Bucket and backpack
Your fish live in the bucket; bait and curios in the backpack. Both grow with your upgrades.
What goes where
- Bucket: every fish you catch.
- Backpack: bait and curios. Identical things stack: up to 50 per slot.
- Material bag: materials, taking up no space.
Open everything with I or 🪣.

When space runs short
- If the bucket is full, rare fish (and fish Grandpa Kutter wishes for) still fit into up to 3 extra slots. Everything else swims back into the water.
- If the backpack is full, curios still fit into up to 2 extra slots. Bait doesn’t.
- Releasing always works and gives you a little luck for a moment.
