Entity facts retain the guide’s Patch 1.0.10 snapshot (2026-08-28); the newly written notes are not a current-build playtest. Fixed values are raw bases, not guaranteed sale offers. Patch 1.1.3 adds bait display after a first kill in Fishipedia; use your current game to check a returning catch.

Move beyond the default pool

The recorded Cod setup is a Fishing Rod with Beginner Lure on Forest Island. Unlike Mackerel, Cod is not listed as a default-pool catch in this snapshot.

That distinction matters when the encyclopedia still has a Cod-shaped gap: repeating the bait-free setup is not the recorded route to this entry.

Compare the raw return

Cod’s recorded base is 10 coins. Mackerel is 6 and Salmon is 14, placing Cod between those two references before any bonuses.

A larger base than a default-pool fish is not automatically more profit, because the setup and fighting can cost money. Use the sale-value tool with your actual multiplier when budgeting a purchase.
