Every lure you own,
in one box.
Snap the receipt from the tackle shop and the whole haul lands in your box. Lures, live bait and gear, sorted the way you think about them.

Tap My Lures, Live Bait or Gear. Each lure type header opens that type's page on the site, and What to throw opens its feature page.
The tackle box in Cobia, the free fishing app, keeps every lure you own in one place, grouped by type, brand, color or the box it lives in. Snap a tackle shop receipt and it adds the whole haul at once, or scan a barcode, search a catalog of more than 47,000 lures, or build your own. Live bait and rods, reels and line get their own tabs, and What to throw ranks the box for any fish.

Nobody types in two hundred lures
So you don't have to. Tap the plus and pick whichever is closest to hand: the receipt in your truck, the package in your hand, or the name of the lure.
- The catalog brings the details, the photo, colors and sizes, so a tile looks like the lure.
- A barcode that isn't in the catalog can still be added by hand.
- Your own pours and homemade baits get a custom lure with your photos.

One photo, the whole trip's haul
Take a photo of the tackle shop receipt, or pick one from your camera roll. Cobia reads the line items and matches each one to the catalog before anything lands in your box.
- Each line says how sure it is. A clean match is staged, a close one asks you to confirm, and a family asks you to pick the size or color.
- No match isn't a dead end. The line is kept as written, so it's still in your box.
- Gear comes along too. Line, leader and other gear on the same receipt go to the Gear tab.
Know what's running low before the trip
Open any lure and keep its count, flag it running low, and note which box it lives in. When one breaks off or wears out, say so, and the box stays honest.
- Running low puts a gold dot on the tile, so you see it from the grid.
- Your notes stay private. Your review is the part that's public, on the catalog listing.
Holds up to snook teeth better than most. The mullet color is the one that gets bit on the jetty.

Great on the flats. Tails tear after a few fish, so buy the five pack.

What your box powers
Questions about the tackle box
How do I get my lures into Cobia?
Four ways. Snap a photo of a tackle shop receipt and Cobia adds every line it finds, scan the UPC barcode on a package, search the catalog of more than 47,000 lures, or create a custom lure with your own photos, colors, sizes and weights.
What happens to my receipt photo?
Cobia reads only the product line items, never card or payment details, and the photo is deleted after review. The app says so on the screen before you upload anything.
What if a lure isn't in the catalog?
Add it anyway. A barcode the catalog doesn't know offers Add it manually, a receipt line with no match is kept as written, and any lure can be built from scratch as a custom lure.
Does the tackle box hold live bait and gear?
Yes. Live Bait is a guide to the baits themselves, and Gear holds rods, reels, line and terminal tackle next to your lures.
Is the tackle box free?
Yes. The tackle box, receipt and barcode scanning, the catalog and What to throw are free on iPhone and Android.
