DIY Kayak Anchor for under $20 | MUD STICK POWER POLE

When I see a fish while poling around, I want to be able to get rid of my pole and stop fairly quickly to make a cast. This is my poor man's DIY version of a Power Pole for my kayak. Having a DIY kayak anchor like this will help you step up your sight fishing game!

Dude, so cool involving your son in this. Best thing I’ve seen on YouTube in a long time! (I like the mod / pole mount idea too!) :-)

What are your thoughts on putting a trolley anchor system on both sides of the kayak with 2 small hand turning gears using drift socks? If thats hard to imagine picture this. You have 2 socks on both sides of the yak. On each side you have a hand turning gear (just like rudder systems have) but these gears would be used to position your drift socks either at the front of the boat or the back.

Pretty cool! I also use my stake pole in some of my diff scupper holes. It’s real sturdy.

Fill pvc with heated sand and you can bend it without buckling.

Have a Old Town MK106 and just added two Yak Gadget FlexRod Stager System where I can lay the anchor stick and tie into my anchor trolley when needed
