How to play
A little knowledge, a steady hand, and whatever is hiding beneath the surface.
- 01
One water. Ten casts.
Daily Baits is a daily fishing game where everyone fishes the same seeded water each day. The daily game is free to play. Your daily round has 10 casts: make each one count.
- 02
Read the water
Check depth and cover before choosing your target. Shallow edges, weeds, rocks and logs suit different fish. Shadows only hint at the species: they are clues, not an identification.
- 03
Choose your lure
Popper fishes shallow water, Spinner fishes mid-depth water, and Jig reaches deep water. Learn which lure each species favours.
- 04
Cast accurately
Aim for your chosen spot and time your cast carefully. Accuracy matters, and wind and current can move your lure.
- 05
Time the strike
Watch the bobber and strike when a fish bites. Rare fish give you less time to react.
- 06
Manage tension
Hold to reel and release to give line. Keep tension in the safe zone: too much snaps the line, too little lets the fish escape.
- 07
Size × rarity
Bigger, rarer catches earn more points. Rarity multipliers run from Common ×1 to Legendary ×9; trophy fish receive an extra bonus.
- 08
Explore and the handbook
Explore is unranked practice: free players get 15 casts a day, while Pro members get unlimited Explore. Discover species and fill your handbook to learn their habitats and favourite lures.
