Hi, Morgan here from Paul's Fishing Systems. Here we are at Muriwai beach in West Auckland
trailing our new drone fishing winch. This is our prototype but we're out there just
seeing how it goes using the AEE Condor Fisherman, setting our gear out between 600 and 800 meters.
As you see it's quite a compact unit, we've made it to fit into any standard rod holder
so it takes up less room than a conventional winch and reel
runs off any 12 volt power supply. It has a pulse function, has a ratchet,
quite a large capacity, we've got over a kilometre of 60 pound braid on there as you can see it's
hardly even filled. You can get a good couple of k's of 80 or even 100 pound braid on there
If you're interested in one of our new drone winches get in touch with the shop
register your interest - bear in mind that this is the prototype so it will be a little while yet
before we have them available. Testing so far has been very positive. The Condor Drone can
take the line out nice and easy, it's got a good free run on the spool,
retrieve speed is around 3.6 - 4 kilometres depending on how full the spool is, which is ideal
while we were at Muriwai we caught up with a couple of our customers,
here's Paul using his Shimano Beastmaster that he recently bought from us
now Paul actually sets his gear out using the AEE Condor as well now Paul has also got one of the
lithium ion electric reel batteries connected to his rod that you'll see,
so you get a lot more power out of these batteries than a standard lead acid, they run a slightly
higher voltage, they don't taper off as quickly as the lead acid so you get a longer run time out of
these lithium batteries, and they're actually better for the real they run more efficient.
So is that why you you brought the Beastmaster? Yeah it was literally just for this this and the
jigging. Oh yeah, the lithium battery looks really cool with it too. Oh yeah and I've put my new grip
on the rod. Yeah I noticed I was like wow look at that I like how it does that by itself that's cool
so no matter how you want to run your gear we've got what you need. You can either give us a call
come in store or go to fishingtacklesale.co.nz or send us an email we're happy to help.
I think that's a sign
The saying goes that 10 percent of the fishermen catch 90 percent of the fish, now these
10 percent of the fishermen are our customers. So if you want to catch fish like this, get in touch.
This healthy snapper tipped the scales at just over 22 pounds
A lot of these bigger snappers sit just behind those back breakers, typically between 400 and
800 meters out is a good distance if you want to target these ones, just beyond surf casting
distance so ideally you do need a drone, kite, or kontiki to get yourself out there,
especially out on the west coast where you're not going to be taking a boat or a kayak out
Here at Paul's Fishing Systems we are the world leaders in
alternative land-based fishing methods, so no matter what you're trying to do, or what your
budget is, we have something that will suit you. We can get you fishing to catch fish like this
