Connection Job Bench
Name the task—hook eye, split ring, snell, loop-to-fly, braid-to-fluoro, swivel, shock tippet, hollow splice—plus salt or fresh context. Seed knots rank by match score, bulk, and difficulty.

Hook to hollow-splice bench filters
Core loop: choose a connection job & line pair → filter ranked knots → rehearse tag/standing with wet-cinch gates → compare retained strength & bulk → pin a trip knot card.
Skill rehearsal & decision math—not a catch record, not boat geometry.
Gallery from the bench
Job filters, line pairing, step paths, compare boards, and glance-ready trip cards—illustrated for wet hands at the ramp.
Workshop tools that stay on the phone
Every station is built for connection decisions you can trust before you cast—not folklore at the eye or swivel.
02 · Pairing
Line Pairing Desk
Set mono, fluoro, braid, or wire with diameter and rated break strength. Instant knot-factor retained-strength readout plus too-stiff / too-slick warnings for the pair.
03 · Path
Step Rehearsal Player
Interactive tag-vs-standing path with coil-count gates, dress checks, mandatory wet-cinch, undo, scrub, and left/right-hand mirror so the sequence sticks before you spool up.
04 · Compare
Side-by-Side Compare
Park two knots for the same job and chart retained strength, profile bulk, cinch reliability, and teach-time—pick with numbers, not dock gossip.
05 · Clinic
Failure-Mode Clinic + Trip Cards
Tappable cards for slip, hinge cut-in, crossed coils, and under-dressed wraps open fix-it mini-rehearsals. Assemble ordered day cards and open a full-screen glance sheet at the ramp.
06 · Drill
Drill Mode & Offline Library
Shuffled jobs, timed clean rehearsals, step-order scoring, and optional Game Center streaks. 45+ knots with aliases, line-class tags, and salt/fresh badges—every row opens rehearsal, fully offline.
Built for anglers who cannot afford folklore
BendLock Knot Studio is a terminal-tackle workshop for freshwater and saltwater anglers who cannot afford folklore at the eye, swivel, or splice. Start on the Connection Job Bench—hook eye, snell, braid-to-fluoro, hollow join, shock tippet, and more—then set standing and tag materials with diameter and break strength.
Ranked seed knots surface by match score, bulk, and difficulty; the Step Rehearsal Player walks tag vs standing ends through coil gates, dress checks, and a mandatory wet-cinch. Compare two candidates on retained strength and profile, fix slip and hinge failures in mini-clinics, then pin an ordered Trip Knot Card you can glance at the ramp.
Drill Mode shuffles jobs with timed clean runs. Forty-five-plus illustrated knots stay fully playable offline—no account, no catch log, no boat geometry—just decision math and muscle memory.
