Base odds of hooking a legendary fish per pond, before Chance Bait.
What is Clear Bait?
Resets a pond's legendary fish count, letting you catch a legendary fish from it again.
What is Chance Bait?
Raises the odds of hooking a legendary fish on the retries that follow.
What is Retry Bait?
Lets you intentionally snap the line on a non-legendary catch. Keep retrying until the reeling indicator shows a legendary fish, then reel it in for real.
Before reeling in, the wheel's gauge arc previews the rarity you're about to catch — the wider and brighter the arc, the higher the rarity. Captured on the Epic fishing rod; the exact arc size may vary by rod.

Two ways to work through a pond before moving to the next one.
Slow Fishing
RecommendedFish a pond to its full limit — burn through Clear Bait, Chance Bait, and Retry Bait back to back before moving on.
Rush Fishing
Only use Clear Bait and Chance Bait, then move straight to the next pond. Save Retry Bait for once you have the Epic fishing rod, then work back through each pond with it.
