Fishing gear and weapons
The official description says cash buys new lures and weapons. The September 6 walkthrough names Basic Lure as the starting bait and Sharpen Knife as an upgrade at Fisherman Joe. These establish examples, not a complete equipment catalogue.
Before buying an upgrade
Our spending checklist focuses on information you can inspect in your current session.
- Read the item description and identify the action it changes.
- Check the current price and your balance.
- Check whether you are selecting, equipping or purchasing; these are different decisions.
- Avoid assuming an item is strongest from its name or artwork alone.
Why there is no tier list
The reviewed material does not provide comparable damage, attack speed, lure rates or upgrade scaling. It therefore cannot establish a best purchase order. The knife upgrade is a reported option, not a required purchase or a proven optimum.
For input prompts after equipping your rod, use the Controls and Boat Parties guide.
Quick answers
Does a named upgrade guarantee a specific damage increase?
No verified damage change is available in this review. Read the current item description instead of assigning a guessed percentage.
Is this a complete equipment catalogue?
No. Basic Lure and Sharpen Knife are reported examples, not a complete list or a ranked purchase order.
