Even though they are easy to catch, they are not an extremely common fish, so they won’t often appear on your line. However, to have a higher chance of reeling one in, we recommendusing baitto attract them. you may eitherbuy some from Willy’s Shop for 5g, or you can make your own.
We also recommend using a bobber to simplify the process even more. The best option for catching eel is theCork Bobber, as it will extend your fishing bar size.This way, you’ll more likely catch aniridium-quality eelthat will sell for a higher price.
