Cold-forged. Keeps its cool when the fish don't.

Grown, not made. It took forty years.

• Tier 10

Something from the deep coiled round it and never let go. It glows.

• Tier 11
• Casts 30 m

Woven from the night sky. The sun and moon meet at its butt.

Bends like a reed. Wide zones, soft strikes: made for darters, ghosts and the slippery.

• Unlocks at level 6
• Tier 3

Thick as a fence post. Hits hard and bites through armor; the zones are narrower for it.

Two pieces, one wiggle. Big fish hate it.

Glows in the dark. And in the light. It can't stop.

• Tier 10

Fell from the sky one night. The fish keep looking up.

• Tier 11

Still cooling. The water hisses wherever it goes.

• Tier 12

A falling star with a hook in it. Fish follow the tail for miles.

A weighted rig that drags along the bed. Catfish, crabs, flatfish and everything else down there come over keen.

• Unlocks at level 5
• Tier 3

Made for 28 species, like the Catfish, Flatfish, Turbot, Blobfish, Anglerfish or Southern Stingray.

Made for 17 species, like the Black Lionfish, Anglerfish, Goblin Shark, Squirrelfish, Moon Jelly or Lobster.

Wriggly bait. Fish bite sooner, nibble less, give you longer to strike, and rarer ones go for it more. One goes each time a fish takes it.

Chirps on the hook. The fish near the top, and the leapers, can't resist one.

• Unlocks at level 5
• Stacks to 50

Made for 42 species, like the Goldfish, Blue Goldfish, Tetra, Betta, Royal Gramma or Cardinal Fish.

• Stacks to 50

Made for 28 species, like the Catfish, Flatfish, Turbot, Blobfish, Anglerfish or Southern Stingray.

A grub that glows in the dark. The night fish come to it from across the pond, and rarer ones go for it more.

Made for 17 species, like the Black Lionfish, Anglerfish, Goblin Shark, Squirrelfish, Moon Jelly or Lobster.
