Minn Kota 12' Talon Shallow Water Anchor - Red
Talon Down. Game On.
Introducing the all-new, sleek redesigned Talon.
Multiple anchoring modes, and control from the bow, transom, console, remote or
mobile device. Unlock more water, and never miss another fish. Only with Talon.
Features
- Electro-Mechanical Design
- With no hydraulics, the lightweight,
space-saving Talon is as easy to install as a trolling motor. You can do
it yourself, and save the money on a costly installation. Talon's
innovative design - featuring minimal moving parts, no hinge points and
a motor that stays above the waterline - ensures that you're always in
stealth mode. Stays silent below the water - thanks to a motor that is
always a few feet above the waterline. The competition's noisy hydraulic
pump sits in the bilge, right where the fish can hear it coming.
- User-Selectable Anchoring Modes
- Anchoring in hard bottom isn’t the same
as anchoring into mud.
With Talon, you can choose between multiple modes to ensure the right
hold and fast, easy anchor retraction.
Auto Drive Mode: Powers the spike into the bottom with three
increasingly aggressive hits.
Soft Bottom Mode: For less aggressive anchoring – and easier
anchor retraction – in water with a muddy or silted bottom.
Rough Water Mode: For heavy wind and chop, this mode performs
three consecutive Auto-Drive sequences at 10-second intervals for a
triple-strength hold.
- Auto Up/Down
- Hit the button, then get back to
fishing. Only Talon has Auto Up/Down, which makes lowering and raising
the anchor as easy as using a car’s automatic windows. Utilizing
bottom-sensing technology, Talon automatically knows when it has
anchored, so you don’t have to hold down the button and wait.
- Fast, Vertical Deployment
- Head-to-head, Talon beats any other
shallow water anchor in a race to the bottom. Talon deploys vertically
in three stages . While the competitor's extended “crab leg” ties up
your lines and costs you fish, Talon’s patented sequential deployment is
quicker, quieter and stays out of your way.
- 2X Anchoring Force
- Talon is built with double the force of
the competition to lock you into your spot with unparalleled strength
and security.
- Built In Wave Absorption
- Talon allows your boat to move up or
down without affecting the anchor. Its exclusive built-in floating
suspension keeps you locked to the bottom, even in rough water.
- LED Depth Indicator
- Track anchor depth at a glance. The LED
lights on Talon show you how far down you’re deployed with each light
indicating two feet of depth.
- Deployment Notification Alarm
- Talon’s indestructible composite spike
bends but doesn’t break - even if you try to take off while deployed.
And if you do that, Talon’s the only anchor with an audible alert to let
you know.
- Standard Wireless Remotes
- Two wireless remotes – and a dash mount
holder – come standard to give you push-button control of Talon from
anywhere on the boat. All remotes are waterproof and can float.
- Triple Debris Shields
- Three custom-fit shields on the bottom
and inside of Talon prevent mud or anything else from being pulled back
into the unit. The indestructible spike goes out, and nothing comes back
in.
- Versatile Adjustments
- While other anchors limit you to one
position, Talon’s Quick Release Bracket enables up and down adjustment,
30° of pivoting, and easy removal when Talon’s not in use.
- Saltwater Tested
- Over 80 years of trolling motor design
and testing taught us how to full combat the corrosive effects of
saltwater. And we build that know-how into every Talon, so saltwater
won't stand a chance.
- Five-Year Warranty
- Talon carries a five-year limited
warranty – plus a lifetime warranty on the spike and a five-year
warranty on all brackets.
- Indestructible Anchoring Spike
- Talon's unbreakable composite fiberglass
spike is built with outstanding flexibility and can withstand years of
abuse – we guarantee it for life.
