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
Sabiki Rig
Catching live bait Use it: When baitfish are around lights, pilings, docks, or surface schools.
Bait bucket and aerator
Ownership not recordedLive bait only stays truthful as a recommendation if the kit recognizes how quickly dead bait becomes a different plan.
Bank sinkers and small weights
Ownership not recordedCurrent and depth determine the minimum useful weight; heavier is not automatically better.
Inshore braided main line
Ownership not recordedBraided main line keeps the setup sensitive and lets you swap leaders without reinventing the whole rig.
Premade Sabiki rig
Ownership not recordedA Sabiki supports live-bait trips. Keep the setup compact and simple.
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.
