	::::::::::::I understand the reasoning for "we don't want to give advice, so we won't warn players specifically not to use legendary fish". That's fair enough. But I do think it's weird to specifically call out that you CAN use legendary fish. Why even mention them? It does almost feel like a trap, the way it's currently worded. Why not "Any fish can be used, including Crab Pot Fish." or just "Any fish can be used."? I don't see a benefit to the page making extra note of the fact that you could stuff legendary fish in there. (For reference in case it's changed, the page currently specifically states: "Any fish can be used, including Legendary Fish and Crab Pot Fish.")

			:::::::::::::: Apologies about indentation! My accessibility options mean the formatting that I see is usually not what the typical user sees, so I don't always notice that. Hopefully I'm doing it correctly now! I guess it does make sense to acknowledge due to special rules, but in that case, I'd say the special rule about catching multiples should also be acknowledged. The sentence right before says that the targeted bait "will increase the chance of catching that fish when attached". That sentence isn't really true about legendary fish (except for possibly in multiplayer). By the time you have the bait, you must have already used the fish to make it, so the chance to catch has gone down to 0 and using the bait will keep the chance at 0. If we're going to specify that legendary fish can be used in the machine, we should also specify that the result won't be the same as with any other fish (i.e. you'll end up with a bait that does nothing, rather than one that increases the catch chance as stated). If you still prefer it as-is, then I guess we'll just agree to disagree! [[User:ChloeCat\|ChloeCat]] ([[User talk:ChloeCat\|talk]]) 20:09, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
