The Curiosity Lure is a special type of fishing tackle that can be found as a drop from breaking boxes, crates, or barrels in the Quarry Mine, Skull Cavern, or the Volcano Dungeon on Ginger Island, or as a random drop from some monsters in Skull Cavern. It increases the chance to catch rare fish.

You must have an Iridium Rod to equip tackle. To attach tackle to an Iridium Rod, left-click on the tackle, then right-click on the Iridium Rod. To remove Tackle, first right-click to remove any bait, then right-click to remove the tackle.

Fish Affected by Location

Assuming other special requirements are met (such as the correct season or having a high enough fishing level), the curiosity lure will slightly improve the chance that the following fish will bite in these specific areas.

Beach^[1]

Night Market fish (Note: this is a different calculation than submarine fishing.)
Crimsonfish
Son of Crimsonfish

Mines^[2]

Mountain^[3]

Sewer^[4]

Submarine^[5]

Notably, the Midnight Squid chance is not increased when fishing on the submarine, though it is increased when fishing on the beach (while meeting the other special requirements needed to fish for it there).
