Has anyone seen these before? Saw an ad for it on facebook. They illegal here in Aus? Kind of defeats the purpose of fishing.

Never seen one used here, I think they call them kon tikis in kiwiland

Should've elaborated more on it, they're designed to take 200m+ of line out via remote electronically and can attach hooks to it whilst it's being swam out then when your done, using a winch to pull that craft back with the intention to catch fish

I watched a YouTube vid of it and they said 25 hooks and can take baits out up to 1800 m from the shore.

Only if it's legal in Oz .. will definitely consider one

Yep, a form of Kon Tiki. Maoris have used them for many years. Originally they had a sail. In the 50's they used a boiled lollie to hold it all together. When the lollie dissolved it would drop its sail and an anchor at the same time. Pull the whole lot in a couple of hours later.

So does anyone know if one of these is legal here?

At a guess I would imagine it legal, but only if you use a max 2 baited hooks per line.

So these things are like a long liner as opposed to a drone taking out bait?
