Minn Kota Talon BT 12' Shallow Water Anchor - Silver

Overview

Built for serious anglers and boaters who fish shallow water—flats, backwater creeks, and tight spots where holding position matters. Whether you're sight-casting in 12 feet or less, or need to anchor fast when the bite turns on, Talon BT delivers instant deployment and rock-solid holding power without the manual work.

This is a shallow water anchor that does one thing better than anything else: grips bottom, holds your boat steady, and deploys or retracts at the push of a button. Wireless control, multiple anchoring modes, and built-in safety features mean you spend less time managing gear and more time fishing. The lifetime-guaranteed composite spike won't corrode or break under normal use—even in saltwater.

Key Features

• Wireless Remote Control — deploy, retract, and switch anchoring modes from anywhere on your boat without holding down a button — lets you stay ready to cast instead of tethered to a control panel.
• Multiple Anchoring Modes — separate settings for rough water (heavy wind and chop), soft bottom (mud or silt), and standard conditions — you pick the mode that matches your water, and Talon adapts its grip automatically.
• Wave Absorption and Floating Suspension — the anchor moves up and down with your boat instead of fighting it, so you stay locked in place even when waves push you around—critical in anything above dead-flat conditions.
• Vertical Deployment — spike rises straight up and stays out of your casting lane and fishing lines, unlike traditional anchors that swing or drift.
• Auto Up/Down — one button press deploys or retracts fully without holding—saves your hand and gets you mobile fast when the spot dies.
• Built-in Work Light — white and blue LEDs with three brightness levels illuminate your transom for night fishing or docking without running a separate light.
• Saltwater-Tough Engineering — composite spike and corrosion-resistant construction keep Talon working season after season in salt or fresh water.
• Lifetime Guaranteed Spike — the anchor point is backed by a lifetime warranty; it won't break or corrode into failure under normal use.
• Pivoting Mount with 30° Adjustment Range — fits any transom height and angle; removal is quick if you need to swap boats or service the unit.
• Deployment Alarm — alerts you if you try to run the boat while Talon is still deployed, preventing a snapped spike and a ruined day.

Control Options

Control Talon from the included wireless remote, your phone (iOS or Android app), a foot switch, control panel, i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote, or directly from a Humminbird fish finder if you run one—whichever fits your setup. Bluetooth connectivity also keeps your software up to date without a computer.
