How it works

Two questions, one answer

Most apps tell you what other anglers used. TackleIQ answers the only two questions that matter for your trip: what to throw, and when to throw it.

Scan your tackle

Photograph your lures and TackleIQ builds your personal gear catalog in seconds.

02

Know what to throw

AI recommends from your own box — matched to species, water clarity, and live weather.

03

Know when to throw

Solunar windows and forecasted bite scores show you the peak feeding window for your spot.

04

Fish smarter over time

Log catches with photo, GPS, and conditions, and spot the patterns that work where.

Your privacy

Your data stays yours

We built TackleIQ to help you catch more fish — not to sell your information. Here's our promise, in plain English.

We never sell your data

Your information is never sold to data brokers or advertisers, and we don't track you across other apps or websites. Period.

Location has one job

We use your GPS for one reason: to identify the exact water you're fishing, so weather, solunar, and lure recommendations match your real conditions. Wrong lake means wrong lure.

Your spots are sacred

Your catch locations are saved to your account — you decide if and when a catch gets shared with the community. Your tackle box photos do one thing: build your inventory.

FAQ

Common questions

What is TackleIQ?

TackleIQ is an AI fishing app for iPhone that scans your tackle box, builds a catalog of the lures you actually own, and recommends what to throw based on live conditions — weather, water clarity, solunar timing, and the species you're targeting. It also forecasts the best time to fish with a composite bite score.

How does the lure scanner work?

Photograph a lure with your phone and TackleIQ's AI identifies it — type, color, and size — and adds it to your personal tackle inventory in seconds. Recommendations then come from your own tackle box, not a generic database.

Is TackleIQ free?

Yes — TackleIQ is free to download and includes 5 free lure scans, catch logging with GPS, and community derbies. TackleIQ Pro unlocks unlimited scans, full AI recommendations, and best-time-to-fish insights for $6.99/month or $39.99/year, both with a 7-day free trial.

Is TackleIQ the same as Tackle.io or TackleAI?

No — TackleIQ is an AI fishing app for anglers, available on the iOS App Store. Tackle.io and TackleAI are unrelated enterprise software companies. If you're looking for the fishing app that scans your tackle and tells you what to throw, you're in the right place.

What species does TackleIQ cover?

TackleIQ covers bass, walleye, trout, crappie, panfish, and more. Recommendations are matched to the species you're targeting along with current water and weather conditions.
