bought the motor bracket and comes out after 5 min with min waves, it works better without the bracket because the bracket pulls it put of the water with the movement of the waves.
these are basically spud poles which they have been using on duck boats for years, I have a set on my duck boat which is aluminum and they just welded a bracket on the front and back so I can stake it out.
Product looked exactly what I needed. But was concerned about how it would anchor in hard sand bottom. I found this video & when I realized you were fishing in my backyard, Sailfish Point & Stuart causeway in the back ground I got the impression hard sand was not an issue as most of the flats have hard sand there. Got my product, had to wait for hurricane to pass & finally got to try it. It is not going into the sand that easy and just slides along the bottom. Was there a trick you did not show in the video? Did you use a Hammer or something to drive it into the hard sand? Any advice would be appreciated.
Matt: Looks like the numbers on your boat don't have a space between FL and last two letters. I do like your product just something I noticed that will attract attention from Da man.
Each extension can be unscrewed, allowing you to disassemble. The initial pole is 6', and offers 2' and 4' extension options. I imagine they would fit nicely in horizontal rod holders or under the seats in the front of your vessel when disassembled. If you want to keep your pole assembled or don't have an area conducive to fit the pole, here are some suggestions for mounting or tying down: www.floridasportsman.com/editorial/how-to-use-push-pole-alone/399637 Hope this answers your questions!
Not everyone is engineering inclined, or has the time/energy to dedicate to a project like this. If you do make something along these lines, I'd be curious how you go about it. Film and share with the class, please. 😊
