Abstract: A remote control fishing tackle having a main controller (10) and a separate float unit (30) for operating remotely from the main controller and connected thereto by a primary fishing line (351). A secondary fishing line (352) is suspended from the float unit and has a fish hook (353) thereon. The main controller has a radio transmitter (21) with an electric power source (23) and a reel (22) for the fishing line for unreeling and reeling in the float unit. The float unit has a receiver (31), batteries (60), two electric motor units (40, 41) driving separate propellers (44, 45) in two water channels (50, 51), or a common water channel (70), and electronic speed controllers (30, 33) operated by the receiver in response to signals from the transmitter controlled by separate control elements (11, 12) so that the float unit can be propelled forward and backward and turned. The reel is operated selectively by a power drive or manually (15).
