The two you summon

Rainbow Bait and Frost Bait are crafted at the Bait Seller and summon the Rainbow Dragon Fish and Frost Queen Fish respectively. Both are rod materials and orb sources, which makes them the only two secret fish you can farm on a schedule instead of waiting for weather.

Luck bait

Bait raises the Luck stat that decides how often rare fish appear at all. The ladder is short:

BaitLuckPrice
Basic Bait+3% Luck100
Crude Mash Bait+8% Luck10,000
Corrupted Essence Bait+18% Luck15,000
Elite Bait+30% Luck50,000
Ancestral Bait+50% Luck100,000

Ancestral Bait at +50% Luck for 100,000 Cash is more Luck than any rod in the game provides, and it is cheap by mid-game standards — buy it long before you can afford the rod tier it belongs to.

The in-game Index

The Index screen lists every fish per island and is the easiest way to see what you are missing on an island you are already standing on. Note that, per a guide published on August 30, 2026, completing Index entries currently grants no rewards — it is a checklist, not a collection mechanic. Treat it as a reference rather than a goal.

Fish the tables do not cover

Several fish are named only inside quest requirements rather than in the secret-fish list: Primordial Kunfish and Primordial Kunfish Overlord (Cryo Gravity Rod quest), Mutated Koi Whale, Warbringer Shark and Dreadscale Grouper (Soul Thorn Rod quest), Ascended Perch and Mountain Fish. Their spawn conditions are not published, so they are listed here as names only rather than guessed at.
