Fishing is one of the most enjoyable activities in Palworld 1.0, and even more once you get access to the harder locations for fishing. Yet, catching some rare Pals and collecting some great loot will take effort if you lack proper preparation. Luckily, there are some things you can do which will improve your experience in this minigame. In this guide, we’ll show you the best fishing Pals, the gear you should use, and some tips to help you catch more Pals and earn better rewards.
Best Fishing Pals For Fishing In Palworld 1.0
Gloopie is the most important fishing Pal. Its Partner Skill slows down how quickly the fishing gauge drops whenever you lose alignment with the fish. At higher Partner Skill levels, this effect becomes even stronger, making difficult fishing spots much easier to complete. If you’re only going to level up one fishing Pal, Gloopie should be your first choice.
Jelliette increases the quantity of fishing loot. At the maximum Partner Skill level, it may increase the number of items received almost twice.
Whalaska Ignis is also a good choice. It gives you a large boost to both the starting capture progress and the capture progress gained during the fishing minigame.
If you want to find skilled Pals, then bring Solmora Lux with your party since its Partner Skill makes the chances of finding a skilful Pal better than usual.
For ocean salvage spots marked with a magnet icon, Jellroy is the best companion. It increases the amount of Silver Gel you receive while salvaging, although this bonus only works for salvage spots and not for regular Pal fishing. Keep in mind that bringing multiple copies of the same Pal doesn’t stack their Partner Skills.
Use Better Fishing Gear
Your fishing gear will be another important factor influencing the difficulty of the minigame. With each new level of fishing rods that you get, the size of the capture bar increases and thus it gets easier to follow it. You can also find stronger fishing rod schematics by fishing in Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Grandmaster fishing spots. Bait works the same way. Higher-quality bait not only makes the capture bar larger but also improves your rewards.
- Simple Bait is the basic option.
- Deluxe Bait increases the size of the capture bar.
- Alluring Bait makes the bar even larger while also increasing the number of items you receive after a successful catch.
If you have Alluring Bait available, it’s usually the best choice because it makes fishing easier and gives you more loot at the same time.

Tips For The Fishing Minigame
When the fishing gauge appears, try to position the marker toward the side that has more open space. This gives you more room to react if the fish suddenly moves in that direction. Rather than pressing the button continuously, try pressing short taps. It will help you keep track of the movements and be able to make adjustments accordingly.
Also, remember that the fish stops from time to time. This will be your chance to align yourself well until it begins moving once again. Use the highest quality bait possible. The higher the quality of your bait, the better the capture bar becomes; not only that, but you will get more loot when you win.
Upgrade Your Fishing Pals
Partner Skills become increasingly powerful depending on their level. You have to get multiple copies of the same Pal for the improvement of such skills. It is possible to use the Pal Essence Condenser for merging identical copies of Pals. The Partner Skill will be significantly increased after raising the star level of Pals.
Breeding is the fastest way to collect the duplicates you need. After upgrading your fishing team, Grandmaster Fishing Spots become much easier, and you’ll earn far more rewards, including valuable materials, schematics, and talented Pals. With the right Pals, good bait, and a fully upgraded Partner Skill, even the hardest fishing challenges become much more manageable.
Best Fishing Spots
If you’re interested in Legendary Pals as well as rare crafting materials, Feybreak Island (-1288,-1671) is one of the best locations to head to. Keep in mind that it’s a difficult area, and make sure that you have everything that you need before going there. This location is home to gigantic Shadow Pals, such as Whalaska. If you’re searching for ways to collect end-game Pals, it’s an excellent choice.
Waterfall Pond is one of the best Master-tier fishing locations because it has Shadow Pals spawning with a glow effect. You should definitely check it out if you’re planning to catch some rare aquatic Pals.
Fisherman’s Point is a perfect location to fish. With several fishing spots of various tiers being located nearby, it’s a convenient place to collect various fish and other materials.
