Bait Droppers
Designed primarily for use with the Baitboat to enhance 100% particle deployment. The Baitdroppers can carry your rig as well as particles and after despatch the Baitdroppers are towed back behind the Baitboat.
The Bait Droppers are designed to use with the Baitboat and to drop 100% of particles including your rig, if you wish.
Place you particles into the Dropper with or without your rig. It is advisable that the last inch or so is filled with larger bait to ensure that the particles do not fall out. Open the relevant door you wish to place the Dropper in and pass the Dropper in through the door concerned and close it, ensuring that the open end of the Dropper is facing the back of the boat. Locate the cord with the rubber ring on and pass the rubber ring over the aerial. You are now ready to use the Bait Dropper. When the door opens the Dropper will fall out of the hopper, empty it’s contents, and be trailed back behind the boat.
Bivvy Light
This is a light operated from either a push button or by a pressure pad, powered by a separate 12 volt supply (not Included). The pressure pad is placed at the side of the bedchair and the push button at the side of your pillow on the bedchair. When you have a run in the middle of the night you swing your legs off the bedchair you touch the pressure pad and the light is switched “on” until you stand on the pressure pad again. The same results can be achieved by using the push button. Therefore you can switch the light “on” with the pressure pad and turn it “off” with the push button and visa versa.
NEW Solar Panel
The solar panel charger can be used with any of the boats, to charge both the transmitter and the boat at the bankside. It will still charge in overcast or wet conditions as it is completely waterproof. This is an excellent alternative to the bankside charger as it is light to transport and no additional power supply is required. To use with the Procat you will also require the 'Solar panel adaptor head'.
Deluxe Solar Panel
This solar panel is designed to pack away the same as a briefcase. When opened it has two external legs which open out to support the panel at approximately 45%. It comes complete with leads the charge the boat and transmitter either separately or at the same time.
