What is the best fishing Kontiki?
Snapper seem to be very fond of both the fresh mullet and the salted version and good catches attest to the success of these baits. Kahawai as bait also catches well and squid works okay and is good backstop if mullet cannot be sourced. Salted tuatuas (two to a hook) will also catch good snapper.
Can you insure a Kontiki?
Yes definitely. We fully recommend insuring and registering your Predator Kontiki and Winch as soon as you purchase it. Anything can happen and it will save the heartbreak of it ever getting lost or stolen.
How long do you leave a long line out for?
A rule I make is never to leave a longline set for more than two hours, as by then the baits will have been eaten by the fish or the crabs. I once left a longline overnight and every fish was dead and had been eaten out by the crabs and lice – it was such a waste.

How does a fishing Kontiki work?
The distance is just set by a timer. Roughly one minute of runtime equals 100 meters. So setting it to 5 minutes runtime you get a cast of 500 meters. The Kontiki will then stop, open the bait compartment and drop the baited hooks and sinker.
