- In this video I answer the question that I get quite bit about more affordable alternatives to the Power-Pole Micro Anchor. While I believe that the Power-Pole is one of my most useful tools, I understand that it doesn't fit some peoples budgets so this video discusses many of the more affordable options.

Loved your video....just getting into kayak fishing....old disabled vet who still craves the adventure....obviously you are the real deal....love it...be blessed and stay safe
I have a stakeout pole and the anchor wizard , both are utilized to their full potential at various times as needed . Have been educated immensely watching your videos on numerous subjects in regards to kayak fishing . Thank you very much !
Thanks Robert
I used to kayak a half a lifetime ago and LOVED it. Recently got back into shooting and my neighbor has started dragging me along fishing (god bless him). Now TH-cam took me to all these great kayak fishing channels, which I've subscribed to, and here I am saving up for my first fishing kayak. I'm a big guy so it won't be cheap and if I've learned anything it's buy once cry once. I love all the info on these channels. Thanks very much for sharing all your knowledge and water wisdom you've built up over the years. It's fun and I really appreciate all the work you put into it. I think I might drive down to Jackson Kayak and see if they can't help me figure out which yak to try first. My goal is to be out on the water next spring. Save that money!
I use the tomato stake. The 3/4 inch 9.00 one. Then put a pvc T on the end. Works great! Love your vids as always thanks for the info.
Chad you asked for a comment so here ya go brother. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing your knowledge. you gave me the nudge to get off my hind end and get kayak fishing. Thanks for your service as a retired vet myself I can tell you first hand what being in the outdoors does to heal.
Great info Chad. Glad you touched on the other ways to make your own instead of just pushing one product. Keep 'em coming
Just got my first kayak today, which is for fishing. I'm enjoying your videos. You give a lot of good pointers and information that is going to help make this a more enjoyable experience. Also Thank you for your service.
I am new to Kayak fishing, and I want to thank you for all of your videos. It has been very helpful. I have fished tournaments in a bass boat however I am loving the kayak. Thanks again.
Many years ago I found a 1 1/2 inch diameter, 8 foot long fiberglass rod at Grainger for like $25. Cut that sucker up drilled holes in it, and epoxied couplers and threaded rod in it to make a multi-piece stake out pole. It worked well, but was heavy and definitely didn't float. Not nearly as nice as the the park n pole, but it did the trick! Glad Luther and Chad are out there revolutionizing this hobby with quality gear!
I feel like this is the first video of yours that I’ve watched where I got to see a lot of your personality. Definitely a subscriber now! Haha
Thanks Chad! I use a 10' x 1" pvc pipe with a tee on the end.
All that beneficial information and all I got was, “I need to buy a grinder.”
i guess I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online ?
@Jerry Ali i use flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Damian Melvin Yup, been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)
@Damian Melvin thanks, signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it!!
@Jerry Ali Glad I could help :D
I wish I’d have found your TH-cam channel along time ago... you have answered a lot of my questions and so many more that I haven’t even thought of yet 👍
I made one too. I install garage doors. So I used a residential spring shaft. 10 feet long, with a shovel handle bolted to the top, and a wooden sharpened dowel at the business end. Painted black and works great especially in current. Thanks again Chad for the great kayak content.
Great video Chad! I use pvc with metal conduit in it. Glued tee on top and plug on bottom. Been used my the same one for 7 years now!
I appreciate the video! I have fished with a recreational kayak for years, and just picked up a 2019 Hobie Outback. I typically fish rivers here in SC, so I owned (but rarely used) a five pound anchor. I recently learned about stake put poles and it looks to me like the best one around is the Yak Attack version. I appreciate the unique design features you worked in, especially the "hook" feature. As someone who fishes oyster beds about 75% of the time, the ability to pop a jighead loose with the pole is very appealing. Thanks again for the great video and for your design expertise! Now I've gotta go find a Yak Attack Park and Pole to buy!
I am new to all of this. Just purchased my Big Rig today. Of course the first thing I did was go to TH-cam to figure out how to use it and see what else I might want to add as I go. Your channel has been awesome and I really appreciate the information!
New to kayaking. Thanks for the tip on using the stake out pole to free stuck jigs and lures. Such a simple solution might just save me a decent amount of money.
I'm enjoying these new short informative videos!
Enjoying this informative kayak videos. Helps me get prepared for when my dad and I get our kayaks. Also looking forward to seeing you at the Indianapolis boat, sport, and travel show next week.
You crack me up.. Yet give me so many great tips in all your videos for fishing & kayaking. I love love love fishing, ice fishing too.. I don't have a boat anymore so my only option is finding a kayak I can afford and try to modify for fishing. I'm looking forward to more of your videos.. Thank you.
That’s awesome Tori and thank you. I’m glad you like the content. Thanks for watching
Thanks for all your videos, find them all useful in their own way! Keep it up and I'll keep watching.
Really enjoying your channel and another great video. Got me excited to head to the shop and make myself a stake-out pole for my new kayak. Putting on my best working kilt and heading out to use my grinder, dremel and gonna grab a big hammer and see what I end up with.
Killing it!
I will be watching your vids all day.
Great product review.
By the way, I own TWO grinders!
As a wildlife photographer looking for ideas, you just gave me a good one.
Awesome, glad that I could help
Hey Chad, I have had my eye on one of those for some time now and plan to get one as there were many times i could of used it this past year when it was very windy instead of using my anchor. Great video!
I've used a fiberglass garden hoe handle with the blade removed. I drilled out the handle end and epoxied a sharpened 6" piece of 1/2" round rod to use as the spike end, and still have the original hook on the other end to grab things or manipulate the pole with. It's not as versatile as my Park-n-Pole, but it certainly has seen it's fair share of duty out and about on the water with me over the years.
Chad, I appreciate you, man !!!
Really liking these types of videos. Some of it is so simple I can't think of them when I need it.
Chad, thanks for another great video/tip. I'm currently working on a 2 stage, manual deployment, anchor stake.
I'm moving to Petawawa, Ontario in the next month so i started researching kayak fishing. I really look forward to getting into this hobby with all the rivers and lakes around Canadian Forces base Petawawa. Your video is very helpful and I look forward to watching other videos you have, since you seem to very knowledgable in this sport. I have a grinder and a dremel tool I love DIY projects.
Thanks for your knowledge and advice. Very helpful for this newbie. Cant wait to start kayak fishing. Soon!
Looked at making one, found different ideas and wound up just going and supporting my local kayak shop during this shutdown w the yakattack pole. Happy w it and happy to support local.
Hey Chad: This is one your best videos recently. It has all the ingredients: humour, low-budget appeal, DIY experiences, more humour, and a challenge and reward offered to the viewers. Oh, and did I mention ... more humour
Thanks Chad! I've been a kayak fisherman for years and have been thinking about a power pole but since there are so many other things I could buy with I may go low tech for now now and use the savings to buy more tackle and lures. P.S. I have been mostly fly fishing up till now so there are plenty of new toys to buy!
He who dies with the most toys wins!
Great information Chad. Always appreciate your videos. Thanks for sharing this
Great informative vid. I’ll be picking one of these up
Both of us use the 8’ garden pole, works great!! So glad I own a grinder!
I was planning on buying a pole like yours Chad but didn't wanna spend too much money thanks for the great ideas
Ok Chad, ya got me... I subscribed to your channel. Been watching your videos for a couple days now and this is the video that did it. I am currently working on my manual version of the power pole. Looks like it will be around $120 in parts when it’s all done. Thankfully I already own a grinder so I don’t have to worry about getting one of those lol.
Another great video, Chad! I thought about the painter pole, but never gave it a try...time to break out the grinder :-).
i have been using mine for 8 to 10 years and love it!
Man, I think you just convinced me I need one of these, and the extension.
Great info as always. I made one from a garden stake and I add a PVC Tee to the top of it.
Thanks for these videos. They help clear up questions that i have. Great stuff.
Love the ideas you gave with this push pole/stack out poles!
I always like your videos. They are very informative and make me ponder on new ways to solve problems.
Great video and I appreciate all of your wisdom and tips. I am getting me one of these soon.
Walmart has a 7 dollar fiberglass plant stake. I bought 2 and epoxied them together with a copper coupling. Works like a champ.
I like these types of videos on what you need to start out kayak bass fishing.
My next purchase! Thanks for the great tips Chad.
Great video, most of my fishing is in the shallows and I've been looking for a good solution. Thank you very much!
Thanks I’ve been pondering a Parking Pole vs one of the rear mount options. This seems to be much more versatile than a permanent mounted one.
Another great video. Awesome that you are giving people cheaper options. Thanks Chad. I think I am number 1000.
Thats sweet! You gave alot of cool ideas for a diy stake out pole. I don’t have one yet for my sit in yak. Thank you for the tips.
Hey Chad love to hear you talk about the good old day when you couldn't just go on line and buy things that you needed for your kayak because they didn't exist! If you wanted something you had to make it yourself😎
Love the video. Very much into less expensive options that work!
Awesome work, I never leave your videos uninformed!!!
Greatly appreciated the information on scuffer holes.
Hey Chad, i used an old aluminum broom handle and attached a frog gig fork at the end. It has worked well many times for me for a stake out pole. Thank you for all your ideas add well.
This was awesome. Who knew I could run a parking pole through my scupper hole. Game changer. Brilliant!
Great video! definitely gonna try the plant stake. (I already have a grinder!)
Still haven’t reached a 1000 comments LOL. I thought it was a top shelf video that offered low tech and reasonable yak attack product. Thanks for sharing.
Good stuff! Always great to watch!!!!!
Thanks for the informative videos that you're doing. I've been looking for a good stake out pole around 8'.
I used a pole from a big umbrella, the kind that fits a picnic table and a handle from a old sea rod, jammed the rod into it and locked it in place. It gave me a 8 foot long pole. Been using it for 3 years now. Works great and has a nice point on it.
Thanks Chad! Another informative video!
YakAttack park n' pole looks very versatile, like how it comes in four foot sections. Great video Chad
As always. Great tips and enjoyable to watch.
Great video Chad, you sir are a fine upstanding Appalachian American! I am new to your channel and yak fishing, I found you through Gene Jensen’s channel. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you on the trail.
New to all this kayak fishing stuff. Now I have to watch a whole lot more videos about stake out poles and such.
Great information. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.
This thing looks great!
Just discovered your channel. Loving it!
I just repurposed an extendable window washing pole with a broken end. I knew I kept it for a reason, I just didn't know what it was until I watched this! Sometimes we need a kick to start thinking again.
OK Chad, I am grateful for all of this technology that people are creating for the kayak industry, but I do miss the old days when we used to have to make our own things. The parking pole is a great tool though. Also, I am liking your new content. Good on you for switching it up! 👍🏻
Love how you all ways got some good info for even us broke folks lol thank for all the great tips man
I love my Park'n Pole! I also love my 8lb down rigger at the front. Deadly combo so tank you for the ideas.
Well, I got a grinder, dremel, bunches of tools, and I made mine outa pvc.....great vid, thanks for sharing!!
My son Nathan ( he is 10) just purchased the 6 foot version by Yak Attach on Saturday! I wanted him to get the 8ft, but that’s a lot to ask of a 10 year old . Awesome timing on the video!!! I have been asking him to watch your paddling video you just released. Also is note worthy, he will be using on his True Grit SS107. 🍻
Great information Chad
Thanks for what you do
My wife told me to put on my bra and go buy a grinder. I'll be back!
Good stuff Chad
Lmao😂😂😂🎣
My wife has a grinder ...and I have to keep telling her to take her teeth out.
LOL
Thanks Chad, great info for us newbies
Thanks for all the great advice. Just got my first fishing kayak and have been watching all of your videos.
Awesome! Thanks for watching
Just viewed Flukemaster make a Tokyo rig...great to see such Outstanding role model and mentors return to their roots...or haven't forgotten...thanks!
Awesome video! I hope this comment thread goes up because I could definitely use one of the stake out poles! Keep it up, Chad!
Me too! I like giving stuff away.....
Great video, entertaining and informative
I just plain like your your videos but never comment, bought the Bonafide plan 2 use it as soon as the ice breaks. I’ll wait on the ParkNPole but it’s on the list. Good fishing! Thanks for sharing and caring about just everything.
Awesome video. New to the sport and I’ve been thinking about trying to make my own pole.
Hey Chad thanks for the info all of your videos provide. Dude I watch your stuff and I am rolling. I have been kayak fishing for some time and want to start making some KBF events. Hope to meet you because you are hilarious.
Thanks for the information. Just bought my kayak and was wondering what I was gonna do.
Great content! Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Great video. Parking pole will certainly go on my list to add to my bonafide ss127.
Thank You again Chad for the great information as always
Great insight on pole anchoring options.
Just ordered an 8’ park and pole! Thanks Chad!
Great video man!! I have been looking at making a riverstick anchor. I just can't work up the money for the dream pole. Thanks for all YOU do!!! Thanks for sure with lure retrieval idea never thought of that. Lol
Great video!! I really like these short info videos
Great vid, thanks for the less expensive options!
Good ideas for low cost solution to power pole. Keep giving us ideas we can use while saving up our money.
Guess I'll just pop in and say this pole would look great with my new bonafide SS107 I just bought as my first kayak thanks to all your information on the product so I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work
