Derbies

A fishing derby in your pocket.

TackleIQ derbies are bragging rights, settled properly — a fun competition with your fishing buddies and the angler community, scored by the catches you're already logging.

Bragging Rights, Settled

Every group of fishing buddies is already running a derby.

Somebody claims the biggest smallmouth of the season. Somebody else has a blurry photo and a story that grows an inch every retelling. The competition already exists — it just has no scoreboard. TackleIQ gives it one: enter a derby, fish like you always do, and your logged catches — photo, GPS, and conditions attached — do the talking. No folding tables, no weigh-in lines, no arguments.

How It Works

Enter. Fish. Log. Talk trash accordingly.

Join a derby.

Find active derbies in the TackleIQ community and jump in.

02

Fish like always.

Log your catches the way you already do — photo, GPS, and conditions attached.

03

Settle it.

Your logged catches count toward the derby, everyone sees how they stack up, and the group chat sorts itself out.

Angler Community

Friendly competition, honest scoreboard.

Derbies live inside TackleIQ's angler community — the same feed where anglers share catches, swap what's working, and talk water. It's a derby the way it should feel: a fun excuse to get everyone on the water, with a scoreboard nobody can argue with, because every entry is a real logged catch with location and conditions attached.
