This new shallow-water anchor will hold in 8 feet of water, but is only 41 inches tall due to its three-stage deployment.

Priced starting at $1,799.
MotorGuide X5 Trolling Motor
The new flagship MotorGuide motor, the X5 will replace the Tour series this year. The guts of this motor are the same as the Tour series, but a lot of attention was paid to precise steering control. It’s still a cable-steered motor, but an elliptical cam—instead of the traditional round one—allows for great control in thick weeds and deep water alike. They’re calling this Variable Ratio Steering, or VRS for short. It’s also supposed to be much quieter and more durable than previous models thanks to a redesigned door, a composite shaft, new shaft bearings and composite pins on the mount. It will be available in 12, 24 and 36-volt models and will be priced anywhere from $700 to $1,300.
MotorGuide Connectivity Enhancements
You’re now able to connect the Xi5 trolling motor with Generation 2 and 3 Lowrance units.
