DIY Shallow Water Boat Anchor - Poor Mans PowerPole
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 12. 2020
- Welcome back! This video features two anchor systems I am using for the Bass Raider. The Anchor Wizard is a very cool anchor system that I use when I am in 7ft of water or more. The DIY shallow water anchors I use in 7ft or less. Having both anchor options makes a huge difference when I am out fishing! Thanks for watching - please like and subscribe!

Awesome ideas my friend. I also like the idea of being capable of rotating the 10' rods 90* to lock down on boat for travel. Thanks, Steve
Thanks much for the video of add-ons for these smaller fishing boats. Lots of good ideas that I would someday like to add to my Bassraider. Keep em coming and good luck on the water.
You’re welcome! All the best with your mods!
Nice innovation as usual. I had to put about 18" of chain on my deep water anchor to get the anchor to dig in.
Thanks! I found if I was too close/over the anchor when I set the line it wouldn’t hold, but when I let out enough line (to where the line was at a 45 degree angle) it would hold. Tight lines!
This is one badass PBR... Love it. Gotta try the anchor wizard.
Thanks bro! I probably need to stop the mods before it ends up looking like transformer! You’ll love the anchor wizard, it’s such an awesome product! All the best!
Nice work! Thank you for sharing 🙏
Dude your Awesome 🤩👍🏽 really nice setup. Best that I’ve seen!!!!
Oooooo! I like that! I'm going to steal this idea for my kayak!
Please use the idea! The design was updated to swivel. You can see it in this video if you’re interested: czcams.com/video/HP8nDeaEjkw/video.html
Nice set up!!!
Looks good for a work in progress.
I am happy with the new design, which will be featured in tomorrow's video! Thanks for the complement!
I like it if you find away to rotate them. Thats going to be a game changer.
Great build
Really nice work.
Nice video and great idea !!!
I love these ideas ! I got a twin troller and I need to make a couple mods to it similar to yours in the anchor department!
Loving the mod use of the anchor trolley parts! Anchor wiz is on my short list for my yak, might make it quick change from yak to Raider.
Yaks are cool, but man the Raider fishes like a yak and has the extra room! The Anchor Wizard is awesome!
@@maxcastfishing4357 No kidding...tired of spending money to make my yak more fishable. Working on a Raider as we cyber speak. I see spot lock in my future!
@@B.A.Bassangler sweet, all the best with your mods!
That would work well for Spring Bluegill Fishing ,It would also work For The Crappie Bedding Treetop Fishing Around here , it's usually relatively Shallower say 10ft or less in these oxbow lakes
I can't wait to use these during the bass spawn! It's gonna be awesome!
Genius
Nice video! You need to look into the "no snag" tie method for your deep water anchor. Several videos on YT show this technique using a small tie wrap at the eye and the main knot tying to the bottom point of the anchor. If you snag on rocks you pull the rope until the tie wrap breaks, anchor flips, and you pull it back by it's point. I've saved my kayak anchor (similar to yours in design) at least a dozen times when I would have otherwise lost it in 25 ft of water.
Nice, I like it
Thanks, bro!
Very impressive👍🏼
Thanks for the kind compliment!
On my shallow water anchor brackets I used 3/4 in black pipe, floor flange, one tee, and three nipples, painted black, they look great. Love your boat mine looks just like it thanks to you. lol
@@tommybell2347 your shallow water anchor bracket as described sounds great!
That is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Did you ever figure out a new method for the power poles?
Any way you could show a better view of the layout on the pulleys at the back? I really like this setup.
You can use trolling motor brackets on your anchor poles
I like the idea of having a folding hinge so to speak, and even bought some furniture hinges that lock when opened. I do like the idea of using trolling brackets. Thanks for the tip!
gate hinges mounted on the transom corners so you can lay them down
i have the idea pictured in my head... hard to describe exactly
Thanks for the suggestion! I have since got it all worked out and works awesome!
Can’t lie man your bass raider mods are next level 😅 I got to look in to getting both of those on my boat
Thanks for the compliment! Be sure to check out the new design for the shallow water anchor in the last video - it’s a lot better! I hope to have the video on how to make it out soon. All the best!
Don't know if this is still relevant but you could cut your poles in half. Use brass inserts and 1/4 x20 threaded studs to assemble them. We use their shalow anchors for kayak tourney fishing. The rope going up isn't neccessary... Cool idea tho.
Nice setup, swivels on trailer jacks might work for ya to lay down the shallow water setup
Thanks for the tip! I have since redesigned it with a swivel system and works awesome!
Great video...What is the shaft length on power motor?
Sweet setup where did you find or how did you make the poles I can't find anything
Have you tried mounting the pvc pipe to a separate board then mount that board to the transom with a single bolt to create a pivot point?
A trolling motor bracket would work good to fold down
I saw where a guy used a trailer jack to manufacture a livescope transducer pole because he could use the pivot capability of the jack. I turns 90 deg and locks into place. Maybe you could use them for your power poles
A rotating sleeve like in the front wheel of a boat trailer would work to have those poles tip down out of the way
Get a your self a couple trailer jacks that pivot. cut the top off the jack take all the insides out. You could mount that to the casting deck then slide the poles through where the jack used to be. And attaché the pulley to the tube housing
You are one of the reasons I have a pelican 10e I went full nerd on mine and I love it 🤘🏻
@@jasonsheefy6080 Thanks for the tip and complement! I have redesigned this anchor and I am please how it turned out. The next video going up tomorrow gives a brief look at it!
Is your boat front end heavy in the water when your by yourself?
I have similar set up and my front end don't like to hold up with any wind or waves.
Tia
Try using something like the rotating mount from the front of the trailer wheel ? might work. I'm sure you could find something smaller,
Something that rotates is what I've always had in mind! Thanks for the tip! I think I'm happy with the new design. Tomorrow's video gives a brief look at the new design. All the best!
Why do you need 2 ropes one on top and one on bottom. Maybe I’m stupid, one on top does that just help push it into the bottom? Thanks
Try Scotty slip discs, and mod some rod holders. Put those bad boys at any angle you want. I used the slip discs to mod each joint of my YakGear outriggers for infinite adjustment. Mates up fine with Railblaza. Can't be paddling a yak with pontoons that are out of plumb! LOL!
I like your thinking on this! I have since redesigned this and now they do rotate! Stay tuned!
@@maxcastfishing4357 need the new setup asap!
@@justcallmeDiesel sorry for the delay. Life has been crazy hectic lately. Tomorrow's video features a brief look at the new design. Stayed tuned for the DIY video on it!
@@maxcastfishing4357 Heck yeah!
I just watched this and immediately thought of the Scotty transducer mount and those slip discs--figured I would read the comments before I posted.
I'm building a pontoon/catamaran style boat. I'll be using an anchor system similar to yours. My first thoughts were along the line of a small hose reel. Rigging some kind of stop (lever) to let the anchor down. Using the crank on the hose reel to lift it when not needed. One in the front and one in the rear. For deeper water anchoring.
For shallow water anchoring I'll be using EMT tubing. First thought was to have them pivot and lay along the side of the boat when not in use. Question, why don't you use the same technique to tilt them down as you did for raising and lowering ? That is how I'll be doing mine. I wont be using those little gadgets you used. I'll just go with pullies from the hardware store. On a non-existent budget. Can't afford a boat....so, I JUST BUILT ONE.
You may have figured out what to do to your polls by now, but I was thinking maybe you a bracket like they do on a folding table?
I like the Anchor mods . But if I did the Shallow pole system I would have to put lumber on my boat and like I said in another video I`m 300lbs.
The anchor and transom mod really don’t add that much weight! My buddy is close to 300lb and we’ve both fished out of this boat no problem!
Do you have a build video of how you did everything!? Not just the anchor poles?!
Yes sir, I have videos on the casting deck, casting deck extension, net holder, and switch box. Here’s a good place to start: czcams.com/video/M-BheDRAw58/video.html
SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!.........YEAH-BUDDY....PIMP MY RAIDER!!!....THUMBS-UP!!!!!!!!!!
What size PVC did you use?
I have the answer to the rotate power poles 90 degrees issue, use a Swing-Back Bolt-On Trailer Jack
Better alternative to the micro power pole that’s just to dang pricey. Great job and keep up the good work!!
I’d love to get the micros, but man they are expensive. Thanks for the compliment!
What pound anchor are you using for the deeper water system?
Hi Michael, thanks for reaching out! I put an affiliate link in the description section of this video, which will take you to the anchor on Amazon. There are different weight options; I use the 3.5lb. All the best!
Mount a yacatack fishing rod holder and u can put it any way u want
Use a flag pole holder that has a pivot lock.
They are a little too big. But if you could find a lazy Susan. Similar to a seat swivel. You could swivel it put pin in to hold vertical and horizontally. Sort of like a wheel jack on trailer
2 pieces of square steel. Holes in each corner bolted together but able to turn. Bolt 1 plate to deck 1 to the pvc/pole. Pivot horizontal drill hole thru both plates. Pivot vertical drill thru your hole into the bottom plate. That way you can use the same hole to transport and use. Hope that makes sense
Makes perfect sense! I was thinking about using two pieces of a cutting board that rotate in the middle and have a quick release pin to lock in place. Thanks for the tips!
Do you still have this boat
How did you do the front plateform
Here you go!

Ой вей дорогой друг , кино конечно познавательное - за работу спасибо . Только вот одно непонятно Старому солдату - " Какой принцип работы мелководного якоря ?! Каким образом шесты погружаются глубоко в дно и каким образом происходит их извлечение из этого дна ?! Как такая система ведет себя на глубоком заиленном дне ?! На песке ?! Таки да , в России такой способ ловли не имеет распространения . Старый солдат имел себе удивление за такой способ стоять на месте при помощи шестов . Увы у нас информации ноль , да что греха таить - разнообразием нас не балуют как Вас и цены у нас имеют себе кусаться . Уважаемый друг , если Вас не затруднит объяснить Старому солдату что надо именно поименно для создания мелководного якоря своими руками . Схема и детальное тыканье пальцем что и за чем , как и почему !!! Увы не знает Старый солдат английского языка . Удачи и здравия Вам Уважаемый друг . Честь имею - Михалыч
