... Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi All, As per title, what would be a good starter Bait Boat for Beginners? Myself looking, and a friend... We were looking at the Actor Boats, but seem to be sold out everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpbell_ll Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Might want to have a little think on this baitboats are well over hyped so are fish finders yes they work but the don't add anything that your average angler hasn't already got, although if you must better to go with a known brand as they do have their problems, think the lake reaper is said to be a good un at fairish prices and they are made by a RC vehicle seller? Be warned though myself and a guy was talking last year and we are sure boats are putting the more wary fish on guard i fish smallish waters and i think guys really are pushing it with a boat on waters under 10 acres.

Thats mainly what I'm thinking, but a water we are both on has a few hidden overhanging trees and we know carp love under them, would be impossible cast, but a boat easy.

MickyLoves Fishing Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Wouldn't Bother with an Actor Bait Boat. I have just had one of the New Ones the Pro. hopper Door issues, Wiring issues and they just don't give a stinky winky to be fair. they hid the issues well as I have had a few say they have had the same issues. I am gutted because it was a perfect boat for the budget that allowed me but Boatman UK Service is not great Spoke with Future Carping who are the original sellers for the Actors I believe and even though they did not sell me the boat they are looking at it for me and seeing if they can get it working for me, cant remember the chaps name who is the owner but he has just charge me shipping. I hope they can fix it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
