Each page is one line drawing of a piece of sports or fishing gear, with a numbered ring on every part worth naming. In Find it you get a name, such as the taper of a bat or the bail arm of a spinning reel, and you tap its ring.

More about these tools

In Name it a ring lights up and you choose or type the name. Study turns every label on, with a line on what the part does. Each drawing prints blank or labeled.

The names are the ones a coach, a tackle shop or a rule book uses, so a lesson, a repair video or a spare-parts list is easier to follow. Every name was checked against two independent references on the date the page shows, and a name only one of them uses was left out. The drawings were made for this site and carry no maker's name.
