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!

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)

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.

Comment by Thottbot

does this have a limited ammount of uses? or cooldown?

Comment by Thottbot

Does anyone know if a higher skill in low areas affects the rate of which the fish actually 'bobs' ?

Comment by Thottbot

This is the best thing a fisher could have... am i right? i am an engineer and am wondering a good price to put these on on AH... could someone tell me what a good price would be?

Comment by Thottbot

Shankys <Fishing Supplies> -Orgrimmar - Limited Supply (20)

There is an extra zero here, this supplier only has 2 on limited supply, not 20.

Comment by Thottbot

This is almost a required item for fishing there. 425 fishing skill using it and my pole and I STILL lose fish, just not many.

Comment by Thottbot

Non-engineers can use the item too, right?

Comment by Thottbot

As of release 2.1.2, this "enchant" now lasts ten minutes, even though the tooltip says five. A pleasant surprise last night.

Comment by Thottbot

Great way to make money. sells for 5g in stacks of 20 on my server. :p

Comment by Thottbot

with tbc all vendors are out of this.
before i could always buy 2 while in some main town.
And now u must have these.. damn just gona lvl up som small gnome to make em.

Comment by Thottbot

Many of these places do not have 2 LSupply anymore. The majors places will, but also people buy these more often.

Comment by Thottbot

Will this Aquadynamic Fish Attractor benefit for winning the Lucky Fishing Hat " lvl 19 Twink item", im not exactually sure on how to win it, but on reading other posts i heard u have to be chanted up with +fishing skill,

Comment by Thottbot

Comment by Allakhazam

the best bonus for fishing, yes

Comment by Allakhazam

When did this change to a 10 minute buff? I went fishing today and saw that it was now a 10 minute buff instead of 5. About time, but messed up the timing I had for the one mob that spawns on the island in Skettis---it spawns every 5 minutes--kill it--reapply fish attractor and when it's gone--time to kill that guy again.

Comment by Allakhazam

Why do vendors sell this and sometimes not?

Comment by Allakhazam

Is this the best lure bonus for fishing?

Comment by Allakhazam

I wonder why blizz made this for only 5min buff instead of 10 like the other lures.

Comment by Allakhazam

They sell for a decent price, too. A few people will buy them at the AH, but you can usualy go to a fishing location, then hawk them there. Depends where you go, sometimes you only get 5s, but in some places, I've reached upwards of 25s.

Comment by Allakhazam

This is interesting... maybe I should start fishing seeing as I can make these soon...

Comment by Allakhazam

Why does it look like a lollipop? O_o

Comment by altronrain

Could someone tell me, is it a blizz bug or why it is stated that duration is 5 min?
