Fishing in Minecraft is a great way to quickly collect various items and experience orbs. You throw your line into any water source block and have a chance to catch items like fish, leather armor, enchantment books, and more.

What does the Curl enchantment do?

Bait is an enchantment that can only be applied to Fishing Rods in Minecraft. It decreases the time you have to wait before getting a bite while fishing. While a normal fishing rod can take up to 30 seconds for a single bite, a Lure III rod can pull in objects about every three to five seconds. While fishing wait times can be reduced by choosing spots that aren’t in direct sunlight or moonlight, enchanting your rod with bait is the most effective way to speed up the fishing process.

It’s important to note that Lure doesn’t affect the type of items you pull in. For that you need Luck of the Sea. Combine Lure III with Luck of the Sea III and Mending I and you have the best possible fishing rod that won’t break while fishing but also gets you rarer items faster.

How to get the Lure enchantment?

In order to get the Lure enchantment, you must either acquire it by fishing or buy it at an enchantment table for experience levels and Lapis Lazuli. Once you have the book, you can attach it to a fishing rod with an anvil and speed up the fishing process.
