This is a review of the Hobie Stakeout Pole - Kayak Fishing.
The stakeout pole works best when attached to an anchor trolley or anchor system. This allows for easy deployment and positioning while kayak fishing.
Measuring at 5 feet long with a 1 inch diameter, the stakeout pole provides the necessary length and strength for various fishing situations.
One of the notable features of the Hobie Stakeout Pole is its lightweight design. Although the exact weight in grams is unknown, it is mentioned to be very light yet strong. In comparison to two shorter poles, including one from Hobie, this longer pole weighs less.
For kayak fishing on rivers, the Hobie Stakeout Pole is an absolute necessity. It effectively holds the boat in heavy currents, ensuring a stable and secure fishing experience. When dealing with current, lifting the rudder and positioning the pedals up by the hull is advised.
I do not know the weight in grams it is very light but strong . I have two shorter ones ( one Hobie) and this weighs less at twice the length .
I am going to guess 5'. I use them with all three of my hobies on the rivers around Michigan. They have held my boats in pretty heavy currents. Something you have to do in current is lift your rudder and get your petals up by the hull. For rivers they are an absolute necessity.
