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.
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.
From lure discovery and AI fishing assistance to custom bait engineering and swimbait-making materials, the work spans owned projects and advisory roles.
