Fishing Tackle

Don't go looking for a way to craft it. The row for this item is almost empty: no recipe, no research cost, no durability, no recycling, no recipe that asks for it, and its in-game description just repeats its name. It looks like a piece of the fishing system that the game keeps on its item list rather than something you carry around.

If you came here because you want fish, the setup that works is a handmade fishing rod with worms or grubs as bait. To fish while you do something else, drop a survival fish trap on the shore and load it with bait.

And if one ever turns up in a crate or a vending machine, treat it as a curiosity. Nothing in its data says it improves your catch.
