Genshin Impact 2.1 fishing gameplay features five separate fish species and four different baits to get. As each family only responds to a certain kind of bait, you must have all recipes for them.
The fishing system in Genshin Impact is a permanent feature and the devs can bring fish-themed weapons to the game thanks to this. That is why the currently available weapon for exchange is highly sought-after. The weapon, which is called “The Catch”, acquires Kois and Raimei Angelfish. It is likely that more weapons will be released so you can exchange for diverse fish.
