Key Advantages That Elevate Your Fishing Game

Superior Holding Power in Any Terrain

Engineered to handle boats up to 10 feet in draft, this 43-pound beast delivers twice the deployment force of competitors. Its composite spike, backed by a lifetime warranty, penetrates mud, sand, or gravel without bending. Choose from three user-selectable modes—Standard for everyday use, Rough Water to combat waves, or Soft Bottom for mushy substrates—ensuring a rock-solid hold every time.

Control at Your Fingertips, Anywhere on the Boat

• Intuitive control panel for quick on-the-spot adjustments.
• Two included wireless remotes for bow or stern operation.
• Bluetooth app integration for iOS or Android—deploy, stow, or tweak settings without leaving your casting spot.
• Compatible with optional foot switches, i-Pilot systems, or Humminbird fish finders for seamless ecosystem control.

No more fumbling for switches; a deployment alarm beeps if you motor off with it down, saving your gear and your transom.

Illumination and Convenience Features

The built-in work light is a game-saver for low-light rigging or late-night retrieves. Switch between blue or white LEDs with three brightness levels to light up your transom without blinding you. Auto Up/Down makes stowing as simple as a button press, while vertical deployment keeps the pole clear of your lines.

Built to Withstand the Elements

At 49.47 inches long, 8.03 inches wide, and 7.53 inches high when stowed, its pivoting mount allows 30 degrees of adjustment and easy removal for storage. The electro-mechanical drive and floating suspension absorb jolts from wakes, protecting both boat and anchor. Silver and black finish resists corrosion, ideal for coastal adventures.

Effortless Setup and Everyday Reliability

Installation is straightforward with the included transom bracket, hardware kits, and power cable—most anglers complete it in under an hour. Once mounted, the sequential vertical drop is whisper-quiet, minimizing spooks in shallow flats. Retract it instantly to chase that follow-up cast, unlocking tighter spots others can't reach.

Complete Package for Immediate Use

• Full anchor assembly with power cable and 30A fuse.
• Pair of remote controls with lanyards.
• Mounting bracket and all necessary hardware for transom or bracket install.
• Dash-mounted remote holder for secure storage.

Why Anglers Trust Talon BT for Long-Term Performance

Beyond the 5-year limited warranty, the spike's lifetime coverage speaks to Minn Kota's confidence. Real-world users rave about its durability in tournaments, family outings, or solo skiff hunts. It doesn't just anchor—it positions you for more hookups by letting you focus on fishing, not fighting the drift.
