About Tackle.net

Building across the fishing tackle industry.

Tackle.net is involved in the tackle industry across a spectrum of fishing-related projects, from the world's largest independent lure database to AI fishing tools, custom lure engineering, bait makers, and swimbait-making materials.

Our story

Built by anglers who couldn’t find the good stuff.

The best fishing lures rarely sit on tackle-shop pegs. They’re poured, carved, and painted by one- and two-person shops, dropped in tiny batches, and sold out before most anglers ever hear the maker’s name.

Tackle.net started as a simple attempt to fix that — one catalog, one place, every maker we could find. It has grown into a broader set of fishing-related projects: a lure library you can actually browse, AI fishing products, custom lure design work, and advisory work with builders and bait-making suppliers.

We’re a small, independent team.

What we do

A platform for the people making tackle worth fishing.

  • A home for makers

    Independent bait builders get a dedicated profile, a catalog for their lures, and a way to be found by anglers who actually care about handmade tackle.

  • The lure library

    A browseable, comparable catalog of custom and small-batch baits — organized by maker, category, and availability so you can stop hunting through Instagram grids.

  • Signal over noise

    Fresh drops, restocks, and what’s actually catching fish. We track the scene so you see what matters without the algorithm churn.

  • Built with anglers

    Every feature ships from real feedback — what a guide needs, what a collector wants, what a builder can live with. We iterate in public.
