About Us
History
Rock and surf anglers everywhere have long dreamed of a miraculous fishing tool that would drop their baited hooks hundreds of metres into the ocean, way behind the back-line where the big fish feed; that far-off spot where not even the greatest of champions can cast their lines.
Necessity is the mother of invention and so the world’s first surf-launched RC bait boat was born. However, inventing the Aqua Cat Dinglehopper was no easy feat. To produce a craft small enough to fit under a man’s arm yet powerful enough to brave the churning tides demanded not only a fair amount of genius but also incredible patience and determination.
For the boat to successfully operate in the sea it needed to be extremely robust, fully submersible and totally self-righting. After two years of intense R & D and having ‘bet the farm’, a working prototype finally saw the light. The Aqua Cat Dinglehopper was introduced in a double spread editorial in a popular national fishing magazine in October 2004 which resulted in an avalanche of enquiries and orders... and orders, and more orders !
The Aqua Cat Team worked 18 hours a day, 7 days a week for nearly two years to deliver the 'Rolls Royce' of RC Bait Boats to their proud new owners. In June of 2006 the product was licensed to an independent manufacturer who continued to produce the boats until early 2008. The Licensee passed away in April 2008 and the original Aqua Cat Team is once again manufacturing the product.
In a Nutshell...
The Aqua Cat Dinglehopper Turbo remains the only RC bait boat of its kind in the world.
With the Aqua Cat Dinglehopper, the world's first and only surf-launched salt- and freshwater RC bait boar, anyone who loves fishing and places great value on their leisure time can enjoy the thrill and exhiliration of "Putting a game fish on their line without leaving the beach !"
