Evinrude and Power-pole

In covering the American Crappie Trail event at Neely Henry lake this weekend I noticed two distinct things.

First,  Evinrude is a extremely popular motor  among crappie anglers.

Second, Power-pole is nearly required equipment for serious crappie anglers, but not for what you think. Most of these folks have the poles and have installed the paddles. Rather than shallow water anchors they are used for drift control.

They are both sponsors of Americas most prestigious crappie trail, The American Crappie Trail.
