DREDGE: Secret Fishing Equipment

There are four pieces of fleshy fishing equipment that aren’t found through quests, so I thought I’d make a little guide for anyone who was interested. You need to place certain fish into their shrines to get them. I’ll spoiler the text in case you’d rather try and figure out what you need by yourself, but you can find where the shrines are located from the pictures.

This one’s a straight upgrade over both the starter pole and the flexible fishing pole you get in research. It’s also very easy to get. Just need five cod.

This is a very big and very durable crab pot you can get in exchange for one decorator crab and two rock crabs. You can catch both of them in the Gale Cliffs with the basic crab pot but the decorator crab only appears in depths of 5 meters or less.

This crane cran snag both abyssal and hadal fish. It can be found near Stellar Basin in exchange for one of each of the four types of sharks: hammerhead, blacktip reef, bronze whaler, and ghost. The first and fourth can be found in the Stellar Basin, second and third in the Marrows (blacktip only comes out at night). They should all be able to be caught with basic ocean fishing equipment except for the ghost shark. You’ll need to help the researcher in Stellar Basin to get equipment that can fish in abyssal waters first.

This rod works in shallow, oceanic, and mangrove waters. You can trade in any aberration at the shrine to get it.
