Bait Weight Calculator
Calculate the optimal fishing bait or sinker weight for a given casting distance, rod power, and wind conditions.
How to Use the Bait Weight Calculator
- Enter your target casting distance in metres.
- Select the power rating of your rod.
- Choose current wind conditions.
- Click Calculate to see the optimal sinker weight.
حالات الاستخدام
- •Shore fishing where casting distance is critical.
- •Surf fishing with strong onshore winds.
- •Boat fishing with light tackle setups.
- •Competitive casting to maximise distance.
الصيغة
Optimal weight (g) = Base weight × (Distance / 30 m) × Wind factor. Base weight depends on rod power; wind factor: calm ×1.0, moderate ×1.2, strong ×1.5.
الأسئلة الشائعة
Why does wind affect bait weight?
Wind resistance requires heavier weights to maintain casting distance and line control.
What rod power should I choose?
Match rod power to target species: ultralight for small fish, heavy for large predators.
