When you find fish along a shallow bank, around grass, or beside cover, constantly correcting kayak position takes time away from the next cast. The YakGadget QuickStop™ Pole Anchor System Standard gives anglers a manual shallow-water anchoring system for stopping the kayak and working productive water from a controlled position before moving on.

The 7.5 ft. anchor pole is mailed separately through USPS, so it may arrive separately from the rest of your QuickStop system. Anchor poles cannot be shipped internationally.
Work down a shallow shoreline, stop when you reach a productive stretch, and use the QuickStop to hold the kayak while you make additional casts to the area instead of continually repositioning. When it is time to cover new water, retract the pole and move to the next target. The removable pole also makes it easier to break down the setup when the fishing day is over.
Keep the QuickStop in your kayak setup for the places where stopping, making another cast, and thoroughly working a small piece of water matters more than continuing to drift past it.
The QuickStop provides a manual way to hold position when fishing shallow enough to use a pole anchor. It is useful when you want to stop on a specific piece of water and make additional casts rather than continuing to drift through the area.
YakGadget specifies that the QuickStop Pole Anchor System Standard is made to fit kayaks with Power Pole inserts. Do not assume compatibility based only on having open stern space or another type of accessory mounting point.
The system includes a cheek block and a pair of collars that slide over the pole. An eye bolt on the collars provides the connection point for 550 paracord used for retraction.
Yes. The collars are removable so the anchor pole can be removed from the system for travel instead of remaining in its fishing position during transport.
The pole is mailed separately through USPS, so it may arrive separately from the rest of the QuickStop system. The pole cannot be shipped internationally.
