SmartTacklebox lets you use your SmartPhone as your memory for you tackle boxes. If you're a bass fisherman or fly-fisherman with lots of tackle that you cannot remember where or why you bought, then SmartTacklebox will help you recall what tackle you have and where. Using SmartTacklebox, you can take a photo of a tackle box after you've placed your tackle in it, and tag the lures or bait in the image. To recalling what lure you're looking at and what its for, simply touch the lure on the image. You can build your own lure catalog as you go along, linking to information about the lure on the Internet, as well as making your own notes. SmartTacklebox allows you to continually update the information about the tackle in the tackle box helping you to learn what you have and how/why to use your tackle. The free version of the app has advertising banners and limitations of 2 sides of 1 tackle box, as well as a limit of 20 lures. The Pro License which can be purchased from within the app removes the advertising and allows you to record multiple boxes and divisions, as well as any number of lures.
