Lure

Increases rate of fish biting your hook

easy version

  • luck of sea: lowers chance of junk

  • lure: makes fish bite more often

On a fishing pole the lure enchantment book makes it easier to get fish.

On a fishing pole the luck of the sea enchantment book decreases the % of getting stupid junk like name tags and saddles.
