Quick Answer: What Is a Bait Boat?

How Do Bait Boats Work?

Bait boats use a remote-control system that directs their movement, speed and bait-release mechanism.

Most modern bait boats, like the Sailvvay UK C-Series, are powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, providing extended runtime and reliability. The C-Series also integrates GPS tracking and fish-finding technology, allowing anglers to locate suitable fishing areas before deploying bait.
