TaperCast Leader Atlas

A hands-on fly-fishing leader and tippet formula studio for trout, steelhead, bass-on-fly, and light-salt casters who must design turnover-true multi-section leaders before they hit the water. The core loop is open a seeded classic formula or blank taper → size butt-to-tip diameters and section lengths against rod line-weight → lock mono, fluoro, or furled materials per section → run a turnover cascade coach that flags collapse and hinging → match tippet X to hook size and fly style → pin a large-type field card for the vest. It is not a catch record, knot rehearsal coach, lure color desk, trolling spread planner, or fillet bench; it is a precision leader-geometry utility that turns rod class, material physics, and fly size into fishable tapers.

Formula gallery with fully seeded first-launch packs: Harvey dry, Ritz, 60/20/20, nymph compound, streamer short, light-salt shock butt, plus euro-nymph long tippet scaffolds—each card shows section count, total length, and intended rod class.

Interactive taper builder: add/remove up to 9 sections; set length (ft/in or cm), diameter as X-rating or mm, and material (nylon mono, fluorocarbon, furled butt, tippet ring junction); live silhouette redraws the butt-to-tip profile with brass-ring markers.

Rod-class pairing desk: pick 2–12 wt single-hand…

Rod-class pairing desk: pick 2–12 wt single-hand or switch/spey context → get suggested butt diameter bands, total leader length windows, and stiffness notes so the butt matches line mass instead of hinging.

Turnover cascade coach: animated energy hand-off…

Turnover cascade coach: animated energy hand-off down the taper with Charts-backed diameter steps; flags weak mid-sections, overlong tippets, and butt-too-soft collapse; sliders for wind level and fly wind-resistance (sparkly dry vs weighted nymph).

Tippet-to-fly matrix: choose hook size (18–1/0) …

Tippet-to-fly matrix: choose hook size (18–1/0) and fly family (delicate dry, terrestrial, nymph, streamer, crab/shrimp) → ranked tippet X range, max tippet length, and abrasion caution for teeth or structure.

Material bay catalog (seeded, offline): stretch,…

Material bay catalog (seeded, offline): stretch, sink rate, abrasion, knot-friendly notes, and refractive clarity tags for mono vs fluoro vs furled; compare two materials side-by-side on the same section without leaving the builder.
