Common fixes before you write
- Rehearsal feels reversed — toggle the left/right-hand mirror in Step Rehearsal Player, then scrub back to coil one.
- Retained strength looks low — confirm diameter and rated break strength on both standing and tag at the Line Pairing Desk; stiff/slick warnings matter for the factor.
- Knot missing for a job — widen salt/fresh context and difficulty filters on the Connection Job Bench; many rows carry aliases.
- Offline Drill Mode — the full 45+ library stays on-device; no sign-in is required to rehearse or pin trip cards.
- Widget empty — pin a Trip Knot Card in-app first, then add the widget from the iOS home-screen gallery.
What BendLock is (and is not)
BendLock Knot Studio is skill rehearsal and connection decision math for terminal tackle. It is not a catch log, not a boat-geometry planner, and not a substitute for safe on-water judgment. If a line pairing or knot looks wrong for your conditions, trust your gear specs and local knowledge.
