The journey

Four Boxes. One Confident Angler.

Each box is a chapter — building on the last so you always know what to use, where to cast, and why it works. Open one, catch a fish, and graduate to the next.

Look for the "Where to Look" lessons

Fish don't live everywhere. Every box teaches one new spot to read — and the polarized sunglasses in Box 1 help you see right into the water from day one.

Good questions

Before You Cast Off

Do I need fishing gear already?
Nope. Each box is packed with the tackle and tools you need. If you don't own a rod and reel yet, add our optional ready-to-fish combo ($50–$60) and you're set across all four boxes.
Is this for kids or adults?
Both. Learn to Fish is built for any first-time angler — kids, teens, parents, grandparents, and adults who always wanted to learn. It's approachable without feeling like a toy.
What kind of fish can I catch with it?
Freshwater favorites: bass, trout, bluegill, and crappie. The early boxes focus on the highest-success species, then Box 3 leans into bass technique.
Where can I use the boxes?
Anywhere you fish freshwater — local ponds, lakes, and stocked trout areas. Every box includes a "Where to Look" lesson that teaches you how to read whatever water is near you.
Is live bait included?
Box 1 includes wax worms plus everything to rig them. After that, you'll graduate to artificial lures and soft plastics — so you learn to catch fish without relying on live bait.
What happens after the fourth box?
You graduate. Box 4 feels like a true Mystery Tackle Box experience and includes an exclusive offer to keep fishing with monthly MTB boxes.
When does it launch?
Soon. Join the launch list and you'll be first to know the drop date — plus get first access and early-availability updates.
