Tackle box

Knowing what is actually in your box is what makes a lure recommendation useful instead of an advertisement. So the first job was making it painless to get your box into the app.

Three ways in

They all land in the same box

Nobody is going to type in two hundred lures. So Cobia reads your receipt, scans your packaging, or searches a real catalog, and every route ends in the same organized box.

  • Snap a receipt and the line items become lures and gear in one pass
  • Scan a UPC straight off the package while you are still in the shop
  • Browse 47,000 plus lures with real product photography and color families
  • Organized automatically by type, brand, color, or box

What lives in the box

More than a list of lures

Receipt scanning

Point the camera at a receipt and Cobia reads the product line items and adds them. It reads products only, never card or payment details, and the photo is deleted after review.

Lures, bait, and gear

Three tabs. Artificial lures with full variant detail, live bait you actually use, and gear like rods, reels, line, and terminal tackle.

What to throw

Rank your own lures for any species against today conditions. The answer only ever includes things you own, plus an honest note on gaps worth filling.

Ties into your catches

Link the lure to the catch and over a season your box becomes a record of what actually produces on your water, not what a magazine said would.

Reviews from owners

Reviews carry a Verified Owner mark when the reviewer added the lure by scan or receipt, so you can weight opinions by whether the person actually bought it.

Wishlist

Keep the things you are considering separate from the things you own, so recommendations stay honest about what is in your hand right now.

Three tabs

Lures are only a third of it

Live bait and gear get the same treatment, because what you throw a bait on decides as much as the bait does.

Questions

About tackle box

Cobia reads only the product line items, never card or payment details, and the photo is deleted after review. That is stated on the screen in the app before you upload anything.

You can add it manually. The catalog covers more than forty seven thousand variants and grows continuously, but boutique and regional baits are exactly the kind of thing an angler should be able to add themselves.

Yes, including receipt scanning, UPC scanning, the full catalog, and the what to throw recommendations.
