9 Best Remote Control Bait Boats for Fishing

Looking for a reliable RC bait boat for your next fishing trip? Our expert team is ready to help you out.

Fishing is the second most popular outdoor hobby in the USA! Coming in second place after jogging, over  44 million Americans  fish recreationally.

This is in part due to the pandemic. Fishing is an activity that gets you out of the house, but also away from the crowds. Even as lockdowns have lifted over the last two years, it’s keeping its spot as a beloved American activity.

With an increase in anglers comes an increase in equipment sales, one of which is RC fishing boats. As they increase in popularity, they continue to  divide opinion . Traditionally-minded skeptics are slow to get on board. And novices getting their boats stuck doesn’t help to change their opinions.

With the right boat and the right amount of practice though, they are a powerful tool.

If you’re thinking of investing, read our guide below. We’ve listed the benefits, drawbacks, and best remote control fishing bait boats on the market. Plus, we have a bunch of tips to improve your fishing bait boat experience!

What is a Fishing Bait Boat?

A remote-control fishing bait boat – or RC fishing boat – is a boat designed to catch carp, as well as cat and pike. It’s used by fishermen to cast further than usually possible.

The fishing line connects to the boat, which users drive remotely to wherever you want to drop the line. Their usual range is up to 500 meters, depending on the model you use.

The fuel or battery-powered boats have one or two open storage areas, or hoppers. These can be filled with bait that users release on demand, as well as carrying your lead and rig.

How to Use RC Fishing Boats

The challenge with bait boats is making sure you use them the right way. Problems arise when anglers start to use them beyond their design capabilities.

Generally speaking, you should only use a bait boat where you can see it. That means not driving it to areas beyond your view, such as behind islands or into inaccessible bays. If you can’t see the boat, you won’t know if it’s gotten caught, causing damage, or in someone else’s way.

After all, how can you retrieve a stuck boat if you can’t even see it?

The second point is mostly common sense – be respectful of other people. With a bait boat, it’s easier than with a rod to get in other people’s way. Be aware of those around you, and never use your boat in a way that disrupts other anglers’ experience.

Benefits of Using a Remote Control Fishing Bait Boat

RC fishing boats have several benefits besides their further reach. They allow you to catch carp in areas they usually feed with confidence. And their specific bait release options increase your likelihood of success.

Lots of Bait with Little Disturbance

RC fishing boat hoppers can be filled with all kinds of bait. Paste baits, slop mix, and even live bait can be loaded into the boat.

But best of all, the bait release barely disturbs the water. As the hopper trap door releases into the water, it slips into the swim as gently as possible. Compared to traditional casting , it provides a stealthy advantage, especially as fish far out aren’t used to being baited.

Bait and Hook at the Same Time

The boats also allow you to bait the water and release your hook at the same time. Instead of a delay between the two when using a lot of bait, your hook is dropped into the water at the same time. That increases your chances of a catch, making sure you don’t miss the first few feeders.

Reach Places You Can’t Cast

Probably the most well-known advantage of a fishing bait boat is its reach.

With many boats traveling up to 500 meters and expensive models going even further, they allow you to cast further out. This allows anglers to access areas where fish aren’t often baited, helping them to catch more. This combined with the unique bait release methods of an RC fishing boat makes it a force to be reckoned with.

Of course, not everyone uses the boats this way.

Some fishermen on principle only drive their boat to where they know they could cast. They make use of the boat’s baiting methods without extending their reach. But this is a personal choice, not a requirement.

Are There Any Downsides to RC Fishing Boats?

With all these game-changing benefits, why doesn’t everyone have a bait boat? Here are a couple of reasons you should consider before investing in one.

Cost of RC Fishing Boats

Technically speaking, a fishing bait boat is of course not a necessary piece of equipment. So any cost to you is completely extraneous to usual fishing expenses. We make this point because they don’t come cheap.

While cheaper models exist, RC products in general are expensive when they’re good quality. Even RC cars can cost  thousands of dollars .

So what should you expect to pay for RC fishing boats? Typical products on the market fall between $400-$600. For the very high-end models, you’ll easily be shelling out thousands of dollars.

Boat	Price	Reviews	Size
Waverunner Atom	$349	4.3/5 (136 reviews)	16.5 in
iBobber Wireless	$249	4.1/5 (52 reviews)	10 in
	$169	4.2/5 (74 reviews)	16.1 in
Kyosho EP Jetstream	$689	4.0/5 (8 reviews)	22.6 in
Feilun FT011	$149	4.2/5 (38 reviews)	16.5 in
Happybuy Fishing Boat	$179	4.2/5 (13 reviews)	15.8 in
Aquacraft Bristol Bay	$369	4.4/5 (5 reviews)	28 in
Fish Fun Co.	$139	3.9/5 (67 reviews)	17.3 in
Traxxas DCB M41	$619	4.6/5 (14 reviews)	40 in

To some, this is an extortionate cost. But for others, the fishing experience that comes with a bait boat is worth far more than that! So we wouldn’t say the cost is really a downside, but definitely something to be aware of before you look to buy.

Negative Reception

RC fishing boats and  RC fishing drones  are not the most well-received piece of equipment.

Those less experienced with their bait boats have been known to cause tangles in other anglers’ lines or encroach on their territory. Others think that the boats are “cheating” as they allow you to access areas that can’t be cast to. Either way, they may not make you the most popular.

That being said, RC fishing boats, as well as RC drones, are becoming more and more common. The stigma is fading as their popularity increases.

Again, this isn’t so much a downside as a warning. Be prepared for a few funny looks from fellow fishermen, but the best catch of the lot!

Fishing Bait Boat Limitations

Though they’ve changed the game, bait boats still have their limitations – the weather specifically being one of them. While you may be hardy enough to keep fishing in wind and waves, the RC boats are not.

Some more expensive, hardcore models can be used in more difficult weather conditions. But generally speaking, you are at risk of losing your boat from wind and wave level four onwards. At that point, it’s best to rely on your more traditional fishing equipment.

That being said, some boats claim to work until wind and wave levels five and six. So check your individual boat’s instructions.

Where Can I Use Fishing Bait Boats?

Did you know that  computer-assisted fishing is illegal  in most, if not all, states? Thankfully, that doesn’t apply to battery-powered RC fishing boats. But it does raise the question of where you’re allowed to use them.

Bait boats are legal if the hook always stays attached to a fishing line. Despite their legality, they have still been banned in some specific fishing spots. This is usually due to the hassle it has caused in the past.

Just to be safe, check the local laws for your area before you start fishing with one.

9 Best Bait Boats of 2023

Now that you’re keen to get this kit, how do you choose which one? We’ve rounded up the best types of boats on the market in all price ranges to help you decide.

1. Lake Reaper Carp Fishing Boat

We’re starting off at the lower end of the financial spectrum, with a fishing bait boat that comes in at about $380. The Lake Reaper is everything you can want and need in a bait boat. It holds up to 1kg of bait and can go out to 400 meters. The battery lasts about 3 hours.

2. Waverunner MK4 Shuttle

At roughly $1,100, the Waverunner is one of the most expensive fishing bait boats on this list. Its price point is due to its incredible range, with the radio technology working at up to 1 kilometer!

To last that journey, its hoppers can also carry 5kg of bait. The battery has a 2-hour runtime.

This model is popular for its autopilot feature. And that is why we love the Waverunner Shuttle . It enables anglers to return their boat to the exact same spot over and over again. It costs about $870, carries 1.5kg of bait, works to 500 meters, and has a 2-hour battery life.

3. Angling Technics Procats

A little cheaper at $850 is Angling Technics Procat . They have long been one of the biggest names in the game, and the Procat is the best-selling bait boat of all time. But it can only carry 750g of bait, and last 1.5 hours on the battery.

So what makes it so popular? It is tremendously light compared to any other bait boat, at less than 3kgs including the battery. This keeps it quiet, agile, and easy to transport.

4. Anatec Catamaran DL

At over $1,300, this is the second most expensive RC fishing boat on our list. Its bait capacity is a considerable 3.5kg. But the battery only lasts a fairly average 2 hours, and it only goes out to 500 meters. For that reason, we highly recommend the Anatec Catamaran .

What makes this boat cost so much is its speed. It can travel at 1 meter a second, which is very fast for an RC fishing boat. It’s also a very durable boat, designed to last for years despite being used in wind and waves.

5. AHWZ GPS RC Fishing Boat

Costing around 10% of our last boat, the AHWZ RC Bait Boat is designed for casual bait boat users. It costs around $350, and still gets the job done.

At just 1.4kg, it’s a very agile boat. And it can carry more than its own weight in bait, with a 1.5kg capacity. Considering its price, the 500-meter radio distance is also impressive. This boat is the real deal, folks! It’s the perfect tool for getting your bait exactly where you need it for maximum fishing success.

With a user-friendly remote control and compact size, this boat is easy to operate and transport to any fishing spot. Trust me, if you want to take your fishing game to the next level, this RC bait boat is a must-have in your arsenal!

Its working battery life isn’t published, but it lasts up to 3 hours when idle. While not the most durable model, and not the best bait boat if there is any swell, it’s a great starting point for newbies!

6. Cresea GPS Bait Boat

Back to the expensive end, the Cresea Products GPS Sea Fishing RC Bait Boat is the monster of the market. It carries up to 8kg of bait! It works at 600 meters away and can remember up to 8 separate points on the water to auto-pilot back to.

Add to that its touch screen controller, and you can see why it costs around $200. Its tech setup also includes LED headlights and a sonar fish finder at up to 300 meters away.

7. Flytec 2011-5 Fish Finder

At barely $140, this Flytec 5 bait boat may not be techy, but it still packs a punch! Its bait capacity is 1.5kg between its two hoppers, which are individually controlled. Its working distance is a decent 500 meters. The battery life is 2 hours.

8. Carplounge RT7 All-In-One

Our last recommendation starts at a hefty $1250. But it’s hard to publish its specs as the bait boat features are  so customizable ! Add fish finders, cameras, better batteries – whatever you want – as long as you’re willing to pay.

9. Hevmeveni Dual Motor Boat

The Hevmeveni dual motor boat is the perfect addition to any fishing trip, with its automatic positioning system and dual-engine design that ensures accurate and efficient bait delivery.

With a powerful 12000mAh battery, you can use it all day without worrying about losing power. This boat is perfect for fishing in any water, from lakes to rivers, and even in the ocean.

So, if you want to improve your fishing game and increase your chances of catching more fish, get yourself this bait boat now!

Top Tips for Using a Fishing Bait Boat

Now that you’ve spent your money, we’ve got some tips to make sure you get the most out of your boat. And that at the same time, you don’t upset your angling neighbors!

Keep Hold of Your Rod

Just because your boat is casting for you doesn’t mean you don’t have to be holding on! If you leave your rod in its stand, you could miss a good catch by not being quick enough to reel it in.

Keep a Tight Line

In a similar vein, you need to keep your line tight. This is essential if you want to successfully reel in your catches.

It also reduces the chances that your line will get caught. If it’s floating loosely in the water, it could easily catch on obstacles in the water, especially if you’re near a bank. Keeping a tight line helps avoid your boat getting stuck.

Don’t Go Too Far Out

Each boat has its own distance limits. If you exceed that, your boat won’t respond to the controller anymore, even with plenty of battery.

So take care to never push your boat beyond its limits. Otherwise, you may have to pay a fee to staff who help retrieve it.

Attach a Separate Line to the Boat

In case you accidentally exceed your boat’s distance limits, it’s a good idea to have a line attached just to your boat. This is separate to the line with your hook that is doing the fishing.

Sometimes called a rescue line, it allows you to reel in your boat in case it exceeds its RC limits or runs out of battery.

A popular technique among bait boat users is to always reel the boat back in with the rescue line. By never driving it back when it needs rebaiting , you can save nearly half of the battery power your boat uses! In other words, you can use it for twice as long.

Use Hoppers Independently

Depending on the model you buy, you may have two hoppers that can be released independently. This introduces some interesting options for you to play around with.

For example, try laying a big-fish trap with your boat. Load one hopper with bait for fish and the other with just your hook bait, and see what you can catch!

Use a Bank Stick

If you’re using your boat anywhere near its maximum reach, it can be difficult to see exactly what’s going in. If you’re closing in on a bank, how can you be sure you aren’t going too close?

Many anglers swear by using a bank stick. Attach a stick of your desired length to the front of your boat to stop it from beaching itself on a bank out of your sight.

Buy a Battery Powered Model

Bait boats are usually either battery or fuel powered. While both models work fine, battery-powered models have several advantages.

First of all, they run quieter. Considering quiet bait release is one of the benefits of a bait boat, a model that runs louder than most is not ideal.

It also uses less power. Unlike faster RC boats , these bait boats use almost no battery to sit idle, whereas fuel-powered vessels have to keep running.

Battery-powered models are also simpler to run and maintain. They take as little upkeep as an RC toy, as opposed to a fuel-operated machine.

Buy a Submergible Model

If you get lucky, you might catch a fish so big it pulls your boat underwater. On the downside – your boat is now submerged.

While this may sound like an unlikely scenario, it’s definitely worth investing in a fully submergible bait boat. If you don’t, one big catch could write off your expensive equipment.

Beware of the Propellors

Depending on your model, your motor may be propellor powered. And not all propellor-powered boats have propellor guards.

If your line snags on your own propellors, the boat will become rather useless. To avoid this, try to drive the boat as straight as possible. Course correct gradually and avoid any sudden turns that could cause tangles.

Know Your Swim Boundaries

We’ve already explained the need to respect anglers around you. Choosing a fishing spot that doesn’t disturb others is key.

One of the best ways to do this is to know your boundaries. Just because you can reach areas you couldn’t when casting doesn’t mean you should encroach on other anglers’ swim.

For similar reasons, don’t use it too close to the shore. Doing so will not only annoy those around you, and is entirely unnecessary as you can cast there easily.

Protect Your Bait From Birds

Birds may not be geniuses, but they recognize a floating meal when they see one. Hungry scavengers may swoop in and steal your vessel’s load, causing a disturbance when they do so. To avoid this, many boat users tape a simple piece of cardboard on top of their vessel to keep the birds away.

There are several types of birds that are known to steal fishing bait , either from the surface of the water or from the fishing line itself.

Some of the most common culprits include:

• Seagulls are notorious for swooping down and snatching bait right off the surface of the water.
• Pelicans are not afraid to get up close to fishing boats, including bait boats, in search of a meal.
• Ospreys are skilled at catching fish and will often snatch bait from fishing lines if they spot an opportunity.
• Herons are opportunistic feeders and will sometimes snatch bait from the surface of the water.

It’s worth noting that these birds are protected by law in many areas and should not be harmed in any way. If you are having trouble with birds stealing your fishing bait, you may want to try moving to a different location or using a bait container to keep your bait out of reach.

Use Your Boat to Map the Swim

RC fishing boats don’t just have to be used for fishing. They are just  RC boats  after all! You can use them in other ways to enhance your fishing experience.

The most popular of these is attaching a device to your boat that can map the swim. You can then drive it around the area you want to cast to get a lay of the land, as it were. This extra information can make a big difference to your choice of casting area and overall success rate.

6 Common Questions

What is the best bait to use?

The best bait to use depends on the target species, location, and time of year. Live bait , such as worms, minnows, or shrimp, often prove most effective in attracting fish, but artificial lures, like spinnerbaits and crank baits, can also be productive.

Always research the preferences of the species you are targeting and local conditions before selecting your bait.

How do remote control bait boats work?

Remote control bait boats work by delivering your baited hook and line to a precise location on the water. They are typically controlled via a remote, allowing you to navigate the boat out to a specific spot before releasing the baited hook. This technology enables anglers to reach areas that might be inaccessible or too far to cast from the shore.

Can you really fish with an RC boat?

Yes, you can really fish with an RC boat, as they are designed to help you place your bait and line in hard-to-reach areas. Many RC boats have features like bait droppers or line release mechanisms, enabling you to deploy your bait in specific spots. However, the actual process of hooking and reeling in the fish will still require a traditional fishing rod and reel.

Do RC bait boats include a reel?

RC bait boats typically do not include a reel, as their primary function is to deliver the bait and line to a desired location. The angler still uses a separate fishing rod and reel to cast the line, which is then attached to the bait boat. Once the bait is released by the boat, the angler resumes control with their rod and reel to catch the fish.

What is bait casting for fishing?

Bait casting for fishing refers to the technique of casting a baited hook using a bait casting reel, which is designed to handle heavier lines and lures.

This method allows for greater accuracy and control when casting, enabling the angler to reach specific targets more effectively. Bait casting reels are often preferred by experienced anglers pursuing larger species or fishing in areas with heavy cover.

Should my bait boat have GPS?

Incorporating GPS in your bait boat can be highly advantageous, as it allows you to navigate to specific locations and save productive fishing spots. GPS-enabled bait boats can help you accurately position your bait in areas where fish are likely to congregate. Additionally, a GPS system can improve safety by ensuring you can easily navigate back to your starting point if you venture far out on the water.

There's a lot of great boats on this list! But hands down don't waste your money until you are sure you will use the boat at least once or twice a month. Start with Flytec at around $100 and go from there. If you are a serious fisherman, then upgrade to the Anatec Catamaran.

There are much more expensive bait boats in this list, but Flytec will work for a fraction of the cost. Don't feel pressured to pay higher prices for lower quality.

• Description

The Maxboat is a catamaran type boat with a hull shape that ensures perfect flotation and stability in any event even in extreme conditions (wind and waves).

It is equipped with 2 engines allowing to sail more than 7 km/h at full load. The control of these engines is done independently of each other which allows to steer the boat.

This feature ensures perfect maneuverability of the Maxboat and gives it the ability to turn on the spot. It is a major asset when the setting of the lines must be very precise (in border or under foliage). This new technology is the ultimate in remote control, it solves the problems of unfortunate interference that cause the opening of the hatch or the lines drop at the wrong time.

Also, when multiple users are in range, it is no longer necessary to make a quartz change to adjust the radio frequencies. The allocation of the different channels is done automatically.

Finally, this new technology no longer requires an antenna on the boat, which greatly facilitates access under the lower branches. Thanks to this new remote control, the range of transmission can go up to 500m, which makes it possible to exclude any risk of loss of control.

For its protection, the remote control is accompanied by a transparent plastic cover that allows its use in case of rain. It is important to never use the remote in the rain without this protection. The equipment (varios and servos) have been specially developed for Anatec and have a much better reliability compared to standard equipment.

The Maxboat has a priming tank (divided into 2 compartments) placed in a central position which gives the boat an excellent stability even when loaded.

The remote control allows a progressive opening of the hatches which allows a watering of the fishing zone. The 2 hatches can open independently which allows precise and targeted baiting.

The stainless steel primer can hold up to 5kg of bait (2 x 2.5kg) and can be used to carry any kind of primer (boilies, seeds, pellets, flours). The Maxboat is also equipped with a rear line dropper that facilitates the line installation on the boat and allows a more straight downhill rig installation at the bottom of the water, minimizing the risk of entanglements.

For use at night or in bad weather, the Maxboat is equipped with 6 ultra-powerful white diodes at the front and 2 red diodes at the rear to identify the position of the boat, even at very great distance.

The Maxboat is also equipped with a digital voltage controller.

Anatec Advanced Catamaran

If you need to do any self-maintenance work on the bank, the main boat lid removes in seconds, giving you plenty of room to work.

The rear line dropper is designed for dropping your rig away from the main bait, but you can still place the rig inside the hopper to drop the rig with the bait.

It is powered by two 6volt 12amp lead-acid batteries, allowing it to run continuously for 2+ hours.

Key Features:

• New LED Battery Display on the lid of the boat
• Dual Independent Hoppers
• Rear Line Dropper for your rig
• Digital Powerful 2.4ghz Radio Gear meaning no interference and working range over 500 meters
• You’re able to remove the boat lid in just a few seconds which exposes all internal parts, great for self-maintenance
• Twin, powerful motors make this boat one of the fastest

Also available with brushless motors and lithium batteries. This boat weighs less and goes much faster.

Bait Boat Fish Finders, The Best Fish Finders For Bait Boats

We explore some of the best bait boat fish finders available on the market today, from budget options to high end integrated fish finders for bait boats..

We’ll also cover the different attachments available for connecting a fish finder not specifically designed for bait boats.

Technology in carp fishing has come a long way over the last decade, not only can you utilise a bait boat to accurately bait and present your rigs at astounding distances, but you can now use a bait boat fish finder to locate fish, underwater features and clear patches on the lakebed.

All of this is designed to maximise your chances of catching while on the bank. After all, modern carp fishing is about gaining every edge you can.

Fish finders are becoming an increasingly popular accessory for today’s bait boat anglers. They range in price from around £100 for a basic entry-level fish finder to around £800 for the bells and whistles branded versions.

Which bait boat fish finder is right for you? It really boils down to personal choice and budget. Essentially, they all do the same thing, but the most expensive versions claim to do it better and more accurately.

Here we take a look at some of the best options available on the market today.

Navigate to:

• Budget Fish Finders
• Premium Fish Finders

Bait Boats With Fish Finders Included

Budget bait boat fish finders.

Starting with the popular universal bait boat fish finders available on eBay from either TMC Tackle or Horizon Fish Finders, both options use the same base Lucky branded fish finder as the unit but use different fitting options to attach the fish finder to the bait boat.

Horizon Standard Fish Finder

The majority of anglers want a fish finder for the absolute essentials of fishing. Usually, fish finders are used for finding a clear spot to fish on and to explore the depth of the swim they’re fishing in.

The Horizon suits these exact requirements and is the perfect entry-level fish finder for your bait boat with a DIY fitting.

This fish finder is universal and will fit most bait boats. The fitting is incredibly simple via an arm bracket which is attached to your boat via self-adhesive pads.

The Horizon actually boasts a huge range of up to 400 meters and weighs less than 300 grams, this bait boat fish finder is ideal for the mobile angler who is looking for a basic solution to map lakebed features and water depth, which will serve you incredibly well when fishing new waters and swims and will certainly save you a lot of time and effort with the marker rod.

You can read our full review of this fish finder here .

Price: £114

Universal Bait Boat Fish Finder

This kit was originally designed by Bait Boat World and the idea was so popular that it was copied by many sellers such as TMC Tackle.

This innovative bait boat fish finder kit transforms the popular Lucky Fish Finder ( which we’ve reviewed here ) by extending the fish finder range and using a simple kit to attach the wireless fish finder to your bait boat, adding some stability and an improved range of distance to vastly improve on the budget model.

This fish finder will fit most bait boats and offers a very simple fitting via self-adhesive pads. This really is the simplest plug and play fish finder available on the market today, with no expert expertise needed to get up and running. Simply insert the batteries, attach to your bait boat and away you go.

With a range of around 200 meters in good angling conditions, ample battery life and a compact, lightweight handset, this bait boat fish finder is the ideal choice when looking for a budget plug and play option.

This handset is more advanced than the Horizon Standard Fish Finder and for a similar cost, we think this is the best budget option on the market today, and it’s clear why it has been so popular over the years. Available in both colour and black and white display options.

You can learn more about this universal fish finder here .

Price: £129 with free UK postage

Lucky Bait Boat Fish Finder

This colour fish finder packs some serious features for such a reasonable price.

Water depth, water temperature, fish location, adjustable sensitivity and zoom, fish location alarm and bottom contour readings along with an impressive range of over 300 meters make this a great budget fish finder.

The colour handset with the Lucky Fish Finder is actually very impressive considering the price of the set, but you will need to make modifications to your bait boat to get the sonar to fit in the correct place for optimal performance, this is standard with most fish finders on the market.

The Sonar will also need a power source from the boat, but there are many YouTube videos that can help you connect the fish finder up to your boat, or you can check online to find independent traders that can complete this for you.

Price: £169 with free UK postage

Deeper Pro Plus Smart Fish Finder

The Deeper Smart Fish Finders were initially released to offer anglers without a bait boat the chance to use fish finders in their angling.

The cricket ball sized and shaped fish finder can be attached to the line on your rod and cast out into the water, then by slowly reeling in, you get a detailed view of your swim through the app on your phone.

However, now there are brackets available for the Deeper Pro Plus fish finders which allows you to mount them onto any bait boat. This makes them a great option to be used with either method, especially with the number of waters where bait boats are banned.

The Deeper Pro Plus has a great number of features with Wi-Fi and GPS working together to ensure great connectivity to the bank, while also mapping the lakes you fish in memory for you to look at using desktop software and mobile app called Fish Deeper, available on iOS and Android.

The Deeper Pro Plus offers 100m connectivity, and is a very versatile option for your angling, although it may not be suitable for fishing at huge distances. Read our detailed review of this fish finder here.

Price: £239.99

You will need to purchase the bracket to fit the Deeper fish finder to your bait boat. You can buy universal brackets for £17.99 via eBay.

iBobber Fish Finder

The iBobber follows a similar format as the Deeper Fish Finders, in which it can be used on a bracket to be attached to a bait boat, or it can be cast out with a rod.

The iBobber also uses a mobile phone app to view detailed information about the swim you’re fishing in as opposed to a standalone receiver unit.

It can be used for depths up to 135ft and has a connectivity distance of 100m.

The app has fish markers, depth indicators and waterbed mapping, and the app has a couple of useful features like a lunar calendar and up to date temperature and weather readings.

You can buy the iBobber from Amazon using the button below.

Price: from £75

FishSpy Fish Finder and Underwater Camera

The FishSpy features both a fish finder and an underwater camera, but for this article, we’re going to focus mainly on the fish finder features of the product.

The FishSpy can be attached to a bait boat with an attachment arm like this one here, or it can be cast out with a rod. The FishSpy is used in conjunction with an app that is free to download on iOS and Android devices, and on the app, you can view both the underwater sonar signals and the underwater camera.

The FishSpy is incredibly compact, and it was initially designed to be small enough to fit inside a tackle box. It can be used to a range of up to 100m, the phone app graphics are incredibly impressive, and the fish finder is very user-friendly as a whole. You can buy the FishSpy on Amazon using the button below.

Price: £59.99

Premium Bait Boat Fish Finders

For those anglers looking for a more advanced solution, then the Toslon Fish Finders are the best fish finders that money can buy without a shadow of a doubt. They come with more advanced features such as GPS tracking, meaning you’ll be able to make the most of every fishing situation and be confident that your fish finder is completely reliable and accurate.

Please note: These fish finders are not plug-and-play. You will need the sonar to be wired into your bait boat, which requires expert fitting. You can attempt this yourself, but we recommend you seek out professional help when installing these fish finders. You can easily damage your boat if the sonar is not correctly installed, and attempting to complete these upgrades yourself can void any warranty on your boat.

We recommend using The Cabin TS LTD as your supplier for these fish finders. Simply purchase the fish finder and they offer an installation service for an additional fee. Simply send your bait boat to them or drop it off and they will take care of the rest.

Toslon TF520 Bait Boat Fish Finder

The Toslon range of fish finders is considered to be some of the best within the angling community. They pack some fantastic features and offer an unrivalled mapping of the lakebed below.

The TF500 is the entry-level Toslon option but it still offers a range of features which make it great value for money and it’s more than adequate for upgrading your bait boat.

This fish finder has a 2.4ghz radio frequency with a max range of around 300 meters in good angling conditions. It offers a 4.3-inch colour screen with a good resolution and if you purchase the fish finder from The Cabin TS LTD on eBay, you’ll receive an external battery kit worth £39.99.

The Toslon TF500 features fish markers, water temperature gauges, alerts for shallow water, fish and low battery, and it is supplied in a hard carry case for protection.

We recommend using The Cabin TS LTD on eBay as your supplier for this fish finder as they supply detailed instructions on how to install this fish finder yourself. If you’re not comfortable trying the fitting yourself, they will install this fish finder for you for a fee, which we highly recommend as you get the peace of mind that the unit is correctly installed and ready to go.

Price: £599.99 (Free battery kit & tripod included)

Toslon TF640 Bait Boat Fish Finder

The Toslon TF640 is a fish finder and GPS in one. The GPS feature allows you to store over 100 locations on as many lakes as you can fish, allowing you to send out your boat to the exact same spot over and over again, essential when targeting small areas of the lake or when baiting small areas for heavily pressured carp. This accuracy can pay dividends when fishing tight against snags or margins, and can be the difference between catching and blanking on a tough day!

The colour display offers the high resolution you would expect from a fish finder in this price bracket. With a range of over 300 meters and depth of over 80 meters, it’s the perfect companion to cover all angling situations. The 2.4ghz digital frequency ensures you will not clash with any other anglers using fish finders on your water, water temperature indicators, distance indicators, boat speed and alarms signalling everything from lost signal to your boat arriving back at the bank.

This bait boat fish finder is, without doubt, the best all-round option if you have the budget available. It’s built to last and the array of features will ensure you get that edge when mapping the lakebed, searching for wary carp and presenting your baits with complete accuracy time, and time again.

Price: £799.99

Toslon TF740 Bait Boat Fish Finder

The Rolls Royce of fish finders, the Toslon TF740 is the ultimate bait boat accessory. The TF740 offers a more detailed fish finder with a host of features, advanced GPS + autopilot all in one!

Load the boat, activate the autopilot and the advanced technology will navigate your boat to the exact same spot over and over again.

Unlike other fish finders, the TF740 is designed specifically for bait boats, this fish finder acts as your bait boat operating system, allowing total precision with your bait placement, removing the need for fiddly controls and instead utilising GPS as a foolproof bait and rig placement method.

It can accurately map the lakebed, record water temperature, water depth, distance, features on the lakebed and fish sat in your swim. It is the most advanced bait boat fish finder available on the market today.

The Toslon TF740 features a detailed, high-resolution 5-inch colour screen, a massive 300 meters plus range and 2.4ghz operating frequency to prevent any connectivity issues. The TF740 truly is the ultimate fish finder for the serious angler.

The best place to purchase the Toslon TF740 is The Cabin TS LTD on eBay. However, it is important to note that the cost you see on their listing, and below, is for the fish finder and the fitting to an Anatec Catamaran.

Fitting to other boats is possible, but it’s best to contact them first before purchasing.

Price: £1699.99 (Supplied & Fitted)

Raymarine Dragonfly 5 Pro & 7 Pro Fish Finder For Bait Boats

Raymarine is well-renowned for its echo-sounding technology for boats out at sea, however, this technology has been harnessed into the fishing community for use with bait boats.

It’s arguably the best fish finding technology on the market, with the super high-end sonar display a key feature.

Raymarine’s use of wide-spectrum CHIRP technology allows the fish finder to send more signals through the water, allowing for a more accurate and detailed view of the lakebed and its inhabitants, which is easy to view on Raymarine’s superb app called the Wi-Fish.

This app can be seen in action on multiple Korda videos , used with the Carplounge RT4 bait boat , and is incredibly stable due to the Wi-Fi technology in the fish finders.

The Wi-Fish app has been a real hit due to the number of features within it. You can pause, rewind and even zoom into the sonar through the app, as well as take high-quality pictures and videos to be reviewed later on. You can also live stream the sonar and GPS, as well as save it for future reference and use, meaning once you have mapped out the lake, a copy will always be in your grasp.

The Dragonfly fish finders consist of the Dragonfly 5 Pro and the Dragonfly 7 Pro. There is no difference in quality or features with either, as the numbers represent the size of the LCD screen, so the Dragonfly 5 Pro is the best option for bait boats as it’s the cheaper version.

Price: approx £350

You can now get some great deals on bait boats that include fish finders as part of a package. Here are some of our favourite deals.

Lake Reaper Bait Boat With Fish Finder

The Lake Reaper bait boat offers you an unbelievable option to secure a quality bait boat, with an inclusive fish finder for less than you would pay for a basic model with other companies.

For this reason, The Lake Reaper has become one of the most popular boats on the market, with over 1,250 models sold. The fish finder incorporated into the bait boat features temperature and depth ranges, fish alerts, 450m distance range and a coloured display receiver set.

The boat itself features a bait capacity of 1kg, a run time of up to 3 hours and many other features that are usually found on much more expensive boats.

The Lake Reaper bait boat comes also in a camouflage design and either are fantastic budget bait boats that come with the FF918C colour screen fish finder as part of a package deal.

Read our full Lake Reaper bait boat review here.

Price: £549.99 (with fish finder included)

You can also buy the Lake Reaper with fish finder in black for the same price.

Waverunner MK4 Bait Boat + Toslon TF640 Echo & GPS

The Waverunner MK4 is considered one of the best all-round bait boats on the market today. You can now buy this bait boat with a fitted Toslon TF640 fish finder and GPS from The Cabin.

Price: £1744.00 (with fish finder included)

Anatec Catamaran Bait Boat with Fish Finder

The Cabin on eBay is the place to secure the super-impressive Anatec Catamaran complete with a Toslon TF640 fish finder. The Catamaran is heralded as one of the best bait boats of all time, proven by its appearances on BBC and National Geographic TV programmes.

For the full rundown on the Toslon TF640, check out the section above. The Catamaran has dual hoppers with a capacity of over 3kg, a rig release, 500m of connectivity and much more.

The only place to secure this bait boat and fish finder package is on The Cabin’s eBay store.

Price: £1948.00 (with fish finder included)

Anatec PAC Bait Boat + TF500 Fish Finder

Anatec has a much more affordable model available in their range, and The Cabin has incorporated this into a fish finder package too, for the less than £1,000.

Again, the review on the Toslon TF500 can be found in the previous section, and that’s the chosen model for the Anatec PAC.

This bait boat, while smaller than the Catamaran, fights well above its weight with a 1kg hopper, a 3-hour battery life, a simple controller and bright LED lights adorning the hull of the boat.

The Anatec PAC is a stunning bait boat without the fish finder, but the inclusion of the Toslon TF500 makes it one of the best options on the market, especially for UK waters.

Price: £995.00 (including fish finder)

The bait boat fish finders above are all more than capable of covering most angling situations. If you are just starting out, then the budget fish finders mentioned will certainly do the job and give you a new world of opportunities. They are capable of accurately measuring depth, underwater features and fish-holding areas, and the bait boats will allow you to reach areas previously unreachable.

Use these fish finders as an aspect of your angling armoury, rather than using them as fish finding tools. Using them to get a better understanding of the lakebed and the waters you regularly fish will help you become a better angler as you start to understand more about the fish and the water you are fishing.

The more advanced Toslon fish finders are ideal for those larger waters, especially the European reservoirs where bait placement and long-range fishing is essential to ensure you’re making the most of your limited time on the bank.
