Fishing Guide: All Catchable Pals and Odds
All 78 catchable fishing entries in Palworld — which Pals appear at wild fishing spots (with shadow size, level range and time of day), the exact catch odds inside a base Fishing Pond, and every bait tier. Boss-size catches are tougher, larger versions of the same Pal.
What You Need Before You Can Fish
Nothing here drops in the world — every rod, bait and pond is a Technology unlock, so your access to fishing is gated purely by the level you have reached. A rod alone will not cast; you need bait in your inventory too.
Both ponds are Production structures that need a Handiwork Pal assigned — build one and it fishes on its own while you are away, which is the only way to farm the odds in the table below without casting yourself. The Large Fishing Pond is the late unlock that opens the biggest shadows to you at home.
Wild Fishing Spots — Catchable Pals
Aggregated across every wild fishing spot: the shadow sizes each Pal appears as, its level range, and when it bites.

Simple BaitThe basic lure for drawing Pals in, and a prerequisite for fishing at all.
High Quality BaitPal-attracting bait refined beyond Simple Bait, so Pals take it more often.
Deluxe BaitBait that draws Pals in, refined so the bar in the fishing minigame runs a little wider.
Beginner BaitA step up from Simple Bait for drawing Pals in — the capture gauge in the fishing minigame empties more slowly with it on the line.
Sweet BaitA Simple Bait upgrade for drawing Pals in, reworked so they bite more often.
Lucky BaitA High Quality Bait upgrade for attracting Pals, tuned so each catch yields more items.
Quick BaitA High Quality Bait upgrade for attracting Pals, tuned so they bite more often.
Alluring BaitBait that draws Pals in. This refined version widens the bar in the fishing minigame and yields more items per catch.
Risky BaitPal-attracting bait, reworked from Deluxe Bait with experienced anglers in mind. The minigame bar shrinks, but a successful catch yields far more.
Pals That Change What You Reel In
7 Pals carry a partner skill that does nothing except at the water — keep the right one at your side and the same cast pays more, drains slower, or hooks a better-rolled Pal. Values run rank 1 to rank 5, so raise the skill to max before judging it.
