Captain Scott K. Green (Rodbender Fishing Charters in Sarasota FL)
My name is Capt. Scott K. Green and I run Rodbender Fishing Charters in Sarasota. I was very intrigued with Rhodan's new product, so I had to try it out first hand. The accuracy at which the HD GPS Anchor Trolling Motor held my boat steady without drift was unbelievable. We were actually in some of my favorite fishing spots in the most extreme conditions (heavy waves, wind, etc.) and the boat stayed dead still! The jog feature was very helpful; if I felt as though I was out of position by 5 or 10 feet I just pushed on of the direction arrows a couple of times and it put me right where I needed to be. Truly remarkable! The trolling motor's tracking feature was very useful for casting along the mangroves. The boat just drives itself and you’re completely hands free. If you catch a fish and want to stop and fight it you just hit the anchor button and the boat will hold its position while you fight the fish. Then you hit the track button and you’re on your way again. This is a great revolutionary product that I would recommend to all recreational boaters and fishing captains.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, The Rhodan HD GPS Anchor + Trolling Motor is better than I expected, smooth, easy to use, powerful and accurate. This product will change fishing, it is a no-brainer for the avid fisherman. The ability to quickly anchor more accurately than with a traditional anchor, line and chain, and then being able to move spots without having to stop fishing. The ability to toggle from a track to anchor, and move in 5' increments is a dream. I will also be adding many windy day trips that normally are no fun based on always chasing the wind and current using a hand controlled trolling motor. The fact that I can focus on fishing and not have to worry about crashing into the oyster bar after the next cast is peace of mind. Thank you for creating a product that immensely improves the enjoyment of fishing.

I cannot say enough about the GPS Anchor Trolling Motor. I never though that I would ever need a trolling motor. I cannot figure out how I ever fished without the GPS Anchor. You do not need an anchor anymore. You tell it to stay still and it does. I did not expect it to actually "anchor" the boat. I thought that there would be some annoying movement, but these guys really nailed it. It sits still! By the way, the jog function is incredibly useful. I never though that moving the boat by 5-feet could be so easy.

Just wanted to drop a quick note to thank Rhodan for coming out with a great product (the GPS Anchor Trolling Motor). I am amazed by its simplicity and ease of use. Its accurcacy is extremely precise and is a true pleasure to use. I used the GPS Anchor Trolling Motor in several different conditions including High wind and fast current situations. It was able to hold us right where we wanted to be and that allowed us to have a great fishing experience.

I cannot believe how well this thing keeps you on the fish. I have never been able to fish so efficiently. I never use a real anchor anymore. I fish this thing in calm and rough conditions and it always behaves perfectly. I never have to worry about where the boat is and scaring away the fish. This is the quietest trolling motor I have ever used. Good job Rhodan!

I used to always be the anchor girl when I went out fishing. Sometimes I dreaded going out if it was cold because of the cold wet anchor line. Now all I have to do is stow or deploy the GPS Anchor trolling motor. It is way too easy! Plus, it only gets stowed during long runs. The huge memory capability has allowed me to record paths between my favorite fishing spots. It anchors at the end of the memorized track too! Pure Luxury.

Simply incredible. I dont know how it does it, but it does it well. This is the coolest new invention for boating ever. The applications are endless. I have never been able to catch so many fish. The HD GPS Anchor Trolling Motor gives an incredible advantage against the other guys.

"WOW" to the Rhodan GPS Anchor Trolling Motor. Installation was very simple and I was off to my favorite place on the Columbia River. I have the system mounted on a 20 foot, high sided, with a top, aluminum boat. Even with light wind and a small current the system held me on fish. It is easy to operate and made of good material. I would say that it allows me to fish at least three times more than normal and move around my boat. Don't think I would have had the chance to return that 5 pound small mouth bass the other day if it were not for the system allowing me to fish more. Thank you team Rhodan!

My father and I recently purchased the Rhodan marine anchor. Although skeptical, we bought it. It was the greatest investment ever. I recently broke my hand, however that didn't keep me off the water. I was fishing near the inlet in relatively rough conditions. I landed several fish and was able to leave the trolling motor alone without worry. I merely hit the anchor button and there I stayed while I dealt with the fish. Customer service has been great and the system works itself almost. Highly recommended product for serious anglers. I really can't say enough. Rhodan and staff have truely made an awesome product. Another thing I want to point out is that as we left the dock a guy said to me, "Why don't you have a power pole?" I responded with, " I fish the inlet as well as shallow water and the power pole, while a good product, will not serve my needs." He told me, "Well, I never thought of that." Every product has specific uses and the Rhodan marine anchor honestly covers all of them...One very pleased customer.
