Trap Bobber

The Trap Bobber is a tackle that enhances your fishing experience in Stardew Valley. When equipped, it slows the progress bar of escaping fish by 33%, or 50% if you use two Trap Bobbers on an Advanced Iridium Rod. This significantly reduces the likelihood of fish escaping during the catch, making it easier to reel them in.
