Appears to be a periodic spawn, at least on Catherine Leland in Stormwind. Haven't confirmed same on any other vendors yet.

Comment by Zhanghia

Anyone know if these can be held in engineering bags? My gut tells me no but.. maybe?

Since this is one of the few items in game that is available from vendors in a limited quantity (and at a great price I might add), it is worth knowing that you can SOMETIMES buy more than the vendor shows in stock by clicking to purchase the items as quickly and furiuosly as possible. With the usual limit of 2 attractors per vendor, you can usually get between 2 and 5 attractors. You still end up paying for each attractor that you buy, but you just are able to somewhat bypass the limitation of avaiable items. (Note: this obviously doesn't work if there are no items available; and works even better with other items that have a higher available number from the vendor, like Coarse Blasting Powder)

This may not be readily apparent, but this is the best lure available in the game.

Comment by dusk

Instead of camping vendors, you can get a lowlevel+ engineering friend to make these for you. Bronze and coarse stone aren't that expensive and the Nightcrawlers are unlimited from vendors.

New icon in 2.3!

Comment by 17624

For something so essential to high level fishing, these are laughably easy to get made in meaningful quantities by any low level engineer. I used my mining skill to farm up loads of the mats and had a gnomish engineering friend of mine make me a huge batch.

I find I can make a small, steady profit each day by buying 40 bronze bars and 20 coarse stone off the AH, then a stack of nightcrawlers from any of the myriad vendors. 1g to make 3 attractors, resold for 60s each?

Nothing huge but it adds up over time, especially as part of a regular crafting rotation.

Why would i need gunpowder to make a bait? :P

Comment by Slavac

For Horde, the only 3 places to buy these in Outlands are:
Juno Dufrain in Cenarion Refuge (facing the west lake)
Zurjaya in Zebra'jin (at the bonfire facing North)
Threlc in Thunderlord Stronghold (a bit north from the bonfire)

Comment by 141411

these are good for selling at the AH actually they are cheap to make and occasionally a stack goes for 3g on my server and usually is bought out rather quickly,i suppose higher lvls just get bored of traveling to get them..

This is the best lure when you're trying tp win in the fishing competition in STV. Evenn when you're lvl 19 and trying to get \124h\124r");]

Sorry, i mean Luchy fishing hat

Comment by Killfido

Do not be fooled by the icon. This item is not meant to be licked.

The lures seem to respawn on the vendors every ~30 minutes. Sometimes they do, other times they don't. If I use 3 lures and check the vendor, there always seem to be fresh stock in. Other's mileage may vary.

Comment by tarkin12

Nothing speeds up or slows down leveling fishing (assuming no getaways). There is a set number of fish per skill point, regardless of where you do this. The lures are nice if you wish to get higher level fish (usually more profitable ones), but this in now way would slow you.

Comment by cndd1

I think it was the last patch, but you will no longer get that annoying "your fish got away" message.. you now "catch" grey junk if your skill level is low, so each cast counts toward your skillups... YAY!

One of my four sources of income (I have no level 60+)
1: Farm linen and wool on a DK in VC (easily as a level 58 full blood, good luck without it.)
2: Sell silver (ore, sells for about three times as much) that I happen to find.
3: I'm a Gninja, (an In-Character mercenary on an RP server) people hire me all the time.
4: I go to BB every Sunday and sell these for about 1 gold each, they cost me about two silver each to make.

Does faction rep have anything to do with the supply of this? I haven't been able to really determine this as of yet. I've visited all the Alliance freindlies so far, and most had supplies for me, even though my rep ranges from neutral to exaulted. While some had none, most have had the allotted supply of either two or one. While visiting Kalimdor suppliers, both Rachet vendors had some, but Darnassus and Tedrassil had none, nor did Diktynna at Azuremyst. Going to finish the entire world and see who has what. I'll edit or repost later after visiting Outland and Northrend.

Comment by FuryWar

Odd that Engineers use Coarse blasting powder to create these... <The Gnome tinkers away in his workshop> "Of course! I'll used blasting powder to attracf the fish to my Attractors!"

Comment by Alwaysmiles

Assuming the worst, this lure provides 28-29 full fishing casts.

22 second cast and ends at about 1-2 seconds. Fishing
20 seconds per skill
1 second interval because of human error, we aren't all bots that can click it just as it ends.
600 seconds = 10 minutes
600-30 seconds = Seconds spent fishing
30 Seconds because of the 1 second interval
570 seconds spent fishing, which means 28.5 fish/skill points, rounded up or down = 28-29 full fishing casts.

Also, if you wish to level cooking or make some gold from this ridiculous grind I suggest going to the Forgotten Pools in the Northern Barrens. This gives you Deviate Fish which can be cooked and made into Savory Deviate Delight or made into the Elixir of Giant Growth though both of these require a recipe. The savory deviate delight recipe prices vary and the Elixir of Giant Growth has always been expensive for me. Later on, at the skill range of about 375-425 you can fish in River's Heart in Sholazar Basin, where there are pools of Nettlefish which are good for making Poached Nettlefish as well as Pygmy Suckerfish used for making Pygmy Oil.

Worm supreme is infinitely better, and it attracts girls too.

All lures sold by Marci Chase have the same chance to provide you with a time sink for your real world gold, Poseidon is dead, he is buried next to Neptune and your subscription is now due, so stop loitering in Dalaran stealing pennies from the fountain, you scrub. RNGesus is your only God now. Still, I would always recommend the use of Nat's Drinking Hat, Boots of the Bay, Rooks Fishing Line, a tipple of Captain Rumsey's Lager to warm the wee cockles of yer heart and of course, a Worn Supreme, the most supreme bait available in any virtual world. Always cast from the safety of a raft, never wear a life jacket, if you have a shell put it on your head and if you see that idiot Nat Pagel tell him I want my money back, and my boat, W£$%+R! If you catch a turtle, throw it back before it bites your nuts. Fishing, yeah...
