​Catching
Fishing rods your character uses determines what depth range your character can fish in. Each new rod fishes in a deeper region, but must be upgraded to reach a wider range.

Baits and hooks will be needed to find all the different kinds of fish. Different baits and hooks give you higher chances of finding fish from certain categories. While standard baits allow you to find many rare fish, the cheaper and more inclusive option is to experiment with expert baits and hooks, each combination allowing you to find different sets of fish. Purchasing any bait or hook will give 25 of each per purchase.

To reveal what bait and hook works best to find a certain fish, you can either spend some pearls or build your fish mastery to S. Each time you fish that fish, the probability of getting a higher rank fish increases until A rank. From then on, using the proper combination of baits and hooks is the only way to unlock S and SS ranks.

Baits and Lures
When using expert bait, the fish you can catch include Rare, Very Rare and Ultra Rare fish that have the used bait as their preferred bait, next to all Common fish. It doesn't leave out the Common fish that have other preferred baits than the used one. In other words, when aiming for a specific Common fish, it's best to always use Standard Fish Food i.s.o. expert bait, to make sure that the range of catchable fish is as limited as possible.

Hooks
Hooks are only unlocked in the game once you fish a hook catalogue!
