What is a shallow water anchor pole?

A shallow water anchor pole is a manually deployed pole designed to hold a boat in position by penetrating the bottom in shallow water. It provides an alternative to a traditional anchor for anglers fishing flats, shorelines, rivers, lakes, and other shallow-water environments.

What is the Stayput anchor pole?

The Stayput Pole Spike is a shallow water anchor pole designed to work with Stayput's boat mounting systems. Anglers manually deploy the pole through the mount and into the bottom to help hold the boat in position while fishing.

How does a shallow water anchor pole work?

A shallow water anchor pole works by passing through a mounting point on the boat and being pushed into the lake, river, or coastal bottom. Once set, the pole helps prevent the boat from drifting with wind or current.

What size anchor pole do I need?

The appropriate anchor pole length depends primarily on the water depth and your boat's mounting location. Stayput offers different Pole Spike configurations, including 10-foot and 12-foot anchor poles, to provide additional reach for different shallow-water fishing conditions.

Can I use an anchor pole on a jon boat?

Yes. A shallow water anchor pole can be used on many jon boats when paired with an appropriate mounting system. Stayput's Clamp-On Transom Mount is a drill-free option designed for applications including jon boats, skiffs, and aluminum hulls.

Can I install a shallow water anchor pole without drilling into my boat?

Yes. Stayput offers drill-free mounting options. The Clamp-On Transom Mount attaches to the transom without drilling, while the Motor Mount uses existing motor bolts.

Can I mount an anchor pole on the bow or stern?

Yes. Stayput offers both Bow Mount and Stern Mount configurations. The bow mount provides an anchor pole deployment point toward the front of the boat, while the stern mount positions it at the transom.

Is a shallow water anchor pole good for fishing?

A shallow water anchor pole can be particularly useful for fishing because it allows an angler to quickly hold the boat in position without deploying a conventional anchor and anchor line. This can be useful when fishing flats, shorelines, structure, or other locations where maintaining a specific position is important.

What boats can use a shallow water anchor pole?

Shallow water anchor poles can be used on many jon boats, skiffs, flats boats, bass boats, aluminum boats, and other shallow-water fishing boats, provided an appropriate mounting system is available for the vessel.

Is an anchor pole the same as a stake-out pole?

The terms anchor pole, shallow water anchor pole, stake-out pole, push pole anchor, and shallow water anchoring pole are sometimes used for similar manual anchoring systems. These systems generally use a rigid pole inserted into the bottom to help hold a boat in position.

What comes with the Stayput PRO-Ready Bundle?

The Stayput PRO-Ready Bundle includes one Stayput Pole Spike with Super Handle and one Stayput Mount of your choice. Available mount configurations include the Bow Mount, Stern Mount, Clamp-On Transom Mount, and Motor Mount.

How much do I save with the Stayput anchor pole bundle?

The Stayput PRO-Ready Bundle provides 10% off when a Stayput Mount and Pole Spike are purchased together, compared with purchasing the components separately.

Does a Stayput anchor pole require electricity or hydraulics?

No electricity or hydraulics needed! The Stayput Pole Spike is manually deployed, using simple leverage to drive the pole into the bottom for a strong, reliable hold. It's a quick, quiet, and affordable way to anchor without the complexity of a powered system.
