Terraria fishing

Poles, bait, crates and the Angler's quest fish. Fishing power is your pole plus your bait: more power, better catches.

What bites where (98)

Where each catch shows up. The tier is how good the roll has to be: more fishing power makes the rare ones bite more often.

Fishing poles

By fishing power, weakest first.

Bait

By bait power, strongest first. Each cast has a chance to use up the bait: the stronger it is, the longer it lasts.

Crates

After Hardmode starts, every crate you fish is its Hardmode version.

Pre-Hardmode

Hardmode

Quest fish (41)

The Angler asks for one of these each day. They can't be sold or stored for later quests.
