The Talon will Get Ya - New Minn Kota Anchoring system
Posted by Jason Sealock on Thu, Jul 15, 2010 @ 02:10 PM
We've known about the Talon for several months and even had the engineers up at Wired2Fish offices going through the product several months ago. So we've anxiously been waiting for the product to come to market.
So the Minn Kota Talon is finally here. It's an achoring system that will quickly, quietly and firmly anchor your boat with an electronic controlled mechanical fiberglass spike. It deploys quickly and features an automatic 3-pronged stake process. You double click your remote (that's included with the unit) and the Talon deploys up to 6 feet, 4 inches of water or 8 feet, 4 inches of water depending on the model. Then it waits three seconds and spikes a little harder and deeper. Then waits three seconds and does it again.
Then if you're in rough water you can set it to spike every 10 seconds until it gets a firm hold to compensate for the eb and flow.
The unit has an adjustable bracke that makes it easy to raise and lower the mounting of the unit and angle it appropriately to meet the demands of your boat. And the best part is you can mount the unit yourself easily.
The units weigh between 20-35 pounds depending on the model.
They are all electronic and the spike is warrantied for life.
We're pretty excited about this system. They should start shipping their first orders in November.
