TALON. THE WORLD’S FIRST 12-FOOT SHALLOW WATER ANCHOR.

We’ve lowered the anchor, raised the bar and silenced the competition. The bold new 12' and 10' Talons are 30% quieter, 30% more powerful and 100% guaranteed to be the last shallow water anchor you’ll ever need. Looks like we’ve hit a new low. And we couldn’t be prouder.
