Key specifications
- Battery: 12,000 mAh, with an estimated runtime of 180 minutes
- Motor: 390 brushed motor, up to 8,000 rpm
- Speed: approximately 1 m/s
- Payload: maximum 2 kg
- GPS: storage for up to 99 waypoints
- Control: 2.4 GHz remote control with a stated range of up to 600 m
- Hull: ABS plastic
- Lighting: three LEDs and two RGB light strips with up to seven colour modes
The estimated three-hour battery life allows time for multiple trips. Actual runtime can vary depending on the load, how the boat is driven and conditions on the water. The 2 kg payload limit covers the cargo, so account for the weight of both bait and rigs when loading.
The 390 brushed motor propels the boat at approximately 1 m/s. When taking bait to a distant spot, allow time for both the outward and return journeys.
GPS and returning to fishing spots
The GPS navigation can store up to 99 waypoints on the water. Anglers can mark selected fishing spots and return to them when baiting up again or placing a rig. The system also supports route planning and boat positioning.
Saved waypoints can be particularly useful on larger waters, where manually guiding the boat back to the same spot may be more difficult. Positioning accuracy, however, is no guarantee of a successful catch.
Four compartments for bait and rigs
The boat has two separate compartments for bait and two for hooks or rigs. Keeping bait and tackle apart helps when preparing a trip and reduces the risk of them mixing unintentionally. The combined load must stay within the 2 kg payload limit.
Construction, control and lighting
The hull is made from ABS plastic. The boat is designed for use in mild waves, but its maximum payload does not guarantee that it cannot capsize or be damaged in every situation. Consider the distribution of the load and the water conditions before setting out.
The remote control operates at 2.4 GHz and has a stated range of up to 600 m. This is a maximum, not a guarantee of a connection in every environment; conditions and obstacles between the controller and the boat can affect the range.
Three LEDs and two RGB light strips help anglers keep track of the boat in low visibility. The lighting offers up to seven colour modes, including turn-signal effects that make its direction of travel easier to recognise.
Before use, check the rules of the particular fishing venue, especially whether bait boats are permitted. Allow enough battery reserve for the return journey, and adjust the distance and load to suit the conditions.
