Thanks paul

Good review. Had mine for similar time, 2 faults i have when the rig is dropped from the big hopper with bait in(my rear hopper door got damaged) the rig has on occasion got caught up in the propeller which is a nightmare to sort out and 2) it seldom returns home in a straight line sometimes round and round in circles from 100 yards out. You have to remember to almost stop the boat from moving around in open water sort the rod and bobbin out, then return it. Think if i was going to get another boat id go for an ND2 from what i have read the GPS and spot marking via the app is good value

Thanks , litterally just received mine...not even charged it yet. Great to see after 16 months it's still strong . 👍

Had the back hopper servo fail replaced it with rc plane servo same size works a treat now love this boat

Great little boat. Regarding how much charge there is in the handset, when you first turn it on, it bleeps. Four bleeps is fully charged, three is ¾, 2 is ½ and 1 means you should really charge it.

A tip from a pike angler using this boat... I found the deadbaits trebles occasionally got hung up on the lip in the bottom of the centre hopper, necessitating reeling the boat in and re-setting... I fixed this by blending the lip away completely with the application of some car body filler, sanding and painting it with black nail varnish... Nice review lads... tight lines !! 😎👍☘️🍺

Seem like great little boats. Thinking about getting one myself. The hopper just looks a bit fiddly if using a longer rig, would you place a rig with it how it is at 1:35? Like with the hook over the on/off switch?

@JediCarper

Don't think I would have the rig like that tbh as you run the risk of it snagging. I fold it into the hopper and never had any problems.

Good reviews Ged. I dont have that make but Baiting 500s. I bought 5 from the wharehouse (£150.00) that were faulty. One was used for spares and four are now good. I have been useing one for more than a year now with no probs. Why pay £100s or 1000s. Thats for the tits as another guy has said.

I got a £70 ebay China flap back bait boat as didn't wanna spend much to see if it works in my fishing. Coming up 2 years going strong. So much Easier in some instances, under overhanging trees or getting tight to the bank on a ledge. Cheap and does the same job as expensive bait boat.

I think there is only two entrances there is a piece of rubber on the front of the boat on the top and maybe getting through the rubber washer between the propellor and the engines.
