Tackle Profiles

Tackle profiles overview

A tackle profile saves your complete rod and rig setup so you can select it at the start of any session without re-entering everything from scratch.

To create a tackle profile

  1. Go to Profile → App Settings → Tackle Profiles
  2. Tap + New Profile
  3. Enter a name (e.g. "Single Hook Boilie Rod", "Zig Rig Left Rod")
  4. Select the Tackle type (see options below)
  5. Fill in the details relevant to that setup
  6. Tap Save

Specimen tackle types

  • Rod — general specimen rod setup
  • Lure Rod — for lure and spin fishing (see Lure & spin profiles)
  • Float Rod — float-based specimen approach

Grouping profiles

Profiles can be organised into groups (e.g. "Main Lake Rigs", "River Setups"). Tap + New Group on the Tackle Profiles screen to create one, then assign profiles to it.

Using a profile in a session

When starting a session, each rod slot prompts you to select a profile. You can also change a profile mid-session from the rod roost.
