Fishing Tackle can be attached to fishing rods to change different mechanics while fishing.
You must have an Iridium Rod to equip tackle. To attach the tackle to the rod, right-click on the tackle first and then right-click the Iridium Rod. Remove tackle by right-clicking the rod.
Tackle can be acquired by either purchasing from Willy's shop at the Beach, getting a treasure chest from fishing, or crafting.
You can equip up to two pieces of tackle on the rod. Tackle can lose its power if being used for a prolonged period of time. A green bar will appear one the tackle icon showing how much you've used up.
