Anglers Channel Partners with Power-Pole For Total Boat Control on the Vexus® Dream Rig Build
Columbia, SC (April 29, 2024) – The Anglers Channel Vexus® Dream Rig is officially underway and will be rolling out of the Flippin, AR facility in the coming weeks, outfitted with the latest in bass boat technology. In keeping with the Dream Rig theme, Anglers Channel has partnered with Power-Pole® from bow to stern for Total Boat Control in 2024. The Vexus AVX 2080 will feature the Power-Pole MOVE® ZR brushless trolling motor for unrivaled power, stealth, and durability on the bow. The stern of the Vexus Dream Rig will feature the brand-new Power-Pole ONE Pump anchoring system, featuring the Dual Blade ONE Pump design that debuted at the 2024 Bassmaster Classic.
According to Danny Blandford, Business Development Manager for Anglers Channel, “Setting up the Vexus Dream Rig has to be one of the more exciting projects I’ve worked on, thanks in large part to the partnerships and industry support here at Anglers Channel. We’re fortunate to be able to choose the best products on the market for our intended use, and the Power-Pole products are exactly that. Being that the Vexus AVX is an aluminum boat, maintaining the weight advantage has been one of the key principles behind the build. Both the MOVE and the ONE Pump system are some of the lightest products in their categories, yet have both strength and durability, which is a must for a Dream Rig.”
The MOVE ZR trolling motor weighs only 53 pounds and has an ultra low-profile design, including the smallest head unit in the category. The aerospace grade titanium shaft is warrantied for life and tough enough to withstand some of the beatings it’s sure to take in shallow stump filled waters.
Blandford went on to add, “One thing that really impressed me in testing, in addition to the power itself, was the REAL-FEEL® foot pedal. It can be adjusted to steer exactly the way I want to, while being whisper quiet. It was not only as smooth as older cable steer models, but it also didn’t have the noise I’ve experienced in other digital steering trolling motors. I’m confident the MOVE is the stealthiest of our choices and that’s key in the shallow waters I spend time in.”
With the MOVE ZR providing plenty of power to pull the Vexus AVX at high speeds, the Power-Pole ONE Pump package is the perfect choice for keeping the boat at rest. Paired with dual 8 ft. Power-Pole Blades, and operated by a single lightweight pump, the system will provide rock solid anchoring and yet still satisfy the goal of keeping accessory weight to a minimum. The ONE Pump is 40% lighter than past models, takes up 50% less space, and draws 41.6% fewer amps when in use. Overall, the ONE Pump system is the most advanced Power-Pole hydraulic system to date thanks to the inclusion of a more powerful brushless motor, along with an upgraded circuit board and valves, making it the ideal choice for the Vexus Dream Rig build.
Beyond featuring Power-Pole products on the Dream Rig, Anglers Channel will be featuring the various features and benefits of Power-Pole products, highlighting the Captain’s Cash Program and winners, as well as keeping up with Team Power-Pole on the pro circuits throughout the year.
