Complete Fish It Bobbers Guide

S-Tier Bobbers: The Best of the Best

These bobbers offer the highest stat boosts in the game and are essential for end-game players chasing the rarest fish.

Singularity Bait – The Ultimate Luck Machine

Stats: 380% Luck Boost
Price: 8,200,000 coins
Location: Traveling Merchant
Why it’s S-Tier: The Singularity Bait offers the highest pure luck boost in Fish It at 380%. While it lacks additional effects like mutation or shiny chances, the sheer luck multiplier makes it invaluable for catching the rarest secret fish. The Traveling Merchant spawns randomly, so you’ll need to keep an eye out for this limited-time opportunity.

Pro Tip: The Singularity Bait is best used during events like Bloodmoon when server luck multipliers are active, potentially pushing your total luck over 1000% for insane catch rates.

Floral Bait – The Fairy Dust Specialist

Stats: 320% Luck + 2.4x Fairy Dust Mutation
Price: 4,000,000 coins
Location: Sacred Temple (Ancient Jungle)
Why it’s S-Tier: The Floral Bait offers the second-highest luck boost and comes with an exclusive 2.4x multiplier for Fairy Dust Mutations. This makes it the only bobber that can specifically boost your chances of getting this rare mutation type.

How to Access the Sacred Temple:

1. Travel to the Ancient Jungle (visible from anywhere in the ocean)
2. Follow the main path to the Sacred Temple
3. Find and collect all four artifacts: Arrow, Crescent, Diamond, and Hourglass Diamond
4. Use a Fishing Radar to locate artifacts more easily
5. Place all artifacts on the corresponding levers to open the temple door
6. Purchase the Floral Bait inside for 4 million coins

Pro Tip: The Sacred Temple artifacts reset periodically, so coordinate with friends to collect them faster. The Floral Bait is particularly valuable during the Ancient Jungle’s special events.

A-Tier Bobbers: Excellent Mid-to-End Game Options

These bobbers offer great value and are perfect for players progressing through the mid-game phases.

Aether Bait – The Balanced Powerhouse

Stats: 260% Luck + 20% Mutation Chance + 10% Shiny Chance
Price: 3,700,000 coins
Location: Bobber Shop (Fisherman Island)
Why it’s A-Tier: The Aether Bait provides an excellent balance of high luck boost plus significant increases to both mutation and shiny chances. It’s the best regularly available bobber from the shop and serves as a perfect stepping stone to the S-tier options.

Pro Tip: This is the bobber I recommend most players save up for after getting their first decent rod. The 20% mutation chance makes it much easier to complete your bestiary entries.

Corrupt Bait – The Mutation Master

Stats: 220% Luck + 10% Mutation Chance + 10% Shiny Chance
Price: 1,150,000 coins
Location: Bobber Shop (Fisherman Island)
Why it’s A-Tier: At just over 1 million coins, the Corrupt Bait offers incredible value with balanced stats across luck, mutations, and shinies. It’s much more affordable than the Aether Bait while still providing excellent all-around performance.

Pro Tip: The Corrupt Bait is perfect for players who want to diversify their catch rates without breaking the bank. Use it when you’re specifically hunting for mutated versions of common fish.

Dark Matter Bait – The Best Value Pick

Stats: 160% Luck + 5% EXP Gain + 5% Shiny Chance
Price: 630,000 coins
Location: Bobber Shop (Fisherman Island)
Why it’s A-Tier: The Dark Matter Bait offers the best bang for your buck in the entire game. For just 630,000 coins, you get a substantial luck boost plus bonus EXP and shiny chances. This makes it the perfect mid-game investment.

Pro Tip: I recommend this as the first “major” bobber purchase for most players. The EXP bonus helps you level up faster while the luck boost significantly improves your catch rates.

B-Tier Bobbers: Solid Mid-Game Choices

These bobbers are great for mid-game progression but will eventually be replaced by higher-tier options.

Royal Bait – The Merchant’s Special

Stats: 130% Luck
Price: 425,000 coins
Location: Traveling Merchant
Why it’s B-Tier: The Royal Bait offers a decent luck boost and is available from the Traveling Merchant. While it’s outperformed by the Aether and Corrupt baits, it’s a good option if you find the merchant and have coins to spare.

Pro Tip: The Traveling Merchant also sells the Singularity Bait, so if you see them, check if you can afford the higher-tier option first.

Chroma Bait – The Luck Breakthrough

Stats: 100% Luck
Price: 290,000 coins
Location: Bobber Shop (Fisherman Island)
Why it’s B-Tier: The Chroma Bait is the first bobber to break the 100% luck barrier, making it a significant milestone in your progression. It’s expensive but worth the investment for players serious about catching rarer fish.

Pro Tip: This bobber marks the point where you’ll start noticing a dramatic difference in your catch rates. Save up for it as your first major purchase after getting established.

Nature Bait – The EXP Farmer’s Friend

Stats: 45% Luck + 4% EXP Gain
Price: 83,000 coins
Location: Bobber Shop (Fisherman Island)
Why it’s B-Tier: The Nature Bait offers moderate luck plus a small EXP bonus, making it perfect for players who want to level up while they fish. It’s relatively affordable and provides good value for early-to-mid game players.

Pro Tip: Use this bobber when you’re specifically grinding for levels or completing bestiary entries that require catching multiple fish of the same type.

C-Tier Bobbers: Early Game & Special Options

These bobbers are suitable for beginners or serve specific niche purposes.

Hyper Bait & Gold Bait – The Premium Options

Stats: 40% Luck (Hyper) / 25% Luck (Gold)
Price: 999 Robux (Hyper) / 445 Robux (Gold)
Location: Gamepass Store
Why they’re C-Tier: While these bobbers offer convenience for players willing to spend Robux, they’re quickly outperformed by coin-purchased options. I generally recommend saving your Robux for other investments unless you really want to speed up your early progression.

Pro Tip: If you do purchase these, use them only in the very early game before upgrading to the Nature Bait or better.

Midnight Bait – The First Real Upgrade

Stats: 22% Luck
Price: 3,500 coins
Location: Bobber Shop (Fisherman Island)
Why it’s C-Tier: The Midnight Bait is the first meaningful upgrade from the starter options and provides a noticeable boost to your fishing luck. It’s affordable and serves as a good early-game investment.

Pro Tip: This is typically the first bobber you should purchase after getting started with the free options.

Luck Bait – The Budget Option

Stats: 12% Luck
Price: 1,000 coins
Location: Bobber Shop (Fisherman Island)
Why it’s C-Tier: The Luck Bait offers a small but noticeable improvement over the starter bobber for a very low price. It’s perfect for players who have just started earning coins and want a small edge.

Pro Tip: This bobber was added in the Coral Reefs Update and fills the gap between the starter options and the Midnight Bait.

Beach Ball Bait – The Free Starter Boost

Stats: 5% Luck
Price: Free
Location: Like the game and join the Roblox group
Why it’s C-Tier: While it only offers a small luck boost, the Beach Ball Bait is completely free and easy to obtain. Every bit of luck helps when you’re starting out.

Pro Tip: This is a must-get for all new players. The 5% boost might not seem like much, but it adds up over time and costs you nothing.

Topwater Bait & Starter Bait – The Beginning

Stats: 8% Luck (Topwater) / 0% Luck (Starter)
Price: 100 coins (Topwater) / Free (Starter)
Location: Bobber Shop (Fisherman Island)
Why they’re C-Tier: These are the most basic bobbers in the game. The Starter Bait is given to you automatically, while the Topwater Bait costs virtually nothing. They’re suitable for absolute beginners but should be upgraded quickly.

Pro Tip: Don’t spend too much time with these bobbers. Save your coins and upgrade to the Luck Bait or Midnight Bait as soon as possible.

New Features & Recent Updates December 2025

Bobber Skins: The Latest Addition

According to the official Fish It Twitter, the developers plan to expand this system with matching items for rod skins and free-to-play options.

Current Bobber Skins Available:

• Basic color variations
• Limited event skins
• Premium cosmetic options

Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the official Fish It Discord for announcements about new skin releases and special events.

The massive Ancient Jungle Update brought significant changes to the bobber system, including:

• Floral Bait: Added as part of the Sacred Temple content
• F2P Battle Pass: Available at the end of the Ancient Jungle
• New OP Rods: That pair perfectly with high-tier bobbers
• Transcended Stone: For double enchanting capabilities

• New Bobber Added: Between Midnight and Chroma tiers (Coral Reefs Update)
• Friend Luck System: +10% luck for up to 5 friends playing in your server

Pro Strategies for Bobber Usage

Early Game Progression (0-100k coins)

1. Start with Beach Ball Bait: Get this free 5% luck boost immediately
2. Upgrade to Luck Bait: Spend 1,000 coins for 12% luck
3. Target Midnight Bait: Save up 3,500 coins for 22% luck
4. Skip Gamepass Bobbers: They’re not worth the Robux for most players

Mid Game Progression (100k-1M coins)

1. Nature Bait First: 83,000 coins for 45% luck + 4% EXP
2. Chroma Bait Milestone: 290,000 coins breaks the 100% luck barrier
3. Royal Bait Opportunity: Buy from Traveling Merchant if you see them
4. Dark Matter Bait: 630,000 coins for excellent value

Late Game Progression (1M+ coins)

1. Corrupt Bait: 1.15M coins for balanced stats
2. Aether Bait: 3.7M coins for the best regular shop option
3. Floral Bait: 4M coins but requires Sacred Temple access
4. Singularity Bait: 8.2M coins from Traveling Merchant (ultimate goal)

Event & Special Situation Strategies

Bloodmoon Events:

• Use your highest luck bobber (Singularity or Aether)
• Combine with Luck Potions for maximum effect
• Focus on areas with known secret fish spawns

Fairy Dust Hunting:

• Floral Bait is essential (2.4x multiplier)
• Fish in Ancient Jungle for best results
• Use during server luck boosts for maximum chances

Shiny Hunting:

• Corrupt or Aether Bait for best shiny chances
• Fish in areas with high base shiny rates
• Patience is key – shiny rates are typically 1-5%

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Skipping the Free Options

Many players ignore the Beach Ball Bait because it only gives 5% luck. This is a mistake – free stats are free stats, and every bit helps when you’re starting out.

2. Buying Gamepass Bobbers Too Early

The Hyper and Gold Baits seem tempting, but they’re quickly outperformed by coin-purchased options. Save your Robux for better investments like boats or permanent upgrades.

3. Not Planning for the Traveling Merchant

The Traveling Merchant appears randomly and sells some of the best bobbers in the game. Always keep some coins saved up (at least 500k) so you can purchase the Royal or Singularity Bait when they appear.

4. Ignoring the EXP Bonus

Many players focus only on luck and ignore the EXP bonus on bobbers like Nature and Dark Matter Bait. Leveling up faster gives you access to better areas and equipment, so these bonuses are valuable.

5. Not Using Bobbers at All

I’ve seen players save up for expensive rods but never equip bobbers. This is like buying a sports car but never putting gas in it. Always have a bobber equipped, even if it’s just the free Starter Bait.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best bobber in Fish It?

The Singularity Bait is technically the best bobber in Fish It with 380% luck, making it perfect for catching the rarest fish. However, the Floral Bait is often considered more practical due to its 320% luck plus 2.4x Fairy Dust mutation bonus, and it’s much cheaper at 4 million coins compared to 8.2 million.

How do I get the Floral Bait in Fish It?

To get the Floral Bait, you need to:

1. Travel to the Ancient Jungle island
2. Find the Sacred Temple
3. Collect all four artifacts (Arrow, Crescent, Diamond, Hourglass Diamond)
4. Place the artifacts on the corresponding levers to open the temple
5. Purchase the Floral Bait inside for 4,000,000 coins

Where does the Traveling Merchant spawn in Fish It?

The Traveling Merchant spawns randomly at various locations throughout the game world. There’s no fixed schedule or location, so you need to keep exploring and check different islands regularly. When you find the merchant, they’ll have the Royal Bait (425k coins) and Singularity Bait (8.2M coins) available for purchase.

Are bobber skins worth it in Fish It?

Bobber skins are purely cosmetic and don’t affect your fishing stats. They’re worth getting if you enjoy customizing your equipment’s appearance, but they don’t provide any gameplay advantages. Free-to-play versions are planned for future updates.

What’s the difference between bobbers and bait in Fish It?

In Fish It, “bobbers” and “bait” are often used interchangeably to refer to the same equipment slot. Both terms refer to items that provide permanent stat boosts to your fishing rod when equipped. The game’s UI sometimes uses “Bait” while players commonly call them “bobbers.”

How often should I upgrade my bobber?

You should upgrade your bobber whenever you can afford the next tier without compromising your rod progression. A good rule of thumb is to spend about 20-30% of your total coins on bobber upgrades. For example, if you have 100k coins, consider upgrading to the Nature Bait (83k) while saving the rest for rod improvements.

Do bobbers work on all fishing rods?

Yes, bobbers work with all fishing rods in Fish It. The stat boosts from bobbers are applied to whatever rod you have equipped, making them essential regardless of your rod tier.

Can I use multiple bobbers at once?

No, you can only equip one bobber at a time in Fish It. Choose the bobber that best suits your current goals – whether that’s maximizing luck, hunting specific mutations, or gaining EXP faster.

Conclusion

Mastering the bobber system in Fish It is essential for anyone serious about catching rare fish and progressing efficiently through the game. From the free Beach Ball Bait to the ultimate Singularity Bait, each option serves a specific purpose in your fishing journey.
