Bait boats in a fisherman's inventory over the past 10 years have become not a luxury, but a necessity. Most of the public water bodies have been fished out, and not everyone is ready to go to hard-to-reach places for 1 day fishing. Therefore, paid reservoirs are gaining more and more popularity.
Fishing with an ordinary PVC boat on paysites is, as a rule, prohibited, and the fish there, already taught by bitter experience, often do not bite an ordinary worm near the shore. Therefore, the fish have to adapt and buy echo sounders, expensive spinning rods for long distance casting, various types of tackle, such as a bait rocket.
Now on the Russian market there are remote-controlled boats for the delivery of bait. As soon as they appeared, their price discouraged most anglers. But over time, inexpensive Chinese bait boats also appeared on sale. Below is a list of the top 5 models of inexpensive bait boats for fishing according to Amazin.su
5. Tornado 7
Tornado 7 is a budget tackle boat with one bunker that folds back. It can deliver about 1 kg of groundbait. The new model is equipped with two 2600 mAh batteries. The Tornado 7 has a convenient control panel with a power increase function. The real range is about 250 - 300 meters, however, this is enough for most fishermen.
pros:
+ Agile
+ Powerful hopper dump spring (does not leave bait in the hopper)
+ Bright lantern and LEDs for fishing at night
Minuses:
- Working time on one charge about 5 hours
- Not stable on the wave, easily loses course
4. Flytec 2011-5 (2020) restyled model
This is an updated model of the popular Flytec 2011 - 5 (or Flytek Teltos - this is how the outdated version is branded in Russia). The novelty has received engines of increased power, slots in the container that hold the tackle during delivery, a large container for a reinforced battery. Compared to Flytec 2011, the case has become stronger (now ABS plastic is used for production).
Three-blade propellers and reinforced Feilun motors are responsible for driving performance, which rotate the propellers in different directions, which allows you to clearly adhere to the course. There is a convenient carrying handle on the body.
pros:
+ Powerful motors
+ Three-blade propellers rotating in opposite directions
+ Large container with the possibility of installing a reinforced battery
Minuses:
- Operates at 433 MHz (not compatible with Lucky fishfinders)
- Control of two joysticks
3. Lingboxianzi T168 (Katran)
One of the most powerful bait boats in the budget price segment. The ship has one bunker in the center of the hull with a carrying capacity of up to 3 kg. The hull looks like a catamaran and has good resistance to waves. Two 5200 mAh batteries are responsible for powering the boat. Continuous operation time varies up to 8 hours. The signal frequency is 2.4 GHz.
The only drawback is the central discharge of the bait, as it is inconvenient to lay the tackle. Now the updated Katran T588 model is also available on the market with steel inserts on the body, separate discharge of two bunkers and a convenient one-hand control panel.
pros:
+ Due to the shape of the catamaran, it is the most stable boat on the waves
+ Rapid move
+ 2.4GHz signal frequency allows use with Lucky fishfinders
Minuses:
- Tackle has to be put in the bunker from below
- There is not enough space for batteries to install reinforced
2. Lingboxianzi T188
For several seasons, this bait boat has remained the most popular. The appearance of the T188 resembles Flytec 2011 - 5, but this is their only similarity. It is worth noting that the Lingboxianzi plant was the first to produce ships with just such a design, and Flytec tried to repeat the success, while at first it became more popular.
However, the 2011 - 5 has a number of disadvantages over the T188. As for the T188, its main advantages can be summarized in three words - versatility, price, functions. The boat can be improved, Lucky echo sounders can be installed, even an ordinary fisherman can afford it. And for the main tasks, its technical characteristics will be quite enough if you do not strive for speed. Two bunkers with a lifting capacity of up to 1.5 kg.
pros:
+ Control of the boat with one joystick
+ Ability to install the echo sounder on a bracket developed by the amazin.su team
+ Ability to install a reinforced battery
Minuses:
- After being dropped, the bunkers become a sail for the boat and interfere with the progress in strong winds
