Baits and the rod
Better bait raises the luck on every cast, which pushes catches toward the rare end of each band, and makes the reeling minigame easier. The Golden Rod costs $50,000 and holds 35 fish.
| Bait | Price | Luck | Easier reel | Bite wait | Avg multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Worm | $10,000 | x1 | 4 to 9 s | x0.899 | |
 Shrimp | $50,000 | x1.25 | +6% | 6 to 12 s | x1.021 |
 Golden Lure | $100,000 | x1.6 | +12% | 8 to 15 s | x1.219 |
Reeling difficulty
Rarer fish take more shakes to hook, give you a smaller catch bar and move faster.
| Rarity | Shakes | Catch bar | Fish speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 3 | 34% | 0.45 |
| Uncommon | 4 | 31% | 0.6 |
| Rare | 5 | 28% | 0.78 |
| Epic | 6 | 25% | 0.95 |
| Legendary | 7 | 22% | 1.15 |
| Cosmic | 8 | 20% | 1.3 |
