoughts of changing them but respect your thoughtful analysis of alternative and choice. Again, great review. Enjoyed watching.

@ByronTeaHill Год назад

Much appreciated!

@adlabyrinth 3 года назад

Love that boat ramp trick. Thanks for such a thorough review

@ByronTeaHill 3 года назад

Really handy, takes a little bit of the stress of the ramp away

@elvisthumper1279 3 года назад

Once again an excellent walk thru. Detailed, well made, informative, everything. If I could add any constructive criticism- please mention things like price differences, warranty differences, availability of spares, installation hassles etc etc. That bit at the end about the triangle is legit super helpful for people looking to buy. But overall- sheet, your vids are truly excellent. If you are ever in western Sydney, please come and say Gday at Bass Angler.

Thanks Elvis, the video was already 17 minutes long and that’s the easy stuff people can just google brother! I may just pop in one day buddy!!

love my twin raptors, changed over a couple of years ago from powerpoles. totally agree with 2 n the individual buttons. i never had the pleasure of the tri pedal but watching u i can imagine where i wud have thrown it, not in the bin either. tailor made for sight fishing barra also murray cod but not to the same extend as barra. drift in n maneuver the boat into position with the minn kota n raptor up until the next move, stealth all the way. gud review Byron.

@ByronTeaHill 3 года назад

Hahaha, thanks legend. Glad to see you back and watching the videos! They are proper quiet mate, full stealth mode.

Hi Byron, Ever since watching your How to Edit Fishing Videos, I've been spoilt and find myself watching videos on other Chanels and thinking, 'they got that wrong....' 8-) I'm fitting out my Quintrex Renegade and find these product review videos really informative as I'm working through difference scenarios in my mind. You've obviously (and publicly) put a lot of thought into the layout of your boat and one thing that seems common on American Bass style boats like yours is that the rods just lay loose on the deck. I'd be worried about accidentally stepping on them or kicking them overboard! Have you thought about different rod storage options ? Maybe a subject for a future video ?

@ByronTeaHill 3 года назад

Hey Alf! hahaha we all have different styles. But yes, my brain hurts sometimes watching videos. It's a valid questions, to be honest we develop habit patterns and I seldom stand on the rods - that being said, the biggest risks for the rods seem to be people who are on the boat, but not used to them OR my kids. Over the 8 hours of fishing, rods do move around a bit.

@drunge1 3 года назад

I have dual 10ft Raptors. Agree with everything you said. The Raptors are noticeably better than the blades. But...BUT the stomp switches and bluetooth connectivity are absolutely horrendous. Power Pole stomp switches are light years better. I have the actually round stomp switches. Watching you tap the triangle switch, looks exactly like me doing the stomp switch dance. I found this video, because I am researching any ideas to increase the switch sensitivity.

@ByronTeaHill 3 года назад

keen to hear what you end up with, I havent installed the round switches yet. But have them on the boat

@liquid_existence7484 3 года назад

Awesome bit of gear! What are the weight comparisons between the raptors and powerpoles?

@ByronTeaHill 3 года назад

Geez good question dude. I’m not 100%. Keen to know if you find out

@marretta1987 3 года назад

@Grumpyneanderthal Год назад

Thanks for the installation vid and this review vid. I watched several other vids on Raptors but yours was the best and I largely made my decision to purchase two 10ft Raptors based on it. I will install them this weekend.

@HaiFishing 3 года назад

Awesome in-depth review mate! Not sure if I missed you mention it or if it’s a stupid question but can you install a single Raptor on a Hobbie Kayak or a small tinny boat?

@ByronTeaHill 3 года назад

Hey mate, I guess someone could, but that would be overkill - Powerpole micro anchor all the way on a kayak

@HaiFishing 3 года назад

@@ByronTeaHill Will check them out at the boat shop! Cheers mate!

@bakervinci163 2 года назад

Fishing down wind might be the most efficient way to use these.

@isaiahlee187 2 года назад

New Boat owner here ! The boat ramp idea is what’s selling me on getting (2). Question though: You mention the technology these raptors have by digging themselves deeper when you start to drift. Do they know when to stop on they’re own when going down? Or is that at the users judgment ?

@ByronTeaHill 3 года назад

I don’t include it sometimes mate, especially if 60% of the audience is from the USA, it just confuses people. Google search your country :)

@AJyfm700R 2 года назад

Does anyone know if it's possible to keep these holding the boat in place when fishing for 12 to 24 hrs straight?

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

yeah mate, as long as you have battery power the active anchoring will continue to work. just watch the tide! if it comes it it may lift you off

@notaliberalfromcali6245 5 месяцев назад

Had both.. like the Raptor best.

@bakervinci163 2 года назад

I have had two sets of power poles. I just got an Allison. I’m considering getting Raptor 10’s. I wish they had the paddle option. It makes a really big difference when trying to control down wind drifting. The power poles do get stuck from time to time.

@georgeadcock2347 Год назад

I'll stick with my Power Poles. I never have had any problems. I know customer service is great even though I have never required it....

@bakervinci163 2 года назад

They have to be good. They are power poles with a diff name and more hydraulic pressure

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

and more features like an intelligent anchor that drives you back in if you start to move. Honestly dude I saw your other comments, Power Pole had the lead in this market and did nothing to improve when their patent expired, someone else made a better product. Who is to blame? If powerpole come out with something better than what they have now, I'd love to give it a go

It's a good product untill the tide comes in and you drift off the bottom. It doesn't automatically adjust.

@@ByronTeaHill this product needs to automatically adjust.. . Amd depending on what country you are in like Europe the tide changes are massive. .

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

I think you've probably got the wrong Idea on what this product is and is not. It's a shallow water anchor designed for active fisherman stalking fish stopping silently. I'd suggest its not a mooring option or an option for a deep water. Tight Lines bud and thanks for watching

@@ByronTeaHill i don't have the wrong idea at all.. well People always use products for not what they were intended purpose. Have you ever used a hammer as a screwdriver.
