Fishing Tackle

Stardew Valley fishing tackle guide: Learn about the Barbed Hook, Cork Bobber, Spinner, and more, including their effects, crafting recipes, and costs from Willy.

Barbed Hook

The Barbed Hook makes your catch more secure, causing the fishing bar (the bar you control to catch fish) to cling to your catch. It works best on slow, weak fish. You can craft it with a recipe learned at Fishing Level 8, or buy it from Willy for 1000g. It sells for 500g.

Cork Bobber

The Cork Bobber slightly increases the size of your fishing bar. You can craft it with a recipe learned at Fishing Level 7, or buy it from Willy for 750g. It sells for 250g.

Dressed Spinner

The Dressed Spinner features a metal tab and colorful streamers to entice fish, increasing the bite-rate when fishing. You can craft it with a recipe learned at Fishing Level 8, or buy it from Willy for 1000g. It sells for 500g.

Lead Bobber

The Lead Bobber adds weight to your fishing bar, preventing it from bouncing along the bottom. You can purchase this from the Fish Shop (run by Willy) for 200g. It sells for 150g.

Spinner

The Spinner's shape causes it to spin in the water, slightly increasing the bite-rate when fishing. You can craft it with a recipe learned at Fishing Level 6, or buy it from Willy for 500g. It sells for 250g.

Trap Bobber

The Trap Bobber causes fish to escape slower when you aren't reeling them in. You can craft it with a recipe learned at Fishing Level 6, or buy it from Willy for 500g. It sells for 200g.

Treasure Hunter

The Treasure Hunter prevents fish from escaping while you are collecting treasures and slightly increases your chance to find treasures. You can craft it with a recipe learned at Fishing Level 7, or buy it from Willy for 750g. It sells for 250g.
