Introducing the world's first autopilot fishing drone kontiki
The AeroKontiki is the world's first, most advanced and most powerful fishing drone used to haul and deliver a 25 hook baited long line up to 1200 meters out to sea. After delivering the baits, it uses a sophisticated autopilot system that returns to its takeoff location.

Why use an AeroKontiki fishing drone for long line fishing
Using an AeroKontiki is a new and practical way of beach long line fishing, by simply delivering a baited line deep into the sea. This is a first of a new family of systems to add another interesting dimension to recreational fishing. The AeroKontiki is a serious fishing machine specifically engineered for this purpose, and its packaged as a complete aerial fishing solution.
The concept is simple. Lift up a baited long line, carry it 1200 meters or so into sea, drop it off, and return to the beach and land by itself. Once done, you can relax, do what you love doing, and then pull in your catch from 1000 meters away using the electric game reel.
