Bringing a new level of ease and simplicity to kontiki
fishing
This package includes the best standard Kontiki unit you can buy.
Just get some bait and you're away fishing! Designed and engineered
in Tauranga and tested in the harshest beach conditions, the
Seahorse STD 46 Electric Kontiki Full Pack has
been the most successful STD beach longline fishing system in the
market. It can be operated either single-handedly or with family
and friends. Able to power through all conditions so you can fish
where and when you want! The STD Seahorse Electric Kontiki System
has taken beach longline fishing to a whole new level. With the
Seahorse STD 46 Electric Kontiki, you're getting
the results of over 10 years of development and improvements. Its
world-class electronic control unit brings a new level of
technology to Kontiki fishing with unique stall protection and
recovery features.
For ultimate performance and flexibility, the powerful and
versatile two-speed
Seahorse STD 46 Electric
Kontiki is New Zealand's most popular kontiki unit. It's
New Zealand's only proven 46lb thrust kontiki! The high performance
46lb thrust motor will attack massive West Coast surf and rips,
allowing you to fish when others can't. And what's more, the two
speed control unit gives you full power for serious surf and rips,
or half speed for calmer conditions, ease of use, and maximum
distance.
Note: The Standard Seahorse Kontiki
does not have the Seahorse-developed GPS guided autopilot system.
It relies on its unique body shape and the user launching it in the
correct direction to ensure a good set.
How does the STD Seahorse steer so well?
The
Seahorse STD 46 Electric Kontiki has an
incredible ability to self-steer through varying side currents and
waves. This is a unique ability unmatched by others on the market.
Its long body allows for unrivalled longitudinal steering
stability. Seahorse engineered the STD kontiki with an offset tow
point and forward mounted motor to ensure maximum resistance from
waves and rough conditions. The long, low body acts like a rudder,
removing the need for drag inducing keels. This low buoyancy design
also gives the Seahorse the ability to dive under the breaking surf
and avoid being washed off course. And what's more, the line towing
behind the Seahorse Kontiki works like the tail of a kite, which
keeps the unit straight. The low drag, front mounted rudder gives
additional control for tackling offshore tidal currents or
wind-induced surface drift. By launching slightly into the current,
the Seahorse's ability to steer a straight course will ensure your
line is set where you want it.
Reliable, smart electrics
The Seahorse Electronic Control Unit is completely sealed in resin.
This resin block is fitted into the polyethylene body, and is held
in place with moulded anchor points. The electronics remove a mass
of wiring allowing a clean and simple battery compartment. There
are two connecting leads showing to attach the two batteries.
A row of 10 super bright LEDs, which shine through the body,
indicates your battery status and will indicate if the batteries
need charging. The LED lights show the pre-selected running time of
your Seahorse. The amount of time is indicated by the number of LED
lights which illuminate in a bar display. Once the time is set
simply start the Seahorse motor by putting the magnet near the
START switch. You can run the Seahorse until the low battery
cut-out switches it off, or you can set the timer to 25, 20, 15, 10
or 5 minutes run time.
The LED light flashes fast to show the motor is running, and on the
Seahorse 46 the lights will flash slow to show when slow speed is
selected.
The Seahorse Kontikis are the only Kontikis with built-in automatic
stall protection system. If the motor is stalled, the control unit
will automatically stop and start the motor up to 3 times trying to
dislodge the offending item. - an essential feature for shingle
beaches.
The Electric Winch
The
Seahorse Electric Winch is built tough to do
the hard work in harsh beach environments. It makes launching and
retrieval of your Seahorse kontiki a one-person job, no matter what
the conditions are or how many fish you have on the line. The
three-speed control unit and pulse function gives you full control,
allowing you to fish when you want. The Seahorse Electric Winch can
be used with any electric kontiki and is perfect for kite
fishing.
The Traceboard
The
Seahorse Clip & Go Traceboard is lighter,
stronger and cleaner than old-fashioned wooden boards, with a
straightforward design, and can be used with a wide range of baits.
Its highly effective two-sided design and long traces enable easy,
fast, and safe attachment of the traces. Plus it's safer too, as it
allows you to stay away from the pre-baited hooks that are
automatically dispensed from the far end of the board. The traces
are attached between every second or third stopper on the stoppered
section of line. The stoppers are 2 metres apart and with a
hundresd and twenty stoppers on the mainline, you have plenty of
extras. The stoppers are nylon cord tied and glued and do not
affect line strength and are much better to handle than the cheaper
aluminium crimps. The 25 traces can be deployed in under a
minute.
As the Seahorse Kontiki performs and travels at high speed, the
traceboard makes it easy to attach traces safely and easily, and a
winch that controls the line during the launch stage. Simply clip
on the traces, and go!
Used by Graeme Sinclair and Bill Hohepa, Derek the Chef, and
thousands of New Zealanders - from Invercargill to Cape Reinga, -
the Seahorse is the best kontiki unit you can buy!
