Introducing the John Oliverio Signature Series

TAMPA, FL – Over the past decade the Power-Pole® shallow water anchor has changed the world of sport fishing by offering the most technologically advanced boat control system ever invented. This year marks the beginning of the next generation of Power-Pole® shallow water anchor technology and its causing quite a stir.

The newly designed John Oliverio Signature Series features an all new light weight design, with faster deployment than ever. The in-line circle pattern creates the most dramatic, lightest design yet and our new SS Pump delivers a faster deployment speed no matter the size of the pole. The Signature Series is also the introduction of our first 4 ft. anchor for extremely shallow boats in addition to our standard 6 and 8 ft poles. It’s also our first introduction of color to the Power-Pole® shallow water anchor family. All of these new features make the Signature Series the new symbol of high style in high tech sport fishing, so much so that the inventor himself has put his signature on it.

The John Oliverio Story

John Oliverio is the brainpower behind the Power-Pole® shallow water anchor. Literally fishing all his life, it took a real angler to design the next generation of boat control technology. With a background in computer science, and mechanical engineering, driven by a passion for fishing and a love of the outdoors, John conceived the Power-Pole® concept in 1998 while fishing with this best fishing buddy, Sweet Lady Vidalia, his water-loving yellow Labrador. John had found over the years that he spent so much of his valuable fishing time maneuvering his boat into position to get to the fish that by the time he was ready to cast the fish had moved on, While others had used a straight rod to keep their boats from drifting out of position, John still wanted his hands free to make the cast and the catch. After a few sketches and a Lego® model the first Power-Pole® anchor was created.

Since then John has been Inspired by the craftsmanship and beauty of a fine fly reel and so the John Oliverio Signature Series represents the latest, most sophisticated design and technology that JL Marine Systems has to offer. But over and above all this, John has put his name on this custom series because, in his own words, "It's what I'd want."
