The Tackle Box

Legends abound of bards who sang so sweetly that the fish who heard them would leap out of the water. Similarly, orators so eloquent, they convinced fish to climb into the pan of their own, and fishermen so skilled that they could make a bare hook seem appetizing.

Alas, unless one is a net fisher on the great vessels of Limsa Lominsa--or a goblin, willing to throw explosives into the water, also known in the fishing community as "cheating"--the average fisherman is confined to the rod, reel, and hook. And no fish was ever so hungry that a bit of sharp metal seemed irresistible!

Thus, the need for a bait box. But which to use, and in which waters, can be itself a great mystery to unfold. Fear not! For within these pages, you will find a complete listing of every bait that every fish will take.

Be advised that the tastes of fish in different waters may vary, due to environment and typical diet. The below is a means to isolate what sorts of fish one can catch with what lures and tackle he has in his bait box already. To ensure the best chance of catching a specific fish, do be sure to check its individual listing in the chapter on fish.
