Meet Hank

Hank is named after the kind of guy every serious bass angler knows — the one at the boat ramp who's been on this lake for 30 years and actually tells you what's working. We built Hank to be that guy at scale: direct, specific, and never trying to impress you with jargon.

Tell him your lake, conditions, and gear, and he'll tell you what to throw and why.

Continuously Improving

Hank gets better every day. We talk to real bass anglers constantly — tournament competitors, weekend warriors, guides — and feed what they're actually doing on the water back into Hank's knowledge. When a new pattern emerges or a technique stops working the way it used to, Hank learns it.

How We Make Money

When Hank recommends a lure or piece of gear, we may earn a commission if you buy it. Our recommendations are based on what actually works for the conditions — not on margin or sponsorship. We'd rather you catch fish and come back than push a product that doesn't fit.

Your Spots Stay Yours

We don't collect, store, or sell your fishing locations. When you ask Hank about a lake or share your coordinates for condition lookups, that data is used to answer your question and nothing else. Secret spots are sacred — we're not in the business of crowdsourcing them.

Built by the Nako Team

Anglers who've spent years in the North American bass fishing industry — not a generic fishing app, but a tool made for people who take bass fishing seriously.

Based in Cordova, Tennessee. We fish the mid-South bass country ourselves — Pickwick, Kentucky Lake, Guntersville, Reelfoot, and plenty of smaller waters most folks overlook.
