Choosing the wrong net in Catch and Cook wastes Dabloons and slows your progression significantly. The right net means rarer fish, better meals, and more passive income, even while offline. Here’s every fishing net ranked from best to worst, based on their Luck, Yield, Speed, and Control stats.
In Catch and Cook, nets are rated across four core stats. Here’s what each means:
| Stat | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Luck | Increases chance of catching rarer fish |
| Yield | More fish per cast |
| Speed | How fast you cast and retrieve |
| Control | Precision in the fishing minigame |
Higher-tier nets require a higher player Rank to unlock and cost significantly more Dabloons — but the investment pays off in rare catches and better meal combinations.
These are the endgame nets every serious player should work toward.
noFilter Net — The current top-tier net in Catch and Cook. It delivers the highest combined stats across Luck, Yield, Speed, and Control, making it the go-to choice for farming Legendary and rare fish. Expensive and rank-locked, but worth every Dabloon.
Celestial Net — A close second. Exceptional Luck and Yield make it ideal for targeting rare fish during special weather events. If you can’t afford the noFilter yet, this is your best alternative.
Volcanic Net — Strong across the board with above-average Luck and solid Speed. Great for active players who fish frequently and want consistent rare pulls.
Magnetic Net — Costs 2,250,000 Dabloons. Stats: Luck 2★, Yield 2★, Speed 2.5★, Control 1★. The Magnetic Net is a huge jump from the Anchored Net and where the game really opens up. Its high Speed and balanced Luck make it the first net that seriously improves your Dabloon farming rate.
Anchored Net — Costs 1,000,000 Dabloons. Stats: Luck 1.5★, Yield 1★, Speed 0.5★, Control 3★. The Anchored Net sacrifices Speed for exceptional Control — useful for players who struggle with the fishing minigame. Not the fastest way to fish, but great for consistent, precise catches.
Chain Net — Costs 200,000 Dabloons. Stats: Luck 1.5★, Yield 1★, Speed 1★, Control 1.5★. A solid step up from Copper with improved Luck. The Chain Net is the first net that starts pulling higher-rarity fish with any regularity — a key mid-game upgrade.
Copper Net — Costs 25,000 Dabloons. Stats: Luck 1★, Yield 1★, Speed 1.5★, Control 1.5★. A slight upgrade over the starter net with better Speed and Control. Grab this early, but push past it quickly.
Bamboo Net — Costs 50 Dabloons. Stats: all at 1★ across the board. This is the net you start with. It works for the very early game, but upgrade it as soon as possible.
| Tier | Net | Price | Best Stat |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | noFilter Net | High Rank + Dabloons | All-around |
| S | Celestial Net | High Rank + Dabloons | Luck + Yield |
| A | Volcanic Net | High Rank + Dabloons | Luck + Speed |
| A | Magnetic Net | 2,250,000 Dabloons | Speed |
| B | Anchored Net | 1,000,000 Dabloons | Control |
| B | Chain Net | 200,000 Dabloons | Luck |
| C | Copper Net | 25,000 Dabloons | Speed |
| D | Bamboo Net | 50 Dabloons | Starter |
All fishing nets are purchased from Caspian Gill’s Gear Shop inside your base. Select “Show me your nets.” to open the net shop. Each higher-tier net requires a higher player Rank to unlock — so keep fishing, cooking meals, and placing them on pedestals to rank up faster.
Enchantments matter too. Once you have a net, visit Cyrus the enchantment vendor to apply buffs. Use codes like CHUBBYTHECALICO and JASPERTHERAGDOLL for free Enchant Spins to reroll your net’s enchant without grinding.
Pro tip: Always aim for the center of the highlighted zone during the fishing minigame. A perfect cast significantly boosts your chance of pulling rare fish, even on lower-tier nets.
The noFilter Net is the best net overall, offering top-tier stats across Luck, Yield, Speed, and Control. The Celestial Net is the best accessible alternative for players still building toward the noFilter.
You unlock higher-tier nets by increasing your player Rank. Rank up by placing cooked meals on pedestals to earn Dabloons, then reinvest in better gear and more pedestals to accelerate your progression.
Both matter, but your net tier sets the stat ceiling — enchants amplify those stats. Prioritize upgrading your net first, then invest Enchant Spins in boosting its stats via Cyrus’s enchantment shop.
Luck is the most important stat for catching rare fish and high-value meals. Yield helps you catch more per session. Prioritize Luck > Yield > Speed for max Dabloon earnings.
