The Barbed Hook is a tackle that helps fishing by keeping the fishing bar attached to the catch. It can be purchased from Willy's Fish Shop for data-sort-value="1000">1,000g, crafted, or may randomly appear at the Traveling Cart for data-sort-value="500"1,500–2,500g. One Barbed Hook is rewarded the first time the player wins the Fishing Competition at the Festival of Ice.

Only the Iridium Rod can equip tackle. To attach tackle to an Iridium Rod, left-click on the tackle, then right-click on the Iridium Rod. To remove Tackle, first right-click to remove any bait, then right-click to remove the tackle.

Tackle does not stack in inventory or chests; each tackle takes up one inventory slot.

Notes

• You can move the fishing bar while a Barbed Hook is in use, although it is more difficult, especially with slower fish. The more the fish darts up and down, the easier it is to move the fishing bar manually, and the less effective the Barbed Hook is.
• Crafting and selling a Barbed Hook is data-sort-value="70">70g more profitable than selling 1 Copper Bar, 1 Iron Bar, and 1 Gold Bar, unless you have the Blacksmith Profession.
