AeroKontiki

About

The Aero Kontiki is a dedicated fishing drone used for long line fishing by delivering 25 baited hooks up to about 1000 meters from shore out to the sea.

Story

Using a AeroKontiki fishing drone is a new and practical way of beach long line fishing, by simply delivering a baited line deep into the sea. This is a first of a new family of systems to add another interesting dimension to recreational fishing.

The concept is simple. Lift up a baited long line with up to 25 hooks, carry it as far as you can see out to sea, drop it off, and return to the beach and land by itself. Once done, you can relax, do what you love doing, and then pull the long line in after the desired time.

The advantages of the Aero Kontiki over the standard fishing Kontiki are:-
- Very fast delivery system.
- Don't get your feet wet
- Expensive equipment is not left out at sea to get snagged, lost or stolen.
- Very directional
- Manual control to safely release line, so that its clear of any boats, people etc.
- Clean, simple, reliable
- Very easy to operate

The Aero Kontiki Drone is equipped with GPS, telemetry, stabilisation systems, high load carrying capacity, high wind tolerance. It's a reliable and easy system to operate which has been built specifically for this purpose.

"The AeroKontiki is the world's first, most advanced, and most powerful fishing drone used to haul and deliver a 25 hook-baited long line up to 1500 meters out to sea. After delivering the baits, it uses a sophisticated autopilot system that returns to its takeoff location.The Aerokontiki is designed and manufactured in New Zealand for the harsh, wet, and windy West Coast conditions."
