Fish tackle

[darcek]

I’m currently playing One week later in Muldraugh.
I haven’t been able to find any fishing rods or tackle thou I did manage to craft one.
I went north to WestPoint in search of rods and tackles...
Still couldn’t find a single one anywhere...
Is this bad luck or just since I started in the Muldraugh map, they are not part of the loot table?

You could try and find a trowel and just dig farming plots to find worms. You can dig in the same spot over and over and it will give you worms, which you can use as bait (its actually a better bait than tackle)

Thanks for those suggestions, however I know all of them already.
The reason I want the tackle is: it lets you level up fishing faster without the hassle of changing baits all the time and worms run out fast, tackles last longer hence lets you level faster with less breaks.
I usually take my time with character creation, project zomboid is the exception, as you die all the time,and lose all your skills you’ve learned.
So power leveling your 100 plus character you’ve created is a godsend...

Now that we have that out of the way, I would love to find lots of tackles somewhere, so I can power level my future alts...
So question remains: are there tackles in the Muldraugh map (and or other maps I can travel to) and if so , where is the best place to get some?
The wiki suggested storehouses and shacks.. I only found a bit of fishing lines and 2 fishing rods so far in one shack,storehouses been to a few none had tackles in them...

Seems like every life there is something that is really rare. Looks like yours is fishing gear. in riverside next to the river west edge is a shack/building that is for fishing. Some hardware stores carry all that stuff also, but if its your luck to not find any... ! time i was 3 weeks in and finally found a screwdriver. A game back it was shovels and the first 1 i found was almost broken.

Seem so..
Started a new charcter same area,and actually in muldraught I found a tackle

[darcek]

Finally found what I was looking for...
To the west of Muldraught lies a small settlement called Dixi.
I found in there a store called: E.P. Tools.
Not only it had lots of fishing tackles but also rare items like Axes, Hunting knifes and screwdrivers...
And all the repair ingredient’s you need (Adhesive tape, duct tape, glue and wood glue)

Can go back now to my base with ample supplies
