Are you ready to cast your line and reel in some epic catches in Terraria? With the latest updates, fishing has become an even more exciting experience. In this article, we'll dive into the world of Terraria fishing rods, highlighting the changes and new features that will make you a master angler.

Increased Fishing Power

---------------------

The Fiberglass Fishing Pole has received a boost in power, now offering 30% increased catch rate compared to its previous 27%. The Scarab Fishing Rod also joins the party with a 5% increase in fishing power. These upgrades mean more frequent catches and a higher chance of landing rare fish.

New Features

----------

Desktop 1.4.4 brings some exciting new features to the world of Terraria fishing. For starters, the currently selected bait is now displayed by the cursor, making it easier to keep track of your lures. The Fishing Bobber accessory allows you to customize the appearance of your bobber, adding a touch of personal flair to your angling experience.

You can also change the color of your line by equipping a string in vanity slots. This may seem like a small detail, but it's a great way to personalize your gear and make your fishing trips even more enjoyable.

Blood Moon Bonanza

---------------

The Chum Caster has received an update that increases the chance of hooking an enemy during a Blood Moon from 16.67% to 33.33%. This means you'll have a better shot at landing some rare and powerful fish during these events.

Fishing in Lava

----------

Now, you can fish in lava using any fishing pole on Desktop, Console, and Mobile versions. The Hotline Fishing Hook allows you to do so, even in the absence of bait. On the other hand, the Lavaproof Fishing Hook and Lavaproof Tackle Bag make it possible to fish in lava with a much higher catch frequency.

Rare Fish and Rewards

The Obsidifish and Flarefin Koi are exclusive to fishing in lava, making them highly sought after by Terraria enthusiasts. To get your hands on these elusive catches, you'll need to brave the fiery depths of the underworld.

Hotline Fishing Hook and Bobber

The Hotline Fishing Hook has a 1/75 (1.33%) chance of being obtained from the Angler in Hardmode after completing 25 quests. When used in combination with the Lavaproof Fishing Hook or Lavaproof Tackle Bag, this item significantly increases catch frequency.

Sitting Duck's Bobber
