What Are Bobbers in Fish It?

Bobbers (sometimes called “Baits” in-game) are passive fishing accessories that attach to your rod and provide permanent stat bonuses every time you fish. These aren’t just cosmetic items – they’re game-changers that can dramatically increase your luck, mutation chances, shiny odds, and even EXP gain.

Think of bobbers as your fishing superpower. Even the basic Starter Bobber is better than nothing, but as you progress through the game, upgrading to better bobbers becomes crucial for catching those ultra-rare fish that can sell for millions of coins.

You can get bobbers from several sources:

Seth NPC at the Baits Shop on Fisherman Island
Traveling Merchants who appear randomly
NPC quest rewards for completing specific challenges
Gamepasses using Robux
Limited-time events with exclusive bobbers
Free methods like joining the Roblox group

These bobbers are available directly from Seth NPC at the Baits Shop on Fisherman Island. They’re the most reliable way to upgrade your fishing setup as you progress through the game.

Starter Bobber

Price: Free (given at game start)
Stats: +0% Luck
Location: Fisherman Island (default equipment)
My Take: Hey, we all start somewhere! While it doesn’t provide any bonuses, it’s better than fishing with nothing at all when you’re just beginning your journey.

Topwater Bobber

Price: $100
Stats: +8% Luck
Location: Fisherman Island Baits Shop
My Take: Your first real upgrade! For just 100 coins, you get a nice little luck boost that will help you catch slightly better fish as you’re starting out.

Midnight Bobber

Price: $3,000
Stats: +22% Luck
Location: Fisherman Island Baits Shop
My Take: This is where things get interesting. The Midnight Bobber offers excellent value for its price point and is a solid mid-tier option that will serve you well as you’re saving up for bigger upgrades.

Nature Bobber

Price: $83,000
Stats: +45% Luck +4% EXP Gain
Location: Fisherman Island Baits Shop
My Take: I love this bobber for its versatility! Not only do you get a substantial luck boost, but that 4% EXP gain really adds up over time, helping you level up faster and unlock better fishing spots.

Chroma Bobber

Price: $290,000
Stats: +100% Luck
Location: Fisherman Island Baits Shop
My Take: Breaking the 100% luck barrier is a game-changer! This bobber marks your transition from beginner to intermediate player, and you’ll definitely notice the difference in your catch rates.

Dark Matter Bobber

Price: $630,000
Stats: +160% Luck +5% EXP Gain +5% Shiny Chance
Location: Fisherman Island Baits Shop
My Take: This is my top recommendation for mid-game players! The combination of luck, EXP gain, and shiny chance makes it incredibly versatile and worth every coin. It’s the perfect stepping stone to late-game content.

Corrupt Bobber

Price: $1,150,000
Stats: +200% Luck +10% Mutation Chance +10% Shiny Chance
Location: Fisherman Island Baits Shop
My Take: When you’re ready to start hunting for those valuable mutated and shiny fish, the Corrupt Bobber is your best friend. The mutation and shiny chances really make a difference in your income potential.

Aether Bobber

Price: $3,700,000
Stats: +240% Luck +20% Mutation Chance +10% Shiny Chance
Location: Fisherman Island Baits Shop
My Take: A solid late-game option that bridges the gap between mid-tier and the absolute best bobbers. The mutation chance is particularly impressive here.

Floral Bobber

Price: $4,000,000
Stats: +320% Luck +140% Fairy Dust Mutation Chance
Location: Ancient Jungle (Sacred Temple)
My Take: This is the best buyable bobber in the game! The massive luck boost combined with that incredible Fairy Dust mutation chance makes it perfect for late-game players looking to maximize their earnings from high-value mutations.

Traveling Merchant Bobbers

The Traveling Merchant appears randomly at various locations and sells exclusive bobbers you can’t get anywhere else. Keep an eye out for them – their inventory is limited and changes!

Royal Bait Bobber

Price: $425,000
Stats: +130% Luck +30% Gold Mutation Chance
Location: Traveling Merchant (random spawns)
My Take: The Gold Mutation chance is what makes this special. Gold mutations can significantly increase the value of your catches, making this bobber a great investment for players focused on making money.

Singularity Bobber

Price: $8,200,000
Stats: +380% Luck +20% Gold Mutation Chance
Location: Traveling Merchant (random spawns)
My Take: This bobber has the highest raw luck stat in the game! While it’s incredibly expensive, if you’re specifically hunting for ultra-rare spawns and have the coins to spare, nothing beats the Singularity Bobber for pure luck.

Free and Quest Bobbers

These bobbers don’t cost coins but require specific actions or quest completion. They’re often overlooked but can provide significant value!

Beach Ball Bobber

Price: Free
Stats: +5% Luck
Location: Like the game and join the Roblox Group
My Take: It’s free and gives you a luck boost! There’s literally no reason not to get this bobber. Every little bit helps, especially when you’re starting out.

Aetherion Bobber

Price: Free (Quest Reward)
Stats: +500% Luck +10% Mutation Chance +10% Bonus Size +10% Shiny Chance
Location: Complete the Crystalline Secrets quest
Quest Requirements:
- Own an Element Rod
- Own a Singularity Bait
- Catch a Cursed Kraken
- Catch an Elpirate Gran Maja
- Catch a Mythic fish with Crystalized mutation
My Take: This is arguably the best bobber in the entire game! The 500% luck boost is insane, and you get bonuses across the board. However, the quest requirements are extremely challenging, making this a true end-game reward.

Gamepass Bobbers (Robux)

These bobbers require real money but can give you a nice early-game boost if you’re willing to spend.

Gold Bobber

Price: 445 Robux
Stats: +25% Luck
Location: Fisherman Island/VIP Package (Store)
My Take: Honestly, you can get better stats for coins relatively quickly. I’d only recommend this if you want to support the developers and get a small early boost.

Hyper Bobber

Price: 999 Robux
Stats: +40% Luck
Location: Fisherman Island/Hyper Boat Pack (Store)
My Take: Similar to the Gold Bobber, this falls behind coin-based options pretty quickly. Save your Robux unless you really want to speed up your very early game progression.

These bobbers are only available during special events and can’t be obtained once the event ends. Keep an eye on the official Fish It Discord and Twitter for announcements about upcoming events!

Pro Tips for Bobber Management

Always Use a Bobber: Never fish without one equipped, even if it’s just the free Starter Bobber.
Plan Your Upgrades: Don’t buy every bobber. Save up for significant upgrades like Dark Matter, then Floral.
Watch for Traveling Merchants: The Singularity Bobber is worth the wait if you can afford it.
Join the Community: Follow the official Fish It Discord and Reddit community for event announcements and merchant spawn alerts.
Complete Quests: The Aetherion Bobber quest is challenging but incredibly rewarding.
Consider Your Playstyle: If you focus on mutations, prioritize bobbers with mutation bonuses. If you’re hunting rare spawns, focus on pure luck.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overspending on Early Bobbers: Don’t buy every single bobber as you progress. Save for significant upgrades.
Ignoring Free Options: Always get the Beach Ball Bobber – it’s free luck!
Forgetting Events: Limited-time events often have exclusive bobbers you can’t get elsewhere.
Not Planning Ahead: Consider your end-game goals when choosing which bobbers to invest in.
Neglecting Quest Requirements: Start working on the Aetherion Bobber quest early, as some requirements take time to complete.
