In traditional shore fishing, anglers throw burley by hand or use burley pots.

Each position is commanded separately from the transmitter — the pilot decides when and where each bait drops. The two positions are \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e released simultaneously; they operate independently, on separate pilot commands, at different moments during the same flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom one battery charge, you can now execute two separate bait placements: position one at reef edge A, position two at channel edge B, with the drone flying between them and releasing on command. The release unit weighs just \u003cstrong\u003e100 g\u003c\/strong\u003e, carries a \u003cstrong\u003e3.5 kg total payload capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e, and is rated \u003cstrong\u003eIP67 waterproof\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same protection class as the compatible drones it mounts to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fisherman FD1+, Fisherman MAX (FD2), Fisherman FD3, SplashDrone 4+ (SD4+). \u003cstrong\u003eNot compatible with the original Fisherman FD1.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Two Independent Drops Change Your Drone Fishing Game\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStandard drone fishing operates on a one-bait-per-flight model: take off, fly to the target, release, fly home, reload and repeat. It is highly effective — but every additional bait placement costs another full flight cycle, burning another battery charge and consuming more of the session window. When fish are actively feeding, wasted time between drops matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dual Bait Release removes that constraint. Two baits go out on one flight. Two separate drops happen on two independently commanded positions. The drone returns to hand with an empty release unit, ready for reload — rather than needing to turn around after just a single drop. For anglers who fish with two rods, share the drone between multiple people in the same session, or rely on a pre-baiting strategy before dropping a rigged bait, the Dual Bait Release is a fundamental upgrade to how drone fishing is conducted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key point is worth reinforcing: the two positions are \u003cstrong\u003eindependently controlled\u003c\/strong\u003e. You hover the drone at location A and command position one — bait one drops. You then fly to location B and command position two — bait two drops. The interval and distance between the two drops is entirely your choice: seconds apart or minutes apart, metres apart or hundreds of metres apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Fishing Strategies the Dual Release Makes Possible\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStrategy 1 — Pre-Bait First, Rigged Bait Second in One Flight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLoad a burley parcel, chum bomb or berley cage into position one of the Dual Bait Release, and your main rigged bait into position two. Fly to the target zone — a reef edge, a deepwater channel, a bommie system — and release the burley first. It sinks and begins dispersing scent and particles into the current, creating a corridor that drifts down-current toward feeding fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithout landing, without reloading, and without burning a second battery, fly to your desired bait-drop position — which might be the same GPS coordinate or 50–80 m down-current where the berley trail is already drifting — and release the rigged bait from position two directly into the chum lane you just created. Fish following the scent corridor up-current encounter your rigged bait right in the slick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis technique is among the most effective known strategies for offshore snapper, mulloway and yellowtail kingfish. Getting a rigged bait into the slick immediately behind fresh berley — without a second flight or a second battery — is a meaningful tactical advantage. Without the Dual Bait Release, it requires two separate flights and at least two battery cycles. With it, it happens in one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStrategy 2 — Two Bait Drops to Two Separate Locations in One Flight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLoad two separately rigged baits — different presentations, different species of bait, or simply the same rig in two places — and use a single flight to cover two different structures or two different positions on the same structure. Fly to reef edge A and command position one. Fly 100–200 m to channel edge B and command position two. Fly home. Both rods are now in the water, covering two distinct areas simultaneously, on one battery charge and one flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anglers fishing remote beaches or headlands where carrying extra batteries is impractical, this approach effectively doubles the number of baits deployed per session without doubling battery consumption. If you are fishing with a mate, each angler gets their bait deployed in the same flight window — halving the time spent waiting between drops. The geographic flexibility is significant: the two positions can be a few metres apart or several hundred metres apart. The drone flies between them in the same flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStrategy 3 — Test Two Presentations Simultaneously\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLoad a different bait or rig into each position and deploy both to approximately the same location in the same flight — for example, a snapper ledge or reef edge. Drop a live yakka (yellowtail scad) from position one. Fly 20 seconds and 30 m further, drop a dead whole pilchard rig from position two. Both presentations are now fishing simultaneously in the same general area. The first rod to receive a bite tells you what the fish want on that particular day, tide and season — without needing a separate flight for each test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply the same logic to sinker weights (heavy vs. light, to determine which holds better in the current), hook styles (circle vs. J), or bait species. Rather than making separate flights over a session to trial different approaches, you can run side-by-side comparisons two at a time. For species like yellowtail kingfish — which can be selective on live versus dead presentations depending on conditions — or snapper that favour squid over pilchard on certain tides, this kind of simultaneous A\/B testing is genuinely useful, not just theoretically efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaterproof Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP67\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Total Payload Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75 × 50 × 37.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRelease Positions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 (independently controlled)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow Battery Payload Release\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable; disabled by default in the SwellPro app\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFisherman FD1+, Fisherman MAX (FD2), Fisherman FD3, SplashDrone 4+ (SD4+)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNOT Compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal Fisherman FD1 (first-generation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual Bait Release × 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e3.5 kg Total Payload Capacity — Enough for Two Serious Bait Rigs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3.5 kg total payload capacity covers the combined weight of both release positions — both baits, both sinkers, both traces and all clips and swivels combined must not exceed 3.5 kg. There is no specified per-position limit; the critical figure is the combined total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, two drone fishing rigs with baits and sinkers typically weigh between 0.5 kg and 2.0 kg combined — well within the 3.5 kg limit even on the heavier end of standard fishing setups. A demanding dual configuration — a whole bonito on a 10\/0 circle hook with a 150 g running sinker in position one, plus a large mullet with 100 g of lead in position two — would sit at roughly 1.5–2.0 kg combined, still leaving substantial headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3.5 kg total capacity also aligns precisely with the Fisherman MAX (FD2)'s confirmed maximum payload rating. When the Dual Bait Release is fitted to the MAX, the drone's lifting limit and the release unit's capacity are perfectly matched — no capacity is wasted in either direction. The combination of SwellPro's heaviest drone and its largest-capacity bait release unit gives you the most capable drone fishing platform in the SwellPro range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIP67 Waterproofing — Same Rating as the Drone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dual Bait Release is rated \u003cstrong\u003eIP67 waterproof\u003c\/strong\u003e, matching the IP67 certification of the compatible SwellPro Fisherman series drones. IP67 certifies protection against complete immersion in up to one metre of water for thirty minutes. For a component that regularly contacts salt water — surf launches, wave spray on retrieval, wet beach landings in dumping swell — this is the correct standard for the conditions drone fishing demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice: a surf launch where the drone briefly touches a breaking wave, a retrieve through heavy spray, or a landing on wet sand in a strong swell — none of these events will compromise an IP67-sealed release unit. The electronics, servo mechanism and connectors inside remain protected regardless of incidental water contact during normal fishing operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaintain this protection by using only genuine SwellPro bait release components on your Fisherman series drone. The drone itself is sealed to IP67; fitting a lower-rated accessory at the payload interface creates a vulnerability in otherwise fully sealed equipment. Genuine parts, genuine protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow Battery Payload Release — Safety Feature Explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dual Bait Release includes a \u003cstrong\u003eLow Battery Payload Release\u003c\/strong\u003e safety function. When enabled in the SwellPro app, this feature automatically releases both payloads if the drone's battery voltage drops to a critically low level mid-flight. The logic is straightforward: a heavy combined payload in a low-battery situation may prevent the drone from completing a return-to-home flight safely. Releasing the payload immediately and significantly reduces the drone's power demand, giving it the best possible chance of returning to the operator on the remaining battery capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis feature is disabled by default in the SwellPro app.\u003c\/strong\u003e The operator must actively enable it in the settings. When disabled, a low-battery alert triggers the drone's standard return-to-home protocol; it will attempt to return with the payload still attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether to enable this function depends on your fishing style and risk tolerance:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnable it\u003c\/strong\u003e if you regularly fly near-maximum payload at longer ranges, where a low-battery emergency at distance could prevent the drone from making it home under load.
