The floating stake out pole comes in 5 ft and 6 ft long and is well worth the money

I use the one from LB Outfitters and love it.
Whatever you use, make sure it floats!

I agree, floating stakeout is worth every penny. I got my 6 ft floating stakeout from Austin Canoe and Kayak. With the TKF discount you can't go wrong. Tight Lines.

We carry the LB Outfitter Stake Out Stik and we also give the same TKF discount. Team Southwest is sponsored by LB Outfitters and have yet to find a better product.

I bought a stake out stick, from my personal experience and the places I usually fish, 75% of the time it was quicker and easier to drop an anchor. There have been quite a few times where I thought a quick shove into the ground, only to hit something hard and feel the shock go up my arm very uncomfortable. It's kind of a reflex action, if you get shocked enough you kind of try to avoid doing the same thing that's shocking you.
Some current would be too quick to have time to force the stick into the ground securely. I would have to leverage the stick with my full body weight to get it into ground. Kind of situational, depending on the places you fish, it might be the best thing on the planet compared to anchor, in some it may be more of a hassle.
Won't really know for sure till you buy one.
