The Barbed Hook is a tackle that helps fishing by keeping the fishing bar attached to the catch. It can be crafted or purchased from Willy's Fish Shop for 1,000g after reaching Fishing level 8. It may also randomly appear at the Traveling Cart for 1,500–2,500g.
A Barbed Hook is one of the rewards the player gets the first time they win the fishing competition at the Festival of Ice.
Only the Iridium Rod or the Advanced Iridium Rod can equip tackle. The Iridium Rod can only attach one tackle at a time, while the Advanced Iridium Rod can attach two. To attach tackle, left-click on the tackle, then right-click on the rod. To remove tackle, first right-click to remove any bait, then right-click to remove the tackle. For an Advanced Iridium Rod, the left tackle will be the first one removed.
Tackle does not stack in inventory or chests; each tackle takes up one inventory slot.
Note: this recipe is profitable when the player doesn't have the Blacksmith profession. It will result in a profit of 70g, while with the Blacksmith profession it results in a loss of -145g.

Notes
- The fishing bar can be moved manually while a Barbed Hook is in use, although it is more difficult, especially with slower fish. The more the fish darts up and down, the easier it is to move the fishing bar manually, and the less effective the Barbed Hook is.
