Hi Guys,
I am planning on buying a Camodev 360
Has anyone here owned / operated one?

What is the feedback on the Camodev?

Thank You

Hi Obelix

I own one and will say its the best bait boat I ever had.

I had 2 carpking's before and they are also great boats never had a problem.

The battery life is good on the Kamo plus it charges fast off your car battery also better to charge the batteries after every drop.

They are FAST mine is extremely reliable never had a problem and the spreader works perfectly.

If something had to happen to mine I will buy another one the next day.

The down side is they are expensive!
Think New they are over R8000
Their batteries are also expensive they run off LIPO batteries and cost +- R1200 for a replacement.

I have heard good and bad things about the after sales service so no comment there as I never had any problems.

Good luck with your choice

Hi TimJan,
I am planning on spending about 15K... extra battery, cover, and of course fish finder.
I love the Kamodev it looks like an awesome boat...

I realise I could buy a boat with a motor... but as I am a dad I don't want to chance the water and possibly drown as I fish allone often.

Bait boat with a fish finder seems perfect.

You helped me make a choice... thx TJ

Cool stuff.

Like I said ALLOT of money but for me worth it.
I found mine second hand and saved a bit of cash that way.
I am also looking at getting myself an fish finder but still thinking about that one.

Check on Olx, theres a camo for 7 or 8k full house, with fish finder, I have a DM craft, upgraded everyting.

And to be honest, time and money waisted(looking for more speed), Im also looking at a camo,seen a few running on the dams, speed is Amazinballs!!!!

also consider a hurcules banjee with the jet drive system, seem nice aswell

Hi TimJan,
I heard with the fishfinder you have to stop... it can't do fishfinding whilst driving, which is also fine, better than no fishfinder.

Would be cool to be able to map out the structure and especially dips in front of you... can't wait to buy the boat... even though it is expensive I feel I would get better value than a cheap R3000 boat...

Where do you fish?

I have had mine for about 3 year. U must take care of it and especially the batteries. Mine has served me well i have added a battery monitor and gyro as it's not easy to control at speed. I have to say it's a great boat but don't get line in the prop. It will sieze the shaft and don't open it up. It's fast and can flip on big waters like the vaal

Pm me your number, will what's app you a video my new Optus bait boat, fitted with color fish finder.

The spinner is built into the boat so just the top 1cm is visible when looking at it from the side.

You can also have them wired to use lipos and normal lead acid batteries.

They f@#% fast on the lipo's.apparently faster than the camo, you can check it out on the video though..

Thx Toli / Deisel
Battery monitor and gyro also sounds like a good idea...

I think I am just going to buy one fully kitted out, I've wanted one for sooo long.

Need to take my specimen fishing to the next lvel now!

The boat itself is super light, I have tested the boat to 600m plus ( with binoculars), one rear bucket. Hopper sunk in, looks very nice. Like I said you can have wiring setup so the boat can accommodate lead acid and/or lipo. Boat is very economical, extremely fast ( pM if anybody wants a video). Green and red led light at back(green lights get covered by bucket once bait is dropped ), white led's at the front. Convenient nylon handle.
The boat is also programmed to drop speed and circle back in the event you lose signal for some reason.

Definitely something to look at before you make your final decision..

Hi

I agree, I have done my research on bait boats over about a 3 months. Locally and Internationally.

The BRAND new Optus Bait Boat 2017 is in my opinion the best bait boat in South Africa. It has many advantages above the rest, to much to discuss, and looks the best too by far. The only one that comes close is the 360 Camo. Bit still, I would even go as far to say it is one of the best in the world if not the best now. See some photos, its still in production. I am testing it in a week or two and will give feedback._seal1__seal1_

Over 1 km range, internal Arial, fast, digital radio, even led's to light up boat like a lamp at night. Every component quality is superb. The boats sits and travels in water like no other, stable. Life time warrantee.

Hi. My name is Nos. I am the Optus bait boat manufacture.

I have built ths Optus bait boat out of frustration with all the local bait boat I bought.

I had to spend alot of money after buying a boat to get it to do what it is suppoese to do

So I designed the Optus.

I am a keen big carp a angler( facebook: big fish angler Nos Minnaar ). So I know what a bait boat needs to do.

I have two models
