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]].

It is one of two fishing tackle that cannot be [[Crafting|crafted]], along with the [[Lead Bobber]]. It is also one of two fishing tackle that cannot be bought from [[Fish Shop|Willy's Fish Shop]], along with the [[Quality Bobber]].

Note that using two Curiosity Lures on an [[Advanced Iridium Rod]] provides no additional benefit as opposed to only using one.

==Global Effects==
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: [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]], the fish in [[The Mines]], and the [[Night Market#Fishing Submarine|Night Market fish]]. This is 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>.
There are four types of fish that are given separate increases and are not part of the global effect described above: [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary fish]], the fish in [[the Mines]], [[Night Market#Fishing Submarine|Night Market fish]], and Waterfalls fish. This is because the spawn requirements for these fish are ignored in <samp>Data\Locations.xnb</samp>, or in the case of the Mines fish, the chances of hooking those fish are handled in the game code.
==Specific Fish Affected by Type==
==Specific Fish Affected by Type==
As mentioned above, some fish are given separate bite rate increases not covered by the global effect, because they are handled directly in the game code. Assuming all requirements are met to hook it, the curiosity lure will improve the chance that the following fish will bite:

*The base percentage chance to catch each fish depends on fishing zone and fishing level. The Curiosity Lure adds a static percentage increase to the chance to catch the fish. For the [[Stonefish]], the chance increases by 5%. For the [[Ice Pip]], the chance increases by 4.5%. For the [[Lava Eel]], the chance increases by 4%.<ref name="MineShaft" />

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:
