The '''Curiosity Lure''' is a [[tackle]] that increases the chance to catch rare [[fish]]. [[Mummy|Mummies]] in the [[Skull Cavern]] have a 1% chance to drop Curiosity Lure. It can also be dropped from [[The Mines#Special Items|some monsters as a special item]] in the Skull Cavern and the [[Quarry Mine]], or as a drop from breaking boxes, crates, or barrels in the Quarry Mine, Skull Cavern, or the [[Volcano Dungeon]] on [[Ginger Island]].

While fishing in most locations with this lure equipped, all fish bite chances are increased. Since all chances are increased with equal proportion to their existing bite chance, this ultimately results in trash showing up slightly less often. Note that this effect only refers to the calculation for determining which fish bites: this lure does not affect the time it takes before a fish will bite.<ref name="Global" />

There are three types of fish that are given separate increases and are not part of the global effect described above: Legendary Fish, the fish in [[The Mines]], and the [[Night Market#Fishing Submarine|fish in the Night Market]]. This because the chances of hooking those fish are handled in the game code and not in the data provided by <samp>Data\Fish.xnb</samp>.

In some rare cases, fish bite rate chances do not increase. This happens when the bite chance of the fish is handled in the game code and there is no code that suggests that there will be a higher bite chance with the lure. Some examples include:
