The fishing gameplay inGenshin Impact2.1 doesn’t only feature five different fish families, but there are also four different baits to obtain.Every species only responds to one type of bait, so it’s important to have recipes for all of them.

This new permanent feature has the potential to bring newfish-themed weaponstoGenshin Impact. Currently, the one weapon available for exchange is in high demand. This weapon,“The Catch,” requires Raimei Angelfish and Kois. There’s a very high possibility that more weapons will be available in exchange for different fish.

Updated Jun 03, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: With theGenshin Impact 3.0 update, a new region, Sumeru, is now available. Apart from the lush jungle and barren desert that players will experience, the new area also comes with a new set of fish to catch. Of course, with new species, different types of bait are required to lure them to the Traveler’s fishing pole. Eventually, catching these fishes will allow people to get a new bow calledEnd of the Line. Furthermore, a new type of fish, the Rays were also added back inGenshin Impact2.4. However, this species doesn’t require a new bait, rather they settle for the existing Fake Fly Bait.
