Power-Pole Blade 8' Shallow Water Anchor with Independent Pump | Black & White
Power-Pole Blade 8' Shallow Water Anchor with Independent Pump
The Power-Pole Blade 8' with Independent Pump is the lowest entry price into the Blade platform ā a single 8-foot shallow water anchor with a dedicated hydraulic pump, built for smaller bass boats, aluminum fishing boats, and inshore skiffs where 8 feet of anchoring depth covers the water you fish every day.
One 8-foot Blade anchor. One dedicated hydraulic pump. Two finish options. Built for where most anglers fish.
šÆ Why Choose the 8' Blade?
The 8-foot single Blade is purpose-built for the boats and water most freshwater and inshore anglers fish every day. If you spend the majority of your time in water under 8 feet, the 8' model gives you everything you need ā without the extra weight, profile, or cost of the 10-foot model.
Ideal for:
- Bass boats
- Aluminum fishing boats
- Technical skiffs
- Flats boats
- Bay boats
- Anglers who spend most of their time in water under 8 feet
Advantages over the 10' model:
- Lower transom profile ā less visual bulk and better clearance on smaller boats
- Lighter system weight ā reduced load on the transom
- Reduced transom load ā better suited for lighter aluminum and fiberglass hulls
- Lower cost ā lowest entry price into the Blade platform
- Easier installation ā shorter anchor means simpler routing and mounting on compact transoms
- All the holding power most freshwater anglers actually need ā don't pay for depth you don't fish

ā Frequently Asked Questions
Is one 8' Blade anchor enough?
For most smaller bass boats and aluminum fishing boats in calm to moderate conditions and water under 8 feet, one Blade anchor provides excellent holding power. If you fish in current, wind, or need to hold a larger boat precisely, a dual-anchor system will provide more stability.
What is the difference between the 8' and 10' single Blade?
Both are functionally identical single-anchor systems with independent pumps. The 8' model is better suited for smaller boats and shallower water, has a lower transom profile, and costs less. The 10' model provides greater depth coverage for larger boats. See our 8' vs. 10' comparison guide.
Can I add a second anchor later?
Yes. You can add a second Blade anchor with its own independent pump, or upgrade to a ONE Pump system. The Blade platform is designed for expansion.
What is the difference between the independent pump and the ONE Pump?
The independent pump powers one anchor. The ONE Pump system powers two anchors from a single compact unit with synchronized deployment. See the comparison table above.
What comes in the box?
One 8-foot Blade anchor, one independent hydraulic pump (HPU), one 2-button wireless key fob remote, one advanced dash switch, heavy-duty pre-crimped hydraulic hoses, and installation hardware and documentation. Mounting brackets are application-specific and sold separately.
Does it work in saltwater?
Yes. The Blade Edition is compatible with both freshwater and saltwater. The five-layer marine-grade powder coat finish is designed for corrosion resistance.
What mounting brackets are required?
Mounting hardware depends on your specific boat and transom configuration. Jack-plate adapter plates may need to be purchased separately. Contact TrollingMotors.shop before ordering.
What warranty is included?
5-year mechanical warranty, 2-year warranty on electrical components and hydraulics, and a lifetime warranty on the Everflex spike.
