Minn Kota Talon shallow water anchor system

Any thoughts on this electric anchor system?  It sounds pretty decent but not sure how it will compare to the Powerpole.

I've got two mounted on the rear of my Skeeter ZX225. Only got to use them about 2 or 3 times before water temperature dropped, so I'm not fishing shallow water now. I really like how they are all electric, very quiet and very quick, also lightweight. They are about 2 inches lower than the highest part of my cowling when the motor is tilted up in the trailering position on a motor toter. Stick up alittle over a foot when the motor is tilted down in the normal fishing position. They can be programmed to run two on one remote or run one on each remote, they also sell a 4 button remote. Can also be removed from the boat if you get the optional quick disconnect.

Have you experienced how they handle wakes/waves yet?  And if so, how did they perform?

I only got to use them on two trips before the water temp got cold enough I've quit fishing the shallows. They performed great both of those times though. Never got to take any real waves with them down, however my partner and I both got on the back of the boat and tried to rock the boat with them deployed. You could tell the wave absorption was working on them. They have enough down pressure that when I raise them after they have been fully deployed you can feel the back of the boat drop. Makes fishing off the boat like fishing from a dock. Can't wait to put them to work this spring.
