- A quick review of the Summit Fishing Equipment Lowrance ActiveTarget Pole for the boat. It's been a great addition to the boat and works great. Holds the Transducer the way I would like it and is very stable and solid.

Just grabbed this setup for my Hobie Outback. Thanks for sharing!
Hope you enjoy it!
great idea... just what I was looking for
Glad I could help!
It's been working great for me this season.
Follow up Pole received, and in good condition, I was just to big of a hurry.
I’m glad it came. I’m using mine now for ice fishing and it’s great
I don't mind my summit for jigging/casting, but trolling doesn't work. I run the Scotty mounts ball just like in the video, but I'm going to do some mods and try to get it solid enough for trolling.
I agree with your statement. I would like to figure out something more to secure it for trolling
I’m in the same boat. I parked my pole and went back to the ghost shaft mount for what I like to do. Only downside is anchor mode but once you know where they are and how they are reacting it’s still relatively easy to pick off a hole one by one. And with the ghost it’s pretty easy to scroll around and back to anchor in seconds vs manually on the pole. Depends what your target is I guess. The pole will get it’s use in the winter with its legs that’s all so no money wasted. Looking back though I’d have dug deeper into different poles before this one. I’d rank it a mid level. Not garbage but not super great. It’s one of those things I should of paid more for to have something accommodate the rest of the over priced electronics better for its ultimate use. Lol
Summit makes a nice stabilizer plate to solve for this. Should help out keeping the pole stable while trolling less than 8 mph. cheers!
I can't seem to find everything you have listed to make this work. Any help?
Thanks! Can it rotate the ducer to perspective mode?
Yes. The bottom mount just pivots up
After seeing this Summit pole. I ordered one likening the design and looks of it. 8 days later no shipment have arrived. When back to there website, no phone number, no e-mail address. I'm now ordering one form some where else. disappointed.
That’s a bummer. I’m not affiliated with Summit but have heard a few stories of them being hard to contact.
Summit Fishing have a decent product. Their customer service and instructions are brutal. Really brutal. No phone number, no answered chats, no answered email after two months of reaching out. If your last name is McGyver, you'll figure it out.
I have just affiliation with them. I’ve never had to deal with them as a buddy added my products to his order.
I have noticed they don’t have a phone number which is a tough way to run a business for sure.
Could you explain where to turn the transducer for each mode? Thanks
Down would be where the middle face is 90 degrees to the pole
Forward is 2 clicks up. The cord entering the transducer is at the back.
Scout mode would be with the transducer in down mode and then flip up the angle to flatten out the transducer with the metal dot (Temp Sensor) facing up
Does the Scotty ball mount not secure firmly enough where the pole is still a little shaky when deployed? Is this an issue when using the active target or is there a fix you found? Thank you.
It's a little shaky but not too bad at all. It didn't affect much last fall when I was fishing.
I have the Summit pole for my boat and ice fishing I just ordered the Active Target. with the Summit pole do you find it critical to have it as level as possible in the water to get the best picture ? Be it forward,down or scout ? Thanks for doing the video !
You want to have it as level as possible but it’s not super vital. You’ll know what’s good and what’s not once you start playing with it.
Thanks - really considering this mounting system. Did you use the 1.5 or 2.5" ball mount? It seems to be moving around quite a bit at 1:23 on right side video. Is this because you didn't have it fully tightened?
It’s the 1.5” ball. Because I kept moving it for the video I don’t have it cranked down fully. It’s pretty solid.
It's fucking garbage. I can't believe I found someone to take this POS off my hands.
Nice video ! Do you ever run your pole on the bow ? I’m going to run mine at the bow and in the back off and on.
Myself I don’t but have 2 buddies that do and they haven’t said anything bad about them.
How did you go about mounting it to the pole. I just got my active target and the same pole. But was a little confused on how to actually mount it to the pole and align the notches correctly
I just mounted it to the Hole at the bottom on the side of the bending bracket with the washer and bolt from the ActiveTarget hardware package
Where did you buy the R5 for locking the pole mount?
I got them here
thefishinhole.com
Do you troll with it? If you do does it stay tight and not move or loosen up will moving?
I’ve used it bottom bouncing at 0.8 - 1.2 mph and it was ok. I had in forward mode facing backwards watching my lure and the strikes.
I would say it worked “ok”. It would move at times and I’d have to readjust it. I haven’t used trolling with my downriggers at a higher speed.
How would this work on a pontoon ?
You might get away with ordering the 32-80” large pole from Summit and putting a Scotty 242 rail mount on the rail.
What size ball head ,do I need ?
1 1/2” ball
@@BulatOutdoors Ty
Did you get the 60 inch pole?
I got the 24” - 60” pole
Are you able to rotate all 3 modes on the fly with that quick release pole? I can only seem to get scout and down.
Yes, The down and Forward you need to pivot the transducer up 2 clicks to achieve the forward angle. (Power cord down) You may need to loosen the Allen key a bit to allow you to pivot pivot it.
@@BulatOutdoors and scout is loosen knob and rotate all the way up? First time I used it today
@@caseywuest6016 Yes, leave in down setting them pivot up. You can vary the pivot angle to get the best setting for you.
@@BulatOutdoors the 2 clicks on the summit teeth are the same as the 2 clicks on the normal lowrance teeth? I know angles are everything with these things
@@caseywuest6016 Yes. All my summer videos were on the summit pole and it worked great
Can you troll with that set up? Also can you send me a link of the stow away or storage arms?
I have bottom bounced with it around 1.2mph but it does move a little and need readjusted.
I lock it into the Scotty R-5 for travel.

Thanks
You’re welcome, hope the video helped you
Do you think it will be ok while trolling at 3 mph ?
I think it would slip and deflect back on you at that speed
@@BulatOutdoors If you had the chance to check at which speed it start to flex it will be appreciated. Summit pole are offered at reasonable price compare to others option. But there very limited information about their performance. Seems to be a more Popular option for ice fishing.
I won't be able to test anything in the water until mid May
What pole mount is that for that pole to spin ?
It’s the Summit Boat Mount Kit. It’s on their website under Boat Mounting Solutions
