7 Things To Consider When Choosing A Drone For Sharks

Payload Capacity

When choosing the right drone's bait capacity, you should factor in not just the weight of the bait, but everything included in the terminal tackle, add steel leaders, weights, and drop rigs, and you're easily pushing 4+ lbs.

400-Yard Drop In 2 Munites

No time wasted paddling, just fly, drop and fish, cast out more baits and get more runs on a day.

Kayak-level Bait Capacity

AJ Rotondella

"As someone who spent over a decade paddling baits out in a kayak, SwellPro have been a complete game changer. Baits can be set in a fraction of the time, which means more fishing time for clients. Now I can preserve all of my energy for handling and releasing the shark safely. Not only is fishing easier, but loading and unloading gear has never been so simple. No more dragging an awkward little boat to and from the beach every night. SwellPro has really changed everything."

Josh Neille

"We used to have to paddle the baits out which was time consuming and dangerous, also you are limited by the ocean swell, that’s a thing of the past now with the drone all weather and ocean conditions are fishable and I don’t even have to leave my daughters side on the beach or get wet, and don’t have to risk flipping the kayak and putting a shark hook in myself."

"Without SwellPro, I would be stuck catching smaller fish. I’ve always dreamed of catching a shark bigger than me and SwellPro has made my dream a reality. To date, I have caught 10 sharks that are 5-8 feet long. This drone gets used almost every weekend and is very reliable, and has brought me and my friends and family together on the beach and have shared experiences that would not have been possible."
