What is a priming boat?

A bait boat is a small remote-controlled boat specially designed to help anglers precisely place bait, bait or other objects in the water. It is used to facilitate fishing by enabling anglers toreach remote or hard-to-reachplaces from shore.

To use a bait boat, you must first load it with your bait. Then, using the remote control supplied, you can steer the boat through the water, choosing the direction and speed of travel. Once you've reached the desired location, you can trigger the release of the bait, which is then dispersed in the water. This attracts fish and encourages them to move closer to your fishing zone.

Criteria for choosing a priming boat

When comparing bait boats, there are a number of features to consider. For the Anatec brand in particular, here are a few points to consider:

• Range: This is the maximum distance you can control the boat from the remote control. A longer range lets you explore more remote areas. For Anatec, the remote control range is up to 300m.
• Battery life: It's important to know how long the boat can run before it needs recharging. A longer battery life means you can fish for longer periods without having to recharge frequently.
• Battery type: Directly related to autonomy, priming boats can be fitted with two different types of battery: lead and lithium. Lithium batteries are always preferred over lead batteries, because of their greater autonomy (up to 120 min. vs. 90 min. for lead), shorter recharging time, lighter weight, low maintenance requirements, lower discharge rate, etc...
• Load capacity: This refers to the amount of groundbait or bait the boat can carry. A higher load capacity allows you to carry more gear, which is useful if you're planning extended fishing sessions. Capacities range from 1.5kg to 5kg of transportable bait.
• Speed: Some priming boats can reach higher speeds than others. If you want to lay down your groundbait quickly over a longer distance, a higher speed may be an important criterion.
• Reliability and durability: It's essential to choose a quality priming boat that's resistant to water and outdoor conditions. Anatec boats are renowned for their reliability and durability.
