Unlike traditional payload releases that carry hooks and lines, the BR1-S holds \u003cem\u003eloose bait\u003c\/em\u003e in a small rotating container—letting you accurately chum or pre-bait a selected fishing location before deploying your rigged hooks. For Australian drone anglers who scout spots with saved GPS coordinates, the BR1-S turns your SplashDrone 4 into a precision chumming platform.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Pre-Baiting and Why Use the BR1-S?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-baiting (also called chumming or burley deployment) is the practice of releasing small amounts of bait—pilchard chunks, bread, pellets or minced fish—over a fishing spot to attract and hold target species before you present your hooks. In traditional shore fishing, anglers throw burley by hand or use burley pots. The SwellPro BR1-S brings this technique to drone fishing, allowing you to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttract fish to saved GPS spots:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drop burley precisely over a productive reef, channel or gutter you've already scouted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHold fish in the zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep target species feeding in a small area, increasing your hookup rate when you deploy rigged baits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScout before committing rigs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-bait a new spot, wait 10–15 minutes, then deploy your hooks when fish move in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-spot strategy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-bait several locations in sequence, then return to the most productive zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the BR1-S Bait Release Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR1-S is a \u003cstrong\u003emechanical rotating container\u003c\/strong\u003e that attaches to the SplashDrone 4's payload mounting system. You fill the 60 mm × 50 mm bait chamber with loose burley before takeoff, fly to your saved GPS position, then remotely trigger the release via the SplashDrone 4 controller. The container rotates 90°, dumping the bait contents precisely where you want them. The mechanism resets automatically, ready for the next flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIP67 Waterproof \u0026amp; Stainless Steel Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR1-S is rated \u003cstrong\u003eIP67 waterproof\u003c\/strong\u003e—fully sealed against dust and protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. The housing and rotating mechanism are constructed from \u003cstrong\u003emarine-grade stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, preventing corrosion from saltwater, burley oils and UV exposure. Unlike hobby-grade releases, the BR1-S is built for repeated saltwater use in Australian coastal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLightweight \u0026amp; Minimal Payload Impact\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just \u003cstrong\u003e133 g\u003c\/strong\u003e, the BR1-S adds minimal weight to your SplashDrone 4, preserving flight time and leaving payload capacity for the main bait release when you switch to rigged fishing.
