Changed:

Fishing rod replaced with a craftable version - All fishing rods have been pulled from SUMMER, only 1 spawn for the crafted one is in for now.

LURES will be coming back (Mariner Update) - For now, please use CRAFTED BONE HOOKS!

Bait can be found by picking up rocks or mining rocks.

Known problems:

Previous lure & bone hooks look like "cameras" with a line in them, keep the lures, they will be available when Mariner is out, we're just doing some back end updates related to fishing. As for the bone hook, look above, we just fixed the crafting for it.

We apologize for overlooking this crucial information and we understand it led to some warranted confusion. Let us know if anything else is unclear please!
