Guide:Max fishing power

Fishing is a mechanic in Terraria that most people should know how to use. If you don't, go on the fishing page to learn the basics.

However, to get the best catches, not countless basses that fill up your chests, or trash items that don't even have a use (except Joja Cola, which can be used to obtain a pet), you want to have good fishing power. The higher, the better your catches will be.

So here is the list of things you can do to increase your fishing power.

Increasing your fishing power
Armor and Accessories

First, to have the highest fishing power possible, you must have the Angler Armor, which grants you 15 fishing power, with the bonus of decreased spawn rate of enemies, as well as some fishing-related accessories such as the Angler Tackle Bag, which grants you an additional 10% more fishing power, along with some other benefits.

Fishing Rod and Baits
Gaining more fishing power is also related to how vital baits and your fishing rod are. The most effective fishing rod is the Golden Fishing Rod, which can be acquired by completing the 30th quest for the Angler.(50th in ) and the most viable bait available is the Master Bait. [WIP]
