Introducing the SwellPro Fisherman FD1 WaterProof Fishing Drone
The Fisherman FD1 is a specialized waterproof drone designed for fishing enthusiasts. Built on the proven technology of the SplashDrone 3+, it eliminates non-essential features to focus solely on efficient bait dropping, making it more cost-effective. With an enhanced propulsion system, the FD1 can carry heavier baits, maintain longer flight durations, and perform reliably even in windy conditions.

Designed Specifically for Drone Fishing
Unlike the versatile SplashDrone 4, the Fisherman FD1 eliminates unnecessary features and components that don’t contribute to drone fishing. Its flight controller is equipped with specialized algorithms to maintain altitude and stability while carrying heavy baits. With numerous advantages, the FD1 stands out as one of the most exceptional fishing drones ever made.
2KG (4lbs) Bait Capacity
Powered by a high-capacity LiPo battery and high-torque, high-kV motors, the FD1 can lift up to 2kg of bait. Whether you’re using multiple baited hooks or a large live bait, this drone enhances your chances of catching bigger fish.
Up to 5 Drops per Charge
With an extended flight time of up to 28 minutes and a large bait capacity, the FD1 can drop 800g (1.7 lbs) of bait up to five times over a 600m (650 yd) range on a single charge—maximizing your fishing efficiency.
1.6 Km (1 Mile) Casting Range
The FD1 operates at distances of up to 1.6 km (1 mile), allowing land-based anglers to cast far and reach prime fishing spots without the need for a boat or kayak.
Durable, Rugged Design
Built with a marine-grade ABS fuselage to withstand heavy loads, the FD1 offers superior durability. Its carbon fiber propellers provide high stiffness, making it one of the most robust fishing drones available.
All-weather, All-water Fishable

IP67 Seawater-Proof Aircraft
The FD1 is fully waterproof, allowing it to land and take off from water effortlessly. Designed for reliability, it ensures a safe return to shore every time.

Level 7 Wind Resistance
Equipped with a powerful propulsion system and a finely tuned flight controller, the FD1 maintains exceptional stability in winds up to 20 m/s (38 mph).

Corrosion-Resistant Build
With waterproof motors and corrosion-resistant coatings on internal electronics, the FD1 is built to withstand harsh marine environments and salty sea air.
Heavy on Fishing, Light on Piloting

Rock-Solid Stability
FD1 integrates multiple sensors to enhance flight stability. GPS/GLONASS locks onto up to 11 satellites each, ensuring precise positioning. A barometer maintains altitude, while a gyroscope keeps the drone balanced in all conditions. Even those with no prior piloting experience can operate FD1 smoothly and confidently.
Bait Dropping at Your Fingertips
Attaching a fishing line to FD1’s bait release is quick and effortless. With just a press of a button on the remote controller, the bait is released precisely where needed. This simple mechanism allows any fisherman to deploy bait with ease and accuracy.

Bait Releases for FD1 Fishing Drone

PL1-F
A fully waterproof, remote-controlled bait release system designed for blind bait dropping, offering a simple and reliable fishing experience.

PL2-F
A waterproof bait release with an adjustable-angle camera, allowing real-time video viewing for precise bait placement.

TS-2
Designed for trolling fishing, the TS-2 automatically releases the line when a fish strikes, ensuring a smooth and efficient catch.
Dual-Use GL1 FPV Screen Goggles
When paired with the PL2-F, the optional GL1 FPV goggles provide a real-time view from the drone’s camera. Designed for versatility, the GL1 can function as a display screen mounted on the remote controller or as on-face goggles for an immersive experience.
