Best treasure hunting fishing method?

[Gudra]

Hi, I'm interested in doing some treasure hunting by fishing. I already have the Pirate job in Level 10 fishing, and I was wondering about the place, the bait and the tackle.

1. About the place. I've though of the Sewers, as there are only Carps that are pretty easy to catch. But I actually don't know if the HIT rate would be as high as I would need for treasure farming (maybe too many algaes? I don't know).
   
2. About bait, I'll probably use the default one, just because it's cheap and that's productive. Magnet came to my mind but I don't see it very useful...
   
3. And about tackle, I'm in two minds right now. In one hand, the most obvious one is the Treasure Hunter, but... maybe the Dressed Spinner would be better in long-terms? If it boost the speed to get catchs, it maybe eventually be more useful to get lots of treasure chests... I really don't know which one to choose.

And well, this is all for now. What do you think that would be the best combination?

Wait are you fishing for the treasure chest if you are good luck

I had good luck, thanks! A pretty effective method, if you ask for my honest opinion. Better than searching artifact spots. Used magnet bait and treasure hunter tackle, if you want to try it.

I get a lot of treasure chest chances in the ocean.

Bait, yeah, the default is the cheapest and easiest. I use the deluxe bait only for my crab pots.

Magnet increases the hit rate, yeah, but it's no help with treasure hunting.

Trapped bobber slows up the loss of progress, it's better for hard fish I think.

I can't quite see the up-side for the dressed spinner though. It doesn't slow the loss of progress, and is good for... well, carp mostly.

The treasure hunter bobber stops the loss of progress when you go after the treasure.

I would say go with the default bait, and the treasure hunter. Look for the bubbles in the water, hit rate speeds up a lot. Also if you choose the ocean, fish around the rock. You seem to get good hit rates, good quality fish, and it's rare to encounter the ocean's legendary on that side.
