Rigdial: Fly Leader Builder

Fly angler? Get a three-section leader build — butt, mid, tippet — tuned for your target species, rod, fly, and today's wind, tide, and water clarity.

Stop guessing your leader setup. Rigdial tells you the exact butt, mid, and tippet lengths, pound tests, and materials to match today's wind, tide, water clarity, and your rod-and-fly setup.

Every fly angler knows the frustration: the leader that worked on yesterday's calm morning falls apart in today's crosswind. Clear flats want long thin tippet, but a Permit refusal ends the session. Tarpon need a shock tippet, but too heavy spooks them. Rigdial resolves these trade-offs for you.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Set your target species, rod weight, and fly in seconds.
2. Rigdial fetches your local wind, tide, and conditions.
3. You get a complete leader build — three sections, knot types, and a one-line casting tip.

It takes 30 seconds to set up. No account required.
