Imagine drifting away from your prime fishing hole just as the big one bites—frustrating, right? The Minn Kota Talon BT 12' shallow water anchor changes that game entirely. Designed for boats up to 12 feet, this rugged aluminum pole drops straight down with precision, gripping the bottom like it's glued there. Whether you're chasing bass in skinny water or holding steady against choppy waves, its Bluetooth smarts and versatile controls keep you locked in, letting you focus on the fight.
This isn't your grandpa's anchor. At 47 pounds and stretching 12 feet, it's built tough for saltwater abuse, with a composite spike that flexes under pressure but never quits—backed by a lifetime guarantee. The silver and white finish resists corrosion, and its compact footprint (8 inches wide by 7.5 inches high when stowed) hugs your transom without stealing space. Electro-mechanical power means smooth, quiet operation, even in the wee hours when fish are finicky.
Freedom is key on the water. Fire it up from the Talon's panel, snag a wireless remote (two included), tap your phone via Bluetooth app, or link to i-Pilot, i-Pilot Link, or even your Humminbird fish finder. Add an optional foot switch for hands-free bow control. It's intuitive, with LED indicators glowing to confirm every move—no guessing games.
Plus, an alarm chirps if you gun the throttle with it deployed—safety first.
The integrated work light is a game-changer for low-light rigging. Switch between cool blue or crisp white, dial in one of three brightness levels, and illuminate your transom for tying knots or unhooking fish after dark. It's discreet, powerful, and saves fumbling for a headlamp.
Vertical drop keeps the pole clear of your lines—no tangles mid-cast. Auto up/down is effortless: one button and it's stowed or set. Pivots 30 degrees for angle tweaks, and removal is a breeze for trailering. In rough stuff, wave absorption tech uses dual-stage suspension to isolate jolts, holding you rock-steady.
Quick setup means more time fishing, less tinkering. Most anglers bolt it on in under an hour using basic tools—level surface, secure the bracket, wire to your battery, and pair Bluetooth.
Pair it with a Minn Kota trolling motor for seamless integration. In super-soft muck, opt for longer pulses in Soft Mode. Rinse after saltwater trips to extend life, and update the app firmware seasonally for peak performance. Bass tournament pros love it for sight-fishing flats; kayak anglers dig the lighter-duty hold on smaller craft.
Download the free Minn Kota app on your smartphone, pair via Bluetooth from up to 100 feet away, and control deploy, modes, light, and more with taps. It also auto-updates software for reliability.
Absolutely—its aluminum construction and sealed electronics shrug off corrosion. The composite spike and saltwater-tough coatings make it ideal for inshore or coastal use.
Standard for hard bottoms, Soft Bottom for mud/sand penetration, and Rough Water for wave absorption with extra grip. Select based on conditions for the best hold without stuck spikes.
Yes, integrates smoothly with i-Pilot, i-Pilot Link, and Humminbird units for app or remote syncing. Optional foot pedal adds bow control.

5-year limited on the unit and brackets, lifetime on the composite spike. Covers defects in materials and workmanship.
Secure your spot, cast with confidence—this Talon BT turns shallow water hunts into trophy hauls.
When you find the right fishing spot time is critical. You can’t wait to anchor, can’t wait to cast, and can’t be bothered to move until you get what you came for. That’s why we designed every inch of Talon to hold you in place effortlessly and relentlessly – every time out. Talon is also the first and only shallow water anchor available in lengths up to 15 feet. Saltwater-Tough Engineering Keeps Talon safe from the corrosive effects of saltwater
