Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use multiple bobbers at once?

No, you can only equip one bobber at a time. However, you can change bobbers instantly from your inventory.

Do bobbers affect what fish I catch?

Not directly, but luck bonuses increase rare fish spawn rates. Better bobbers = better catches overall.

What's the rarest bobber in the game?

Mythical Bobber has a 0.01% drop rate from Mythical fish, making it the rarest. Atlantean is the best while being guaranteed through quests.

Do cosmetic bobbers waste an equipment slot?

No, bobbers don't take up enchantment slots or rod slots. They're purely bonus stats with no downside (except D-tier bobbers).

Can I sell bobbers I don't want?

Yes, most bobbers can be sold for 50% of their purchase price. Event bobbers usually can't be sold.

Does bobber visibility actually matter?

Yes! If you can't see your bobber, you'll miss bites. Night fishing without a glowing bobber is extremely difficult.

Are event bobbers worth grinding for?

Absolutely. Aurora and Phantom bobbers are S/A-tier and only available during limited events. Don't miss them.

What bobber should beginners prioritize?

Start with Standard Bobber (free), then upgrade to Wooden Bobber (500 C$) as your first purchase. Save for Enchanted Bobber (8,000 C$) as your mid-game goal.

Conclusion

Bobbers might seem like a minor detail, but the right one can significantly boost your fishing efficiency. Prioritize Atlantean Bobber if you're doing deep sea content, Golden Bobber for money farming, and Mythical Bobber for rare fish hunting.

Don't waste C$ on cosmetic bobbers like Festive or Broken variants. Focus your budget on S-tier and A-tier options that provide real stat benefits.

Remember: you can swap bobbers anytime, so collect multiple S-tier options for different scenarios. Happy fishing!
