Steel lure

 is a piece of equipment, one of two available lures, the other being the lure with a gem, that functions as a potential bait while fishing. They will degrade by 10% with each use, even during a failed attempt, making success particularly important given their expense. The lures, along with all three fishing rods, are available exclusively from the Lighthouse Keeper, this one being sold at Tier II for. It cannot be acquired through any other means, such as crafting, nor can it be studied or sold.

Bait
is one of eight(8) available baits to choose from when fishing.
 * There are eight(8/16) susceptible fish; the Bream, Tuna, Sardine, Pike, Silver crucian, Carp, Sturgeon, and Salmon.
 * The steel lure and lure with a gem are often - but not always - identical in this regard.
 * Both lures are unique, in that no low-tier fish are susceptible.
 * Either lure is required in order to catch the Silver Crucian.
 * The Pike and Salmon prefer the gem lure, over steel.
 * The Bream tolerates the steel lure well enough, yet ignores the gem lure.


 * The Silver Crucian and Salmon are generally considered the best commodity, given a steel lure.
 * Guarantees Salmon @ Waterfall, easily recovering the cost of the lure.
 * Silver Crucian, while otherwise only requiring nighttime, will provide silver nuggets.
