Talon
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
The Minn Kota Talon Shallow Water Anchor is an electro-mechanical transom-mounted anchoring system that relies on a straight-down, vertical telescopic deployment. This straight-down operation keeps the anchor clear of fishing lines and avoids the outward swinging path typical of hydraulic alternatives. Built with saltwater-tough engineering, it features an indestructible composite spike and an auto-up/down mechanical design that functions without complex hydraulic lines or fluid pumps.
Key Performance Capabilities
User-Selectable Anchoring Modes: Tailors spike driving force with Standard Mode (mild chop), Rough Water Mode (3-stage heavy-chop continuous anchoring), and Soft Bottom Mode (moderate force to prevent sinking into deep silt). Wave Absorption: Uses a built-in floating suspension system that permits the hull to ride up and down over wakes without unsettling the anchored spike. One-Boat Network Integration: Supports full operation anywhere on board via a wireless remote, Bluetooth key fob, wireless foot switches, i-Pilot remotes, compatible Humminbird fish finders, or the official mobile app. Integrated Safety & Utility: Features a dual-color transom work light (white and blue) and an active vehicle safety alarm that emits an audible alert if you start the outboard engine while the spike remains deployed.
