==Fishing lures==
+
== Arguments ==
  +
(index)
As you can see from the chart, the fishing lures give a much larger boost to fishing skill than any other gear. They are also low cost and readily available. They are an extremely cost effective way of boosting your fishing skill when you need to.
 
   
  +
:; index - The index of the tradeskill from GetNumGuildTradeSkill().
==Fishing gloves==
 
The {{loot|enchant|Enchant Gloves - Fishing}} enchantment creates a permanent profession skill bonus on a glove apparel item, which is then worn to apply the fishing skill bonus. Casting the {{loot|enchant|Enchant Gloves - Fishing}} enchantment on a very low level [[soulbound|non-binding]] [[quality|white or gray quality]] [[cloth armor|cloth]] glove enables the glove to be worn by any character. This will also prevent anyone from accidentally [[disenchanting]] the glove. (The materials for the enchantment cannot ever be recovered in any case.)

skillID, isCollapsed, iconTexture, headerName, numOnline, numPlayers, playerName, class, online, zone, skill, classFileName, isMobile
Any player ''can'' win the [[Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza]] and claim the {{item|Arcanite Fishing Pole}} as a reward, which grants +40 fishing (pre [[Patch 3.1]] this was +35 fishing).
 
: You can win the contest with 1 skill, but you cannot equip the Arcanite Fishing Pole until you have 300 base fishing skill.
 
: A low level character fishing in Stranglethorn Vale's coastal waters will require assistance due to hostile mobs.
 
: The competition for the {{item|Arcanite Fishing Pole}} is intense, and there are only 52 contest winners a year per server.
 
: Note, too, that there are two very good prizes for winning the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza and you only get to choose one each time you win. There's not much point to winning more than twice per character, but the first time you win, you might want the {{item|Hook of the Master Angler|other prize}}.
 
   
  +
:;skillID : Number - The ID for the tradeskill
The other fishing items from [[Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza]] are not competitive prizes. They are awarded in exchange for turning in rare fish that can be caught during the full two hours of competition, even after a winner of the competition has been declared, and there is no limit to the number that can be awarded (but the drop rate is very low). You can turn these rare fish in to the exchange NPC, [[Fishbot 5000]], up to an hour after the competition ends (three hours after it started).

The '''[[Kalu'ak Fishing Derby]]''' is a fishing event—introduced in [[Patch 3.3]]—held every Saturday between 14:00 and 15:00 by the [[Kalu'ak]]. The objective is to be the first player to catch a [[Blacktip Shark]], with the winner allowed to choose between a {{item|icon=|Dread Pirate Ring}}, and {{item|icon=|Boots of the Bay}}.
 
   
==Fishing gear combinations==
 
The highest achievable skill is to 667 (450 skill, +100 lure, +40 pole, +5 line, +5 hat, +5 boots, +2 gloves enchant, +10 lager, +50 underbelly elixir).
 
<!-- No use showing all the different possible combinations of "max" gear for different limitations? They can do this themselves? -->
 
   
  +
==Details==
While 667 fishing is available, the most difficult [[Fishing skill requirements by zone|fishing zone]] currently only requires a fishing skill of 575 to avoid junk casts. This gives several different opportunities for players to get this maximum required amount:
 
  +
Used in GuildRoster_UpdateTradeSkills() in Blizzard_GuildRoster.lua as of 4.0.
*Someone who has much of the best gear, doesn't need to use any consumables:
 
**Skill (450), {{item|Arcanite Fishing Pole}} (+40+5 with {{item|High Test Eternium Fishing Line}}), {{item|Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat}} (+5+75 built-in lure). ''(This also has the advantage of only taking 2 bag slots)''
 
*Someone who doesn't have the luxury of the finer gear (but still has 450 skill) can still have no junk casts by simply using a +100 lure (available by several different means). This only requires +25 fishing.
 
**This can be done with any of 5 poles:
 
*** {{item|Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole}} -- available through a quest to anyone who gets a fishing skill of 225
 
*** {{item|Jeweled Fishing Pole}} and {{item|Bone Fishing Pole}} -- poles available through the daily fishing quests
 
*** {{item|Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole}} -- requires Exalted with the Kalu'ak
 
*** {{item|Arcanite Fishing Pole}} -- From the tournament
 
<!-- I guess we could mention lower pole options (like Seth's + 5 skill somewhere else), but really, the Nat's pole really makes those much harder to do in comparison? -->
 
*Getting down to only using +75 lures (which can substantially reduce costs) and still avoiding all junk casts requires +50 skill, which can be done with several different combinations:
 
**The tournament pole (+40), the lager (+10)
 
**The tournament pole (+40), and any two of (+5 each):
 
***Boots
 
***Hat
 
***Nice Line
 
***Cheap Line and gloves enchant
 
**A nicer Wrath pole (+30), the lager (+10), and any two of (+5 each):
 
***Boots
 
***Hat
 
***Nice Line
 
***Cheap Line and gloves enchant
 
**Nat's pole (+25), the nice line (or the cheap line and the gloves enchant) (+5), the lager (+10), Boots (+5) and a hat (+5).
 
**{{item|Underbelly Elixir}} (+50) and ''any'' pole.
