listed next to air conditioning units, underwater cameras, sonar units.....

you could argue the drone it just the next in evolution of a bait boat...

I had a boat, used it once and thought what the hell am I doing and promptly sold it

whilst the above are not for me I think everything has its place

Technology is really the only advancement (?) left in carp angling.

As with BB's I guess; a useful tool in the right hands, a menace in the wrong.

I'd liked to have been watching the screen for the one I saw recently, as the 22mm'er went whizzing close past.

Same level of nonsense as a bait boat to me. Thankfully the lakes I fish would never allow something like this in a million years.

If they did I'd be on my way. The only way to avoid all this remote controlled rubbish is to fish lakes managed with the same outlook on fishing as yourself.

Available to the United States and New Zealand

This is really meant for sea fishing for getting big baits out past the surf etc. Like for shark fishing etc.

Them sort of people also use strange torpedo gps boats to take out long lines and big baits for the same.

But listed alongside their new bite alarm range suggests they know exactly what market they are aiming at!

They should not be allowed for the general public to buy they should only be allowed for certain services to use and charge a very expensive license to use one carp fishing has had it tbh

I think that size does actually need a license to fly it
The mini drones or undear about a kilo (I think)you don't need a licence

I'm sure a 4oz lead could take one out of the sky nicely 😉

Think it is immaterial anyway, most fisheries ban them completely.....and if these do start to be used they will all ban them!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
