DAWN IS BREAKING ON A NEW WAY TO FISH! 

If you thought yesterday’s announcement was exciting… hold onto your fishing rods, because the next stage of Hooked’s crafting revolution has arrived!

The response to the new Crafting System has been incredible, and today we’re taking things one giant step further by completely changing the way bait works in Hooked.

This isn’t just an update…

It’s a whole new way to play.

🪱 The Bait Revolution Begins

Starting today, only three baits will remain permanently available for purchase through your HUD:

• Worms
• Corn
• Tournament Bait

These three staples will always be available whenever you need them.

But what about everything else?

That’s where you come in.

🔨 Craft It. Use It. Trade It.

Every other bait in Hooked can now be crafted by players.

Whether you want to keep your supplies stocked, become the go-to bait maker for your friends, or build a thriving business selling bait to other anglers, the choice is yours.

For the first time, crafting becomes more than simply making items…

It becomes an entirely new profession.

The possibilities are almost endless and are limited only by your imagination—and, of course, your fishing skills!

📜 Collect Your Recipes

Ready to become a master bait crafter?

Simply visit the Hooked Mainstore, where you’ll find recipes for every craftable bait.

Once you’ve purchased a recipe, it’s yours forever, allowing you to craft as much—or as little—as you like.

Best of all…

These recipes aren’t going anywhere.

There are no limited-time releases or disappearing vendors. Today’s anglers and tomorrow’s newcomers will always be able to begin their crafting adventure whenever they’re ready.

💎 Pearls Are More Valuable Than Ever

Every bait recipe now requires Pearls to start crafting process. All Bait Recipes need Pearls to purchase them.

If you’ve been keeping up with your Daily Challenges, you’re already building a valuable crafting resource.

If not…

Now’s the perfect time to start!

🌊 A New Chapter Begins

This update marks one of the biggest changes Hooked has ever seen.

Crafting, trading, selling, collecting and fishing are now more connected than ever before, giving every player new ways to enjoy the game and build their own path to success.

Whether your goal is to become the greatest angler, the richest bait merchant, or simply the friend who always has the perfect bait ready…

Your adventure starts today.

Happy Fishing, Happy Crafting, and as always…

We’ll see you on the water! 🎣

Until next time…

Whether you’re crafting your next masterpiece, chasing that trophy catch, or building your own fishing empire, we can’t wait to see what you create.

Happy Fishing! 🎣

— The Hooked Team

The wait is finally over! Crafting has officially arrived in Hooked, opening up a whole new way to play, create and trade.

Whether you’ve always wanted to craft your own bait, create your very own fishing locations, or even become a supplier of crafting materials, everything you need to get started is now available at the Hooked Mainstore.

🛠️ Start Your Crafting Adventure

The first stop is the Hooked Crafting System, which contains everything you’ll need to begin your crafting journey. Designed to be simple to use while offering plenty of opportunities to grow your skills, it’s the perfect addition for anglers looking to take their Hooked experience to the next level.

 Hey Hookers!

Big week for the Leagues! We’ve got a first taste of crafting, a little extra time on the clock, and a shiny new home for our Diamond champions. Let’s get into it.

🪱 NEW: ReefPaste Preview Vendors! Top 3 Only!

Crafting hasn’t launched yet… but if you’re grinding your way into the Top 3 of your league, you’re about to get a taste of what’s coming.

Introducing the League Top 3 ReefPaste Vendors, available now at each league’s vendor area. ReefPaste is the first crafted item you’ll ever be able to get your hands on in Hooked. Consider this your sneak preview of the crafting system before it goes live.

So what does ReefPaste actually do? ReefPaste is hand-crafted bait with a faster bite time than any standard bait in the game. Less waiting, more reeling! Cast for cast, nothing in your tacklebox today will get fish on your line quicker. When crafting launches, you’ll be making this yourself from gathered materials and recipes. For now, only Top 3 league anglers get to fish with it.

Here’s the deal:

• You must currently be ranked Top 3 in your league to purchase
• Purchases go straight to your Tacklebox. Just open your HUD and equip
• Buy as many times as you like, as long as you’re holding a Top 3 spot!

⏰ This is a limited preview! The ReefPaste vendors are only available through July 19th! Once the preview ends, ReefPaste goes back in the vault until crafting officially launches. If you want to fish with it early, now’s the time to climb.

⏳ Extended League Deadlines This Week

Because we’re getting a late start this week, we’re shifting the league end dates — so everyone gets a bit longer to make their push for the top this round. More time on the clock means more time to climb, so don’t count yourself out yet!

🏝️ Top #1 Vendors Are In!

The League Top Spot (#1) Vendors are available with exclusive rewards for the anglers who finish at the very top of their league.

Diamond League, your Top Spot vendor has a brand new location…LE Kokomo! Come check out the new spot, soak in the views, and claim what you’ve earned.

 Heads up, Hookers!

A BIG change is coming to Hooked….

CRAFTING!

We are in the final stages of testing out newest rollout, and it’s going to turn your fishing experience into a whole new world!

Crafting System Sneak Peek!

• Turn your Fish Points, Junk Points and Scrap Points into Crafting Materials!
• Recipes will be available to collect – either by purchasing them with your points, or winning Limited Edition Edition Recipes in Leagues, Tournaments, Community Vendors and Games!
