Really enjoy my Talon and would have two if I didn't have a kicker. The lower profile and ability to install a tilt bracket for a garage or low bridge were big for my storage and fish situations.

A nice feature of the Talon is the changeable anchoring modes for condition type; Auto, soft bottom and rough water. My 10' Talon held my 19' Alumacraft in 8.5' for 2 hours, transom upstream without moving in stiff current 150 yards from a hydro dam The "rough water mode" does a great job making sure that the spike holds, even on rocky bottom. I've found the built-in wave absorber helps ensure the spike stays locked down but allows the boat to move up/down with the waves.

In certain situations, I utilize both my Talon and Spot Lock to position the boat at a particular angle when trying to pick apart particular structure. It also helps and decrease the battery usage of my trolling motor while in spot lock in windy conditions.
