Minn Kota Talon
The Talon shallow-water anchor from Minn Kota has a use on your boat whenever you find fish in shallow water and need to hold position to work them. Redfish, tarpon, striped bass, speckled trout — if you fish for it in shallow water, a Talon on the transom is like a having a deckhand ready to set the anchor on your skiff or bay boat at a moment’s notice. Available in two models, for maximum depths of 6 feet 4 inches or 8 feet 4 inches, and in two colors schemes to complement a range of boats, the Talon looks classy too. The Rough Water Mode maintains hold on the bottom by repeatedly setting the anchor to prevent its working loose in bouncy conditions. Built-in wave absorption helps compensate for variation in depth due to wave action. Two included remote controls let you deploy or weigh anchor from anywhere in the boat. Starting at $1,299; www.minnkotamotors.com
