re: Raptors vs Power pole

No opinion either way but I am about to build a bay boat and like the idea of having a pair on it but I have a pair of micro power poles on my duck boat and other than staking it out while using it as a blind I have never found a need for them. My fishing mostly consists of long lining for crappie, dragging baits for stripers, flat lining live baits and chunking and winding from the front of the boat. Seems like the poles would interfere with all of these. I have fished on boats with them and love them but do they not limit what you can do from the back of the boat?
