Question about Fishing Lures

[Omni_S]

Is true that it’s possible (As of this current patch) to catch every type of fish using a single component? I am aware that most fish react to multiple lure components (Like sunfish who like eyes and tongues) and that having those multiple components that fish like increase the chances of catching it. But I am wondering if it is possible to catch every type of fish currently in this game using single component lures (Assuming that the player has every type of lure that can be made with a single material)

[Cowboy]

Yes. Every fish has at minimum 1 lure it can be caught with. No fish yet require 2 lure parts.

[Czech_E]

But are the chances for some fish around 1%-ish without 2 components? I have been unable to catch two fish in particular while using a single component and an attractor. Maybe I am just extremely unlucky…

[Zenthar]

I’ve had trouble figuring this out as well. The game says Catfish like Feathers and yet Feather lures don’t catch them. Tooth and Feather lures catch the same number of catfish as Tooth lures too, so I’m not sure if the fisherman was wrong or if something else is amiss.

Here’s what Riley specifically said when I asked him about this:

Fishing Myths @riley

Some fish do have a “required” lure part. Catfish are one of these.
You could catch a Catfish with only its required lure part, but having multiple lure parts it’s attracted to will increase your chances.
If you don’t have the required lure part, even if you have one of the other lure parts it’s attracted to, it will nibble and not bite.

Fishing Myths @riley

Generally speaking, all fish other than the really basic ones have at least one required part, some have more than one required part.

Fishing Myths @riley

So there are three fish that aren’t actually in the game yet that require more than one required part. I am just hedging against when those are introduced.

This last quote was in response to someone stating that they have caught every fish available using only one part.

I totally agree.

I’m wondering if I’ve actually found all the single-components that are available for fishing. Perhaps there are one or two end-game only lures or lures that have to be crafted.

Does anyone know?

From the WIKI :

Lure Parts

Currently, each lure may be created with between 1 and 3 ingredients. Ingredients for lures can be found by simply killing monsters out in the world. Right now there are 10 lure parts that are available: Lesser Eye, Small Tongue, Small Tooth, Blue Scales, Feathers, Rotten Finger, Bloody Flesh, Shinny Metal, Large Minnow (must be caught, not dropped from monsters), Eye Worm. Once you have collected some lure parts, you’re ready to make a lure! .

So 10 items ingame for making lure parts

[Richard_A]

So, the shiny metal and eye worm are in the game. And, they’re monster drops.

I tend not to trust the wiki, since most of the data comes from beta.

I figured by level 16, I’d seen all the fishing drops by now.

Thanks for confirming.

can confirm that the wiki is up to date in regards to what Decnav posted

[Pontifi]

This page must be a little out of date then:

Edit: Now it is up-to-date, though I didn’t have all the table information at hand.
