How the engine works

A hybrid: AI proposes real-world models, the engine ruthlessly validates them against rules and scoring

Hard Rules

Strict compatibility rules: rod lure range, reel class, line rating. Critical violations cap the score at 45.

Soft Scoring

9 independent fit functions: lure window, action vs technique, power vs target fish, balance, fishing conditions.

Ranking

Three kits for different strategies: OPTIMAL — max score, BEST VALUE — price/performance, PREMIUM — no compromises.

AI Explains

The final layer is a human-readable explanation: why this exact kit, grounded in reason codes, no hallucinations.

What a result looks like

Every kit gets a Compatibility Score broken down across 9 parameters

FAQ

How do I pick a spinning rod as a beginner?
For a beginner, a Medium-class rod (10–30 g lure range), 2.4–2.7 m long, with a 2500–3000 reel and PE 0.8–1.2 braid is ideal. Just run the builder, select “Beginner” experience — the AI will pick proven models within your budget.
How is this different from forum advice?
AI proposes candidates, but a deterministic engine has the final word: hard compatibility rules and 9 fit functions compute an honest Compatibility Score. Incompatible kits are rejected, not “sold”.

For shore pike — a 2.4–2.7 m rod rated 14–42 g, a 3000–4000 reel, PE 1.0–1.5 braid with a metal leader. Effective lures: 90–120 mm jerkbaits and large 4–6 inch soft plastics. The builder will pick specific models.
How long does it take?
