'''Tackle''' can be attached to the [[Iridium Rod]] or [[Advanced 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 the [[Fish Shop]] once they are unlocked. Tackles have a durability bar, which decreases on use. Normally, they wear out and disappear after 20 nibbles by fish (indicated by "HIT" popping up on screen). Tackle does not wear out when catching junk items, specifically when catching [[Green Algae]], [[White Algae]], [[Seaweed]], [[Sea Jelly]], [[River Jelly]], [[Cave Jelly]], or [[Trash]].

Only the [[Iridium Rod]] or [[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.

*If you wait until the last use of a tackle, you can instead sell the tackle for more than most fish are worth individually; durability does not affect the price of the tackle when sold.  
+
When using the [[Advanced Iridium Rod]] with two tackles, the tackle effects will always stack if the tackles are different. If the tackles are the same, the tackle effects may stack depending on the tackle. Below is a list of the effects when two of the same tackle is equipped:
 +
 
 +
* 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 [[Treasure Hunter]]s: Along with also preventing the fish from escaping when collecting treasures, treasure chance is increased by 10%, double the chance as with 1 Treasure Hunter.
 +
* 2 [[Barbed Hook]]s: Makes the fishing bar cling to the catch even more compared to 1 Barbed Hook.
 +
* 2 [[Curiosity Lure]]s: Provides no additional benefit compared to using 1 Curiosity Lure.
 +
* 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.
 +
 
 +
==Profitability==
 +
Unlike most items obtained by [[crafting]] of metals and wood in the game, tackle can be sold (both to [[Willy]] and via the [[Shipping|Shipping Bin]]). Several of these crafting recipes are actually profitable, depending on whether or not the player has the [[Mining#Mining Skill|Blacksmith profession]]:

This page or section contains unmarked spoilers from update 1.6 of Stardew Valley. Players may want to avoid or be cautious toward reading this article/section.

Tackle can be attached to the Iridium Rod or Advanced Iridium Rod to make it easier to catch fish. Most recipes unlock as the player's fishing level increases. Most tackle can also be purchased from the Fish Shop once they are unlocked. Tackles have a durability bar, which decreases on use. Normally, they wear out and disappear after 20 nibbles by fish (indicated by "HIT" popping up on screen). Tackle does not wear out when catching junk items, specifically when catching Green Algae, White Algae, Seaweed, Sea Jelly, River Jelly, Cave Jelly, or Trash.

Only the Iridium Rod or 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.

 Treasure Hunter Fish don't escape while collecting treasures. Also slightly increases the chance to find treasures. Increases treasure chance by 5%.

 Barbed Hook Makes your catch more secure, causing the "fishing bar" to cling to your catch. Works best on slow, weak fish. Makes the player's fishing bar "cling" to the fish, automatically going up or down to try to stay on the middle of the fish. It will only try to move when the bar is actually on the fish. The player can still manually control the bar but it's rather difficult, especially with slower fish.

Stacking

When using the Advanced Iridium Rod with two tackles, the tackle effects will always stack if the tackles are different. If the tackles are the same, the tackle effects may stack depending on the tackle. Below is a list of the effects when two of the same tackle is equipped:

  • 2 Spinners: Reduces maximum delay before a nibble by 7.5 seconds, double the amount of time as with 1 Spinner.
  • 2 Dressed Spinners: Reduces maximum delay before a nibble by 15 seconds, double the amount of time as with 1 Dressed Spinner.
  • 2 Trap Bobbers: 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 Bobbers: Increase the bar size by 48 pixels, double the amount as with 1 Cork Bobber.
  • 2 Lead Bobbers: Prevents the bar from bouncing even more compared to 1 Lead Bobber.
  • 2 Treasure Hunters: Along with also preventing the fish from escaping when collecting treasures, treasure chance is increased by 10%, double the chance as with 1 Treasure Hunter.
  • 2 Barbed Hooks: Makes the fishing bar cling to the catch even more compared to 1 Barbed Hook.
  • 2 Curiosity Lures: Provides no additional benefit compared to using 1 Curiosity Lure.
  • 2 Quality Bobbers: Increases the quality of the fish caught by 2 levels, double the amount of levels as with 1 Quality Bobber.
  • 2 Sonar Bobbers: Provides no additional benefit compared to using 1 Sonar Bobber.

Profitability

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 Blacksmith profession:

  • Sonar Bobber.png Sonar Bobber (+data-sort-value="280">Gold.png280g if the player doesn't have the Blacksmith profession, +data-sort-value="220">Gold.png220g with Blacksmith)
