TackleLab

Change one thing. Let the water answer.

Your fishing experiment notebook. Log the rig you fish, count bites on the bank, test one hook, lure or line against another — and see what actually works, from your own logbook.

How it works

From hunch to proof in four casts

No setup, no jargon. Type what's on your line, fish, tap the counter — the app does the maths.

1

Name the rig you fish

Rod, reel, line, leader, hook, lure — in your own words. Every session you log simply belongs to a rig.

2

Log a session in seconds

Count bites, hookups and landed fish with one thumb. Live mode keeps the screen awake on the bank.

3

Change one thing, then fish

Pick a slot — hook, lure, line — and give it two to four values. Fish each, and the bars show which one wins.

4

See what actually works

Your best rig, bites per session month by month, and what works by lure or hook — computed on your device.

Features

A lab bench that fits in your tackle box

Built for anglers who'd rather know than guess.

Rigs, not guesses

Every session is attached to the exact setup that produced it — so a good day is never a mystery again.

One thing at a time

Experiments change a single slot across two to four values. Clean comparisons, honest answers.

Keep it even

The app always points at the variant with the fewest sessions and suggests a winner by bites per hour. The final call stays yours.

Live mode on the bank

A running timer and big tap counters for bites, hookups and landed fish — with the screen kept awake.

A coach on call

The AI rig coach flags what doesn't match — line too heavy for the lure, hook too big for the bait — and proposes your next test.

Yours, on this device

No account, no analytics. Rigs, logbook and photos stay on your iPhone — export the logbook to CSV anytime.

Tests worth running

Settle the tackle-box arguments

Hook size, leader material, lure colour — pick any slot and let the bites decide.

AI rig coach

A second opinion on tackle

Review a rig and the coach reads its six slots and session totals, says what's out of balance, and hands you two or three experiments — each one tap from a ready-to-fish test. Or just ask in plain words.

Nothing is sent until you agree. Your name, notes, photos and logbook never leave the phone.

Example
Out of balance: a 0.25 mm fluoro leader is heavy for a 7 g soft bait in clear water.
Leader: 0.25 vs 0.20 vs 0.16 mm Start test
Lure colour: green vs natural Start test
