Go farther. Fish harder. Make every move count With Power-Pole’s MOVE Brushless Trolling Motors.
Power-Pole’s New MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor
By Keith “Catfish” Sutton
An innovative new trolling motor just introduced by Power-Pole will allow catfish anglers to go farther, fish harder and make every move count.
Please join us in welcoming the good folks at Power-Pole, CatfishNOW’s newest sponsor. The company’s Shallow Water Anchor systems, developed more than 20 years ago, are used and trusted by catfish anglers throughout the United States. Now Power-Pole is introducing something new and totally remarkable: its MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor, the strongest and most advanced trolling motor ever created.
Nearly a decade in the making, the Power-Pole MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor was concepted and constructed from the ground up with a focus on not just improving upon existing offerings but exceeding them in every way. The result is not only the most powerful electric motor available, but also the quietest and most durable trolling motor sportfishing has ever seen.
Company founder John Oliverio and the Power-Pole team began by looking at the technology and materials available and decided that to bear the name Power-Pole, they needed to begin from scratch. To have the power and stealth they desired, they needed to produce their own brushless motor and steering components to achieve their goals. Power-Pole’s research and development produced technology that has never been used in marine applications.
The Power-Pole MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor is constructed of the same premium materials and innovation that have made Power-Pole the industry standard Shallow Water Anchors. The technology used in the NextGen Brushless Motor and STEALTH STEERING DRIVE are key to the power production, and the operational reliability of the motor.
The motor and steering systems in the Power-Pole MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor are engineered to produce ultimate power while remaining near silent in their operation. The Power Unity System of the brushless motor and reinforced Techflow Propeller create 30 percent more power than industry-leading trolling motors, all while being whisper quiet in the propulsion and the steering systems.
The low-profile bracket features the ported aluminum design made famous by the company’s Blade Shallow Water Anchors and is protected by Power-Pole’s Multi-layer Corrosion Resistance Technology. Even the hinges, locks and pivot points of the bracket are engineered to withstand the rigors of extreme fishing conditions.
The shaft is revolutionary, manufactured from nearly unbreakable aerospace-grade titanium that will hold up to extreme pressure. That shaft combined with the bracket has been tested to withstand the harshest environments in fishing. While it is built to last, the Power-Pole MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor is built with contingencies so that anglers can stay on the water. Compound fail-safes were engineered into the system to ensure that the motor functions as it should even if parts become compromised.
The Power-Pole MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor comes standard with all of the features the modern angler has become accustomed to and more. Features like advanced Anchor Mode allow the angler to stealthily maintain position while focusing on fishing. The Vector Heading feature follows a straight course down a bank or offshore drift, while the Follow a Route feature guided by ProNav allows the angler to use the Power-Pole app or compatible device to set a route for the motor to follow. Finally, a Compass Heading feature causes the motor to bear towards specific compass headings identified by the user.
The Power-Pole MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor is available in two versions: The MOVE ZR is a model with a hinged scissor bracket commonly used on bass boats, and the MOVE PV, a pivoting version most commonly used on saltwater and big water boats. Both versions are built to withstand use in saltwater environments, will operate in 24- or 36-volt systems, are integrated with Power-Pole’s C-Monster 2.0 wireless connection system and produce Max True Thrust of 100 pounds in a 36-volt system or 78 pounds in a 24-volt setup. Power-Pole has chosen to use real-world, honest “True Thrust” numbers to measure MOVE performance instead of the current industry-inflated scaling standards.
Quite simply, the Power-Pole MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor is built to be the strongest, quietest, most reliable, most powerful, weed-destroying trolling motor on the market today. The Power-Pole MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor carries a three-year warranty on everything but the titanium shaft, which is protected by a lifetime warranty, similar to the Lifetime Everflex Spike Warranty found in Power-Pole’s Shallow Water Anchors. Of course, all warranties are backed by the world-class Customer Service that only Power-Pole provides.
Power-Pole’s pro anglers have been involved in the testing process and feel that the MOVE Brushless Trolling Motor is a product that makes their job easier as professional anglers. Pro angler Chris Lane, a multitime champion and Power-Pole pro, testified to the quality of the product. “This trolling motor is the ultimate combination of everything I need to compete,” he said. “MOVE is the lightest and quietest I have ever used and is the most powerful and strongest at the same time. It has truly helped me go more places and catch more fish.”
Lane’s brother Bobby, a champion angler and key Power-Pole pro staffer himself, echoed his brother’s sentiments. “I am primarily a shallow-water angler, and being stealthy is very important to me,” he said. “MOVE is not only the quietest motor I have ever used, but it has every major feature I need to be competitive and some that you don’t expect. It is truly the best I have ever used.”
The MOVE ZR is available in 45, 52 and 60-inch shaft lengths. It comes standard with Power-Pole’s Wireless Real-Feel Foot Pedal, separate wireless Foot Buttons that control Anchor Mode and GPS functions along with a Wireless Trolling Display to help the angler keep up with the system. MOVE ZR also comes with a Wireless Hybrid Remote complete with Charging Cradle that is compatible with Power-Pole’s Shallow Water Anchors through the C-Monster 2.0 system. MOVE ZR begins at $4,999 MSRP for the 45-inch, $5,199 for the 52-inch or $5,399 for the 60-inch version. There is a $200 increase for a model with integrated Lowrance HDi transducer.
The Power-Pole MOVE PV is also available in of 45, 52 and 60-inch shaft lengths, and a 72-inch model. It comes standard with two Wireless Hybrid Remotes with a wireless Charging Cradle and a quick release bracket mount. MSRP for the MOVE PV begins at $4,999 MSRP for the 45-inch, $5,199 for the 52-inch or $5,399 for the 60-inch and $5,599 for the 72-inch version.
