My Top 6 Carp Bait Boats

The rise of the budget bait boat can only mean good things for the industry. Premium bait boats are unrivalled for quality, but they are an unattainable option for a lot of anglers, or simply they are just too heavy-duty than some anglers need. If I was heading to an enormous gravel pit that required a lot of swim mapping and heavy baiting, I’d need a more premium option like the Anatec Catamaran or the Carplounge RT4, but a lot of anglers just need a boat capable of dropping off some bait and a rig under an overhanging tree 40m away known for holding a good head of carp. In this case, these budget bait boats are absolutely perfect. They allow young or new anglers to get their hands-on bait boat technology, apply it to their angling and naturally graduate to more technical and advanced hardware when the time is right.
At the end of the day, technology is no substitute for solid watercraft, so bait boats should be used as an added tool, not as a substitute for skill and knowledge.
In all honesty, cheap bait boats keep premium models honest, and if an independent company begins to produce high-quality boats at a far reduced price, it’s then up to those more expensive brands to prove why they are superior and if they can’t, that provides more power to the budget options. If you haven’t used a bait boat yet, and you think there’s a chance it could bank you a few more carp, why not take a chance on some of these incredibly cheap bait boats while you can.
