The Lake Reaper Bait Boat
The Lake Reaper boat is ideal for fishermen looking for a compact bait boat of a high quality, with all the features needed on a bait boat but at an affordable price!
We have tried, tested & upgraded this boat for over 10 years. Our latest 2024 model is fitted with a new handset with telemetry, XT60 battery connectors and lights which are now controlled from the handset. Over the years we have ensured that our Lake Reaper remains easy to use and also easy to service, giving you the confidence that you will still be using your boat for years to come.
This Lake Reaper is faster than most on the market and fitted with a quiet motor. We have also fitted our boats with a proportional electric speed controller. This allows you to control the boat however fast or slow as needed, so the more power you put on the controller the faster or slower the boat will go. This is a great feature when you are trying to hit an exact spot close to a bank or under trees. This is also the case in reverse! A lot of other boats only have one speed or a slow/fast speed setting so beware.
New DE-108 Handset with Telemetry Feature:
Our Lake Reaper is fitted with a new handset with telemetry feature. This gives you an accurate reading of your boats battery level from your handset. This eliminates the problem of the boat suddenly stopping in the water due to losing power. This is one of only a few bait boats fitted with this feature.
Interference Free Radio with Long Range
Fitted with a interference free radio which provides a long range of 400+ meters. No more worrying about interfering with other peoples bait boats!
No More Snags!
The boat now has an internal aerial so no longer requires a long external aerial found on earlier models. No more getting snagged under branches!
The Hopper
The boat has a easy to use hopper for dropping the bait which can also take your hook length. The simple drop down lid can hold around 1kg of bait.
Lighting
The Boat has bright LED lights at the front and back. These can be seen from a distance and makes the boat easier to navigate when it gets dark. These lights can now be turned on and off from the handset, a new feature added on our latest 2024 versions.
The boat has a built in LED voltage reader on the side of the hull. This shows the battery voltage (great help!) so you know just how well charged the batteries are and when they need charging.
Battery Life
The boat includes a pair of 6 volt 5 amp batteries and a mains charger.
These batteries will last approx 3 hours on a single charge. Ideal for a day/night session. We also sell additional batteries for only £24.99 for the pair (ideal for week sessions in France)
Compact Size
At only 59cm long and 29cm wide, the Lake Reaper is easy to transport. We offer a range of bags, handset cases, battery cases and more in store or on our website.
Easy to Service and Maintain
Unlike a lot of other boats on the market, The Lake Reaper can be taken apart without needing to cut open a seal. This can be very cost & time effective if you need ever need to service your boat or replace any parts. Most parts can be easily changed, sometimes without even needing to take it apart! We include a aerosol tin of grease for lubricating the motor shaft.
We keep ALL spare parts in stock and most parts are plug n play making it easy to swap over/change if ever needed.
Optional Fish Finder
The Lake Reaper bait boats are available with Fish Finder and GPS options. These are available pre fitted to the boat. They can also be added at a later date if you decide you need to add this to your fishing game, either by ourselves or can be fitted by yourself! We include a fittings guide for our fish finders sold without the boat. Please click here for more information.
1 Year Warranty
We offer a 1 year’s warranty with our bait boats and continue to offer a fast, friendly and reliable back up service even after the 1 year guarantee. We have sold our boat for over 10 years and upgraded every part on the boat with our aim to make the most reliable bait boat on the market.

Optional Fishfinders and GPS.
Our Lake Reaper boats are available with a range of Fish Finders and GPS.
We have 2 fish finder options, one with a handheld screen and another with a screen on a base. These fish finders are brilliant for searching for fish and mapping the bottom of the lake, looking for hiding channels and deeper spots.
We also have a GPS option. This allows you to save the spots you drop your bait and then it will guide you back to the exact same spots everytime! This also has a built in fish finder and has the same great features. You have the option to split the screen with the fish finder on the left and the GPS on the right side!
You can also buy this separately and fit it on a later date.
Single handed control radio and fish finder options!
The very popular single handed controller is available pre fitted to our boats or as an optional upgrade! We also have a handheld fish finder available, again pre fitted on our boats or as an separate item that can be fitted at a later date!
1 KG Hopper
The hopper on the Lake Reaper can hold 1KG of bait. It works using a trap door system so when turning the dial on the handset the bait will drop underneath. You can also feed your hooklength through the bottom with ease.
Interference free radio, telemetry & battery indicator...
Our radio sets fitted to our boats are interference free meaning you will not interfere with other boats in the same area. These radios give the boat a long range of 300+ meters (more than enough!). Our latest models also have telemetry on them. This feature shows the battery level of the handset and the boat on the bottom of the handset!
With the voltage reader on the side of the boat, you can also get a accurate reading of your boats battery level so you know when its time to swap over your batteries/charge them up.
