Ridgemonkey Hunter 3000 Bait Boat

Description

The Ridgemonkey Hunter 3000 Bait Boat is a remote bait delivery system designed for long-range accuracy and quiet operation. Building on the original Hunter 750, this model offers a larger 3kg+ bait capacity and a hydrodynamic carbon-effect hull that lets it glide through the water with minimal disturbance. The top-loading hopper uses an electromagnetic opening mechanism for a reliable, accurate drop, and a securing arm locks your rig into place before launch. A magnetic hopper cover protects exposed bait and rigs from wildlife, weather, and debris during the trip to your chosen spot. The boat is operated by an ergonomic single-handed controller, leaving your other hand free to manage your line. A cruise control function powers the boat forward in a straight line automatically, reducing fatigue on long piloting sessions. An LED power meter on both the boat and controller keeps battery levels clear, while front and rear lights, including a full-beam bright mode, help with orientation, illuminating target areas, and locating the vessel in low-light conditions such as fog. The controller carries an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance, and the boat's USB-C charging port is protected by a rubber cap. Twin lithium polymer batteries recharge via the included 60W mains adapter, or on the go with Ridge Monkey's Vault Power devices, sold separately. All parts fit neatly into the included carry case with straps for secure transport.
