Lure & Tackle Calculators & Tools
Free, practical calculators for the working end of your line — size a lure, pick a jig head, choose a hook and a colour, dial in your retrieve, and plan your bait. Educational tools to help you rig smarter, not a substitute for time on the water.
Lure Weight Selector
Pick a target species, the depth you want to fish, and your technique to get a sensible lure-weight range in ounces — with a sweet spot to tie on first
Jig Head Weight Calculator
Enter water depth, current, and your line to get a jig-head weight that gets your soft plastic down and holds bottom, snapped to the nearest standard size
Fly-Tying Hook Size Guide
Choose the fly style you're tying — dry, nymph, streamer, midge, saltwater, and more — for the usual hook size range plus the thread and hackle that pair with it
Lure Color Selector
Set the water clarity and light to get a recommended lure colour — natural translucents in clear water, chartreuse and dark silhouettes when it turns murky
Retrieve Speed Advisor
Match your lure and the water temperature to a retrieve speed and cadence — a slow cold-water crawl, a steady mid pace, or a warm-water burn
Bait Quantity Planner
Enter your hours, anglers, and target species to estimate how much live or cut bait to bring — so you don't run dry at the best bite of the day
