The Balanced Tackle Setup Planner

The GetFishingEquipment planner for matching rod, line, leader, reel and drag to the fish you are after, so every part of the setup works with the rest

The tools on this site each answer one tackle question, and side by side they do not always agree: the rod guide and the line selector give different line ranges for pike and trout, and the line selector's pick for bass in heavy cover sits above its own range. Rules of thumb do that. The Balanced Tackle Setup Planner settles them the way the tackle does. Part 1 sizes the fish you are after and reconciles the line ranges. Part 2 chooses rod power from lure weight, keeps the line inside the rating printed on your rod, matches the leader to rig and clarity, compares reels by inches per turn rather than gear ratio, and sets drag to a quarter to a third of the weakest link, measured with a scale. Includes setup cards, a gear inventory, a catch log and a length-to-weight chart for 12 species. With your purchase comes a personalised sheet worked on your own setup.
