Understanding Bait Mechanics

Universal Luck vs. Preferred Luck

Universal Luck applies to all types of fish rather than specific ones. This luck type affects your fishing rod’s overall ability to catch better fish, making it essential for general fishing sessions where you want to increase your chances of catching any rare fish.

Preferred Luck applies to specific species of fish that the bait is designed to attract. When using bait with high Preferred Luck, you multiply the base chance of catching that specific fish. For example, a Truffle Worm has 300% Preferred Luck. When trying to catch a Nessie with a 1% base chance, you multiply its chances by 300% (1% × 300% = 3% chance).

Other Important Stats

• Resilience: Higher resilience makes fish move less during the reeling minigame, making it easier to overlap the white bar with your cursor
• Lure Speed: Higher lure speed decreases the time required to hook a fish
• Progress Boost: Increases fishing progress speed
• Mutation Effects: Some baits have special mutation effects that can change fish appearance or properties
