Rod Gear
A Fishtastic rod has three slots: bait, hook and charm.
In your inventory, click a bait, hook or charm onto the rod. Right-click the rod with an empty cursor to take gear off. Only one bait type can be loaded at a time. The rod's tooltip shows what's loaded and what it does.
| Rod | Recipe | Lava |
|---|---|---|
| Copper Fishing Rod | Vanilla rod recipe with copper ingots for the top two sticks | Works, but takes heavy damage |
| Obsidian Fishing Rod | Same, with obsidian instead of copper | Immune |
Both have all three slots and 250 durability.
One bait is used each session you land something. With no bait you catch mostly trash and vanilla fish. With any bait, vanilla fish stop biting.
The starter bait. Cheap, and adds a target per cast. Farmed from Marine Compost (below) or bought in the shop.
Craft these or find them as treasure. They're never sold in the shop.
| Bait | Effect | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Gummy Worms | Much bigger catches; rarer species show up more | Worms + golden carrot + sugar + diamond |
| Blazed Grub | Half your targets become treasure; fish come only from the exotic pool. Higher quality works better | Worms + blaze powder |
Each one favours a family of fish and makes everything else less likely. All four are also sold in the shop.
| Bait | Favours | Downside | Recipe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Fish Bait | Small species, plus an extra target | Narrower catch window | Worms + red mushroom + brown mushroom |
| Calm Bait | Placid species | Favoured fish reel in more slowly | Worms + kelp + seagrass |
| Frenzy Bait | Aggressive species | Favoured fish move much faster | Worms + any two meats |
| Trophy Bait | The biggest species | One fewer target; favoured fish reel in at half speed | Worms + two prismarine shards |
- Craft Marine Compost from a fish and dirt.
- Place it. It's ready in about five minutes if you stay nearby.
- When it looks dry, right-click to aerate it. Each turn (up to 5, one minute apart) speeds it up and adds a worm.
- When it's ready, break it to collect the worms. Break it early and you lose it.
| Fish quality | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base worms | 1 | 3 | 6 | 12 | 25 |
| Hook | Effect | Uses | How to get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron Hook | Bigger catches, less trash | 100 | Iron ingot + string |
| Rusted Hook | Smaller catches, much more trash, no treasure | 50 | Copper ingot + string |
| Golden Hook | More treasure | 32 | Rare treasure only |
Charms can't be crafted and last 64 uses. Claiming the quest listed below gives you the charm and unlocks it in the shop. Some also drop as treasure, but that doesn't unlock them.
| Charm | Effect | Unlocked by |
|---|---|---|
| Amethyst Charm | Stronger lift on the green bar | Goals: catch 100 fish |
| Crystal Ball Charm | Reveals target rarity before you land it | Trials: 3 Epic-or-better fish |
| Four-Leaf Charm | ×1.5 treasure chance | Trials: 15 treasure items |
| Luna Charm | Always counts as night; boosts night fish | Trials: Man o' War in a night storm |
| Banana Charm | Favours yellow fish | Goals: 25 Bluegill |
| Bait Buddy Charm | 50% chance a catch doesn't use bait | Collect: catch a fish on every bait |
| Sunset Postcard Charm | Stretches dawn and dusk by up to a minute | Explore: 10 sunset-coloured fish at dawn or dusk |
| Angler's Almanac | Shows the species most likely to bite | Always in the shop pool |
| Little Fish Box | Bundles catches into Piles of Fish | Always in the shop pool |
The Sunset Postcard, Almanac and Little Fish Box work from anywhere in your inventory, so you can equip a different charm on the rod.
A single-use shop item that summons a five-minute thunderstorm. Hold right-click to charge it, or put it in the charm slot to fire it on your next cast. It won't work in a dimension without weather, where the weather is locked, or during a thunderstorm.
