AK FishMaps™

  • AK FishMaps transforms your Aerokontiki controller into a smarter fishing tool by adding real marine chart visibility directly to your display. See seabed contours, depth changes, and underwater structure before every flight, allowing you to plan bait drops with intention instead of guesswork. Designed specifically for drone fishing, AK FishMaps helps you fish more efficiently, reduce failed drops, and make better decisions on the water.

  • Aerokontiki proprietary braid engineered specifically for drone fishing. Designed to sink beneath surface traffic where boats may cross, reducing interference during long drops. Features a tight, high-strength weave to minimise hauling drag and improve durability.

    • Specific gravity 1.10 (seawater 1.025) for controlled sinking

    • Tight, strong weave for reduced drag

    • High abrasion resistance

    • 165lb breaking strength

    • UHMWPE blended with Aramid

    • Supplied on 2000m spools

  • Heavy-duty mono line designed for efficient longline setups, making trace spacing predictable and reducing tangles during deployment and retrieval.

    • 75kg breaking strain

    • Stoppers every 2 metres

    • Hook section made to length, typically 80m for 20 traces

    • Swivels added every 20m (5 traces) to reduce tangling

  • High-performance LiPo battery designed for demanding drone fishing conditions and protected for field use.

    • 10Ah capacity

    • 25C discharge

    • 25.2V output

    • Housed in carbon fibre cases

Experience the Difference with AK FishMaps

See the Seabed Before You Fly
AK FishMaps gives you real marine charts directly on your controller, allowing you to understand seabed contours, depth changes, and structure before committing to a drop. Less guessing, more confidence.

01

Smarter Planning, Better Drops
Plan your flight and bait placement with intention. By knowing where the seabed changes, you reduce failed drops, avoid poor terrain, and maximise every fishing mission.

02

Precision Through Marine Intelligence
AK FishMaps transforms your controller into a precision tool. Visual data helps you place bait accurately, fish consistently, and adapt quickly to changing conditions.

03

Built for Aerokontiki Conditions
Designed specifically for Aerokontiki drone fishing, AK FishMaps integrates seamlessly with the Android-based controller and performs reliably in real coastal and surf environments.

04

Clarity and Control in Your Hands

With AK FishMaps, your controller becomes a powerful planning tool that delivers smarter decision-making and greater confidence before every flight.

  • Seabed Visibility
    View real marine charts directly on your controller to understand depth, contours, and underwater structure before deploying bait.

  • Smarter Drops
    Plan bait placement with intention, reducing failed drops and avoiding poor terrain.

  • Precision Planning
    Make informed decisions based on marine data rather than guesswork, even in unfamiliar locations.

  • Confidence on Every Flight
    Knowing what is beneath the surface helps you fly with purpose and consistency.

  • Built for Drone Fishing
    Designed specifically for Aerokontiki environments and workflows, optimised for real coastal conditions.

  • Controller Integrated
