Brent Erhler

Minn Kota pro staff member and 4-time FLW Tour event champion, Brent Ehrler, also uses two 8′ Talons on the transom of his boat. His most recent win at Smith Lewis Lake has put his career earnings to $1.9 million.

“Minn Kota Talon has improved my shallow water fishing tremendously. With a quick double tap on my remote, the anchors drop instantly. I can stop on a dime and pick apart a piece of cover, target an actual fish, or just hold myself in one place while I retie.

One trick that I use is putting both of my Talons on the same frequency on one remote. By doing this, I can drop both Talons at the same time with one button. I then take the remote and put it on a carabiner, which allows me to put the remote on a belt loop or jacket loop. By doing this, I know exactly where the button is so I don’t have to take my eyes off of a fish that I spot or where my next cast will go. I can reach down, deploy my Talon, and never take my eyes off the target. I truly feel more competitive with Talon. Because they are so strong and so easy to use, my shallow fishing will never be the same.”

Anglers’ expenditures have a significant impact on the nation’s economy

Alexandria, VA – January 10, 2013 – Recreational fishing is more than just a pleasant getaway for millions of Americans. As an industry, it provides a living for countless people in businesses ranging from fishing tackle and boating manufacturing to travel and hospitality to publications, magazines and much more. As reported in Sportfishing in America: An Economic Force for Conservation, a new fishing statistics report produced by the American Sportfishing Association (ASA), the trade association that represents the sportfishing industry, the number of anglers increased 11 percent over the past five years and fishing tackle sales grew more than 16 percent. When expenditures are multiplied by our nation’s 60 million anglers, their dollars have a significant impact on our nation’s economy. Read the rest of this entry »
