How does the fishing mechanic work?

How does the fishing mechanic work? - Male mechanic working in garage

Terraria 1.2.4 added a fishing mechanic. I have a few questions on how it works exactly:

  1. What types of "critters" can be used as bait? So far I've seen that worms, grasshoppers, and fireflies work.
  2. What determines whether my bait is consumed? I occasionally catch junk (seaweed, old shoe, etc), and my bait count stays the same. I've even had this happen when I catch a fish.
  3. What does the "fishing power" stat for bait and fishing rods control? How often fish are caught? The value of what is caught? Something else?


Best Answer

  1. I have used grasshoppers, worms, butterflies, and fireflies. There might be others as well, but I'm not sure.
  2. I think I read somewhere that the bait power is its chance to not be consumed upon a catch. IE higher bait power means it stays around longer.
  3. I was trying to learn about the fishing power as well. My pure guess is that it is more likely to catch the rarer fish. (I have no idea though)
