The Trap Bobber is a tackle that helps fishing by causing the progress bar to decrease 33% slower when the fish isn't within the fishing bar, reducing a fish's ability to escape. It can be crafted or purchased from Willy's Fish Shop for 500g after reaching Fishing level 6. It may also randomly appear at the Traveling Cart for 600–1,000g. One Trap Bobber is the copper tier reward on the 13th of Winter for the SquidFest festival. The Trap Bobber is a tackle that helps fishing by causing the progress bar to decrease 33% slower (50% if the player is using an Advanced Iridium Rod with 2 Trap Bobbers) when the fish isn't within the fishing bar, reducing a fish's ability to escape.

Only the Iridium Rod can equip tackle. To attach tackle to an Iridium Rod, left-click on the tackle, then right-click on the Iridium Rod. To remove tackle, first right-click to remove any bait, then right-click to remove the tackle.

Tackle does not stack in inventory or chests; each tackle takes up one inventory slot.

Trap Bobber Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [694]. You will then receive the Trap Bobber item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [694] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Trap Bobber item.
