I fish a lot of shallow grass flats down here in Florida. You will see people push poling from technical skiffs in order to quietly move on fish. The Pro Angler does a good job at this as well. I got a 10' fiberglass stakeout pole from Captdick.net. One end fits perfectly in the upper right rod holder tube, and the other fits in the clip behind the seat.

Very nice!

I'll keep that in mind as soon as I save a bit more lunch money to buy a Pro Angler. (One will be mine soon...........oh yes, it will be mine!)

The flats in my area are a bit muddy so I'm not sure if a push pole w/o a foot will get much purchase on the bottom. Do you find this to be a problem or does the light weight of the Pro A make up for it?

I want one with a foot on it as well. I am working on getting a good source, will call Stan in the morning. Jason is the 10 foot pole long enough? Can't wait for winter to leave again so I can get some time on the water in the Pro Angler, its been ridding around in the back of the truck getting lots of looks!

Brad- Thanks for the invite. I won't be able to make it this time but I'm definitely interested in the future. (Especially after I add a ProAngler to the fleet.) Is there a website I can check out with Tournament info in the Panama City area?
