That photo above was taken in the middle of July. First set was a 25 min run and only got two snapper and a couple of KY. Rebaited and put in two lithium iron battery's which gave me a run time of well over 30min sending it out about 2.5km. We could not believe our eyes as we pulled it back in. That big one is 23lb and a lot of those others were well over 10lb.

Hey @Got-ya. The DJ Mavick pro says they have a max range of around 7km give or take.
But this is clean I think. Would be considerably less when carrying cargo depending on the weight.

Nether the less thought it was worth mentioning.
