Arixel turns your tackle chain into a precision instrument. Feed in your rod, drag setting, main line, knots, leader, and terminal — and the StrainEngine computes every link's true working load, accounting for knot efficiency, line age, condition, rod angle, and guide friction. The weakest link is flagged immediately, with a plain-language explanation of exactly why that number is what it is.
Run a Pull Test to simulate a real fight. Watch the load ramp up in real time: either the drag slips as the fuse holds, or the chain snaps at the weakest point and freezes at the exact failure load. One tap reveals up to three engine-computed fixes — adjust the drag, swap the knot, or change the leader test — so you can rebuild the rig with the failure exactly where you intend it.
Beyond the chain builder, Arixel includes six precision benches: set your drag to a known force and verify it by hand; solve spool geometry for capacity and backing; match leader diameter to your main line or pick a species-specific shock leader; check your rod's power class against the rig you're running; convert gear ratio to lure speed across six working windows; and cross-reference hooks and connectors against your line's rated load. A library of 30 knots with efficiency ratings per line family, a catalog of 40 lines with a spool-age tracker, and a break-log with forensic symptom cards round out the toolkit.
Everything runs offline. No account, no subscription, no data leaves your device. Units switch live between lb/kg, in/mm, and yd/m — every readout updates instantly. Built for anyone who needs to know exactly where their tackle breaks before the fish does.
