Longline Fishing

We have designed in-house an accurate kontiki navigation system that will operate globally, seamlessly and flawlessly to keep your Kontiki steering in the direction you want it.
What’s more the bulletfishing®  is unaffected by iron sand which is present on many of our New Zealand West Coast beaches and lost GPS signals will not stop you from fishing.

Why not have your Kontiki stop when it comes across a school of fish? We have developed a kontiki that uses a sonar fish finder and we have patented it!!When the kontiki is travelling out and comes across a school of fish the sonar circuit will determine the size of the school and if the biomass signal is great enough the kontiki will carry on until the hook section is over the school and the kontiki motor will stop.

No need to send the kontiki out over the horizon past all the fish anymore when you can stop right over them.
