The EFTTEX Best New Product Awards 2017

Astone says its bait boat launched under the Smart brand is the only boat to use the smart ‘Li’ battery, making it light and small while still retaining a big bait capacity of 2.5kg. The batteries have a long life (1500x charge time) as does the BLDC motor: more than 20,000 hours to be exact. The battery’s charge time is only one hour and a car charging option is available. The Smart Bait Boat is quick too (8km/h). It can also be supplied with a fish finder.
Says Aston: “The innovative and practical design makes this the only boat you want to use when sea fishing. It is low carbon, environmentally safe and highly effective.”
