Pike: location, bait and collection notes

Pike has two recorded Forest setups: the default fish pool and Beginner Lure. Its 12-coin base and ordinary entry are separate from The Old Pike boss.

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.

Choose between two recorded setups

Pike is listed both in the Fishing Rod’s default Forest pool and in the Beginner Lure pool. If Pike alone is missing, the table does not require you to buy a lure just to target its eligible pool.

If you also need several Beginner-only entries, changing to that lure can serve the wider checklist. The available facts do not establish which of the two setups has better Pike odds.

Do not merge the two Pike entries

Ordinary Pike has a recorded base of 12 coins. The Old Pike is a separate optional boss with a Beginner Boss Lure setup and its own entry.

When checking a missing name, read the full label. Repeating ordinary Pike catches is not a substitute for finding The Old Pike.
