Build-a-Rig
Pick a rig, then see what you still need to bring.
Each checklist follows the CastPlan rig as shown, without extra parts or brand-driven recommendations.
Approved rig reference
High-Low Rig
Fishing multiple baits near bottom Use it: Surf fishing or when fish are spread near bottom.
Inshore braided main line
Ownership not recordedBraided main line keeps the setup sensitive and lets you swap leaders without reinventing the whole rig.
Premade or tied high-low rig
Ownership not recordedA High-Low rig presents two small baits near bottom without adding much tackle.
Pyramid sinkers
Ownership not recordedThe High-Low surf setup only works when the bait stays where the trough and current are telling you to fish.
Bank sinkers and small weights
OptionalCurrent and depth determine the minimum useful weight; heavier is not automatically better.
Live shrimp
OptionalShrimp is the clearest connection between the species pages, the easiest rigs, and the existing CastPlan prep mindset.
Sand fleas or Fishbites
OptionalKeep the surf bait plan simple and match it to pompano or whiting.
Fish by species
Start with the fish
See only the rigs, essentials, alternatives, and kits grounded for that species.
Fish by situation
Start with the water
Understand why the setup fits the environment before looking for an offer.
Build a rig
Choose the accepted rig. Check what you own. See what is needed.
Restock essentials
Repeat-use tackle, without quantity tracking
Leader, hooks, swivels, jig heads, soft plastics, and sinkers are marked as consumable-ready foundations. CastPlan does not predict depletion yet.
Review equipmentUpgrade your gear
Upgrade for a reason
Equipment detail explains useful specification differences for current, structure, surf, and repeated saltwater use—never commission-first ranking.
