All from the shore.

Unmatched Bait Lift Capacity

8 LBS

Fisherman Max FD2 is proven by real anglers to deliver the highest bait lift capacity in its class. Even when carrying a full 8 lb bait, the FD2 remains stable and responsive - ensuring a safe return even in windy conditions.
This unmatched lifting power means you can drop larger baits and heavier rigs farther offshore, reaching deeper waters where the big predators live - all from the shore.

Unmatched Fishing Efficiency

Rapid Setup, No Calibration Needed

Unlike standard drones, the Fisherman Max FD2 is ready to take off in any beach of the world without complicated manual calibration process before every flight.

400-Yards Bait Drop In 30 Seconds

Fly baits to deeper waters at a fraction of the time it would take by boat or kayak.

Up To 6 Drops Per Battery

A single battery charge powers up to 6 flight trips, each capable of carrying and deploying bait of up to 4 lbs (2 kg) over 400 yards offshore.

Deploy 5 Rods In 20 Minutes

Deploy multiple rods faster and with less effort to cover more waters and significantly increase your chances of landing giant fish.

Up to 15 Hooks Per Line

The FD2 can lift a single rig with up to 15 baited hooks. With one drop, you can cover more of seafloor and maximize hook-up rates when targeting bottom feeders.

The Only True Waterproof Fishing Drone

Built on SwellPro’s 10 years of exclusive waterproof technology, the Fisherman Max FD2 is fully saltwater-proof and designed to float - making it easy to recover in emergency water landings and ensuring long-lasting durability in harsh marine environments.

IP67 Saltwater-proof Aircraft

Completely sealed and protected against waves, salty air and full immersion in water up to 1 meter.

Safe Water Landing

With floats attached, the FD2 floats on water if it lands so you can take off again from the water.

Corrosion-Resistant Electronics

Anything metal and electronics are completely coated to resist saltwater corrosion.

Automatic Flip Back

If the FD2 accidentally flips over in the water, you can easily use the joysticks to right it back to its normal position and control it to fly back to the shore safely.

All Weather Fishable

Level 6 Wind Resistance

The Fisherman Max FD2 holds steady and ensure accurate bait drops in winds up to 40 km/h (30 mph) - so you can keep fishing when others pack up.

Every fishing drone is powered by in-house flight controller that intelligently adjusts motor thrust and flight modes in real time - keeping your drone stable, responsive, and safe, even when flying heavy baits far offshore.

Real-time Vision For Safer Flights

With live video feedback and flight data on screen, the FD2 helps beginners stay aware of their drone’s location, avoid obstacles and safely navigate to the fishing zone.

Beach Reading

Fly the drone to scan the beach for reading wave patterns and underwater structures - identify productive drop zones where fish are likely to gather.

Fish Scouting

The FD2’s camera lets you see bait balls, feeding activity, and surface movement - so you can drop right where the fish are.

100% Bait Accuracy

By combining GPS positioning, distance tracking, and live video, the FD2 ensures your bait lands exactly where you intend - with 100% accuracy.

Why Anglers Are Switching To FD2 From Kayak?
