'''Tackle''' can be attached to the [[Iridium Rod]] to make it easier to catch [[fish]]. Most recipes unlock as the player's [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|fishing level]] increases. Most tackle can also be purchased from [[Fish Shop|Willy's Fish Shop]] once they are unlocked. Tackles have a durability bar, which decreases on use. Normally, they wear out and disappear after 20 fish catches. Tackle does not wear out when catching junk items, specifically when catching [[Green Algae]], [[White Algae]], [[Seaweed]], or [[Trash]].

==Profitability==

==Stacking==

Unlike most items obtained by [[crafting]] of metals and wood in the game, tackle can be sold (both to [[Willy]], and via the [[Shipping Bin]]). Several of these crafting recipes are actually profitable, depending on whether or not the player has the [[Mining#Mining Skill|Blacksmith profession]]:

* 2 [[Spinner]]s: Reduces maximum delay before a nibble by 7.5 seconds, double the amount of time as with 1 Spinner.

* 2 [[Dressed Spinner]]s: Reduces maximum delay before a nibble by 15 seconds, double the amount of time as with 1 Dressed Spinner.

* 2 [[Trap Bobber]]s: The progress bar at the right decreases 50% slower when the fish isn't within the fishing bar, compared to 33% with 1 Trap Bobber.

* 2 [[Cork Bobber]]s: Increase the bar size by 48 pixels, double the amount as with 1 Cork Bobber.

* 2 [[Lead Bobber]]s: Prevents the bar from bouncing even more compared to 1 Lead Bobber.

* 2 [[Quality Bobber]]s: Increases the quality of the fish caught by 2 levels, double the amount of levels as with 1 Quality Bobber.

* 2 [[Sonar Bobber]]s: Provides no additional benefit compared to using 1 Sonar Bobber.
