Terrarian
Both myself and a friend of mine like fishing in Terraria because it's pretty relaxing and pretty useful through early hardmode. I've always thought about "what if there was this fish" or "why isn't there a tundra biome crate?" though and I'm guessing everyone else has as well. Tacklebox aims to fill in those gaps left throughout the vanilla fishing experience and flesh out fishing a little more throughout the game.
I tried my best to make it everything neat, balanced, and pretty, but it's not easy to do alone. If anyone wants to help me fix or add stuff, check out the Known Issues and Wishlist sections and let me know if you'd like to help me out, I'd really appreciate it!
This mod is NOT fully tested/some things are not fully implemented yet! It won't, like, explode your game, but some of the content might be buggy...
Content (1.2.0)
These fish mostly fill out the areas currently kinda neglected; like Honey, Lava (which was a huge disappointment to me once I finally got my Hotline), Mushroom (none?!), Desert, and Dungeon fish. Additionally, I tried to add a good variety in the uses of each fish, barring a few penny-fetchers.
A few catches can also be cooked into some delicious new food items, some of which grant new buffs (see Potions)
These should fill the gaps between rods throughout the game if you're one of those Terrarians who fishes his or her way through thick and thin. Additionally, there are some rather exotic ones...
Fishing doesn't have to be a competition, you and the fish can both win with these scrumptious sea-snacks! Each new bait adds a unique dynamic to fishing in its own way; except the Gold Jelly, that's just keeping with tradition.
Naturally, if there's new fish there's new potions. I've also added a few combination potions; they serve primarily to synchronize the durations of their constituent potions using their mean time, but the Alchemy Table effect still applies if you catch my drift...
A few new fish-, fishing-, and liquid-related buffs. Need to keep the mod thematic!
You can put these on your body and thus become better at fishing, because that's how Terraria works! Please note: None of the following unique effects are stackable; for example, Gold Hook, Platinum Hook, and Fishing Rod Kit will all only increase fishing power by 5.
You've no doubt wondered at some point (possibly every day) why there's no Frozen Crate if there's a Frozen Chest, or why the Ocean, home of seaworthy toddlers, doesn't have its own crate. Well, now they're here!
Miscellaneous stuff, including junk (of course), crafting materials, and special items!
Wishlist
These would be crafted from various fish caught before (Scaly) and after (Ichthyoid) hardmode with pretty early normal/hardmode stats and fish-related bonuses. I think it'd be super cool!

- Shadow Lockbox - Underworld chest loot table, requires Shadow Key to open
- Biome Keys - Jungle, Corruption, Crimson, Hallowed, and Frozen keys have a (very) low chance to be caught while fishing in their respective biomes, roughly about as common as if you were killing enemies accounting for the rate of fish caught to enemies killed and increased with fishing level
Miscellaneous stuff, including junk (of course), crafting materials, and special items!
- Junk - Cassette, Broken PDA, and Driftwood; they have a chance to replace the regular junk you might've caught
- Cattail - Crafting material, 8% chance from Jungle Crates

- Vanilla Fish - Cooked Shrimp and Sashimi now grant Seafood buff for 2 minutes

Wishlist

- Island House - Another worldgen addition, a nice little island out on the ocean with a house and some chests containing fishing loot which would just be fabulous
These would be crafted from various fish caught before (Scaly) and after (Ichthyoid) hardmode with pretty early normal/hardmode stats and fish-related bonuses. I think it'd be super cool!
- Scaly Head - 3 defense, 5% increased fishing power
- Scaly Body - 6 defense
- Scaly Legs - 3 defense, increased jump speed/height
- Scaly Set Bonus - fish weapons deal 10% increased damage, permanently Wet

Known Issues
- Fishing lines cast from your body instead of the fishing pole when using the new poles. I don't know why! If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know! I didn't change anything related to the projectiles, they should all inherit vanilla pole and projectile data by default.
- Some items aren't fully implemented; notably the Alien Plankton and usable fish (e.g. Sporetooth Mushark).
