Sell Price | 500g |
The Curiosity Lure is a tackle that increases the chance to catch rare fish. It can be found as a drop from breaking boxes, crates, or barrels in the Quarry Mine, Skull Cavern, or the Volcano Dungeon on Ginger Island, or as a random drop from some monsters in the Skull Cavern.
It is one of two fishing tackle that cannot be crafted, along with the Lead Bobber. It is also one of two fishing tackle that cannot be bought from Willy's Fish Shop, along with the Quality Bobber.
Only the Iridium Rod or the Advanced Iridium Rod can equip tackle. The Iridium Rod can only attach one tackle at a time, while the Advanced Iridium Rod can attach two. To attach tackle, left-click on the tackle, then right-click on the rod. To remove tackle, first right-click to remove any bait, then right-click to remove the tackle. For an Advanced Iridium Rod, the left tackle will be the first one removed.
Tackle does not stack in inventory or chests; each tackle takes up one inventory slot.
Global Effects
While fishing in any location 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 only refers to the calculation for determining which fish bites: this lure does not affect the time it takes before a fish will bite.[1]
Fish Affected by Location
Certain fish are given a separate bite chance increase when using this lure. This replaces the global effect mentioned previously. Assuming other special requirements are met (such as it being the correct season, meeting the fishing level requirement, or standing in the specific places required to catch Legendary Fish or Night Market fish), the curiosity lure will slightly improve the chance that the following fish will bite in these specific areas.
Beach [2]
Mines [3] Mountain [4] |
Sewer [5] Submarine [6] Notably, the Midnight Squid chance is not increased when fishing on the submarine, though it is increased when fishing on the beach (while meeting the other special requirements needed to fish for it there). Town [7] |
Rare Fish Not Affected
- The Glacierfish and Glacierfish Jr. are not affected by the curiosity lure, despite being listed among the Legendary Fish and Legendary Fish II respectively.[8]
- The Octopus is not affected by the curiosity lure in any area, even though it's the fish with the highest difficulty among all non-Legendary fish and normally has a very low bite rate.[2] [6]
- The Scorpion Carp is not affected by the curiosity lure, even though it has a very low spawn rate naturally when fishing at The Desert.[9]
