Maximum level	III
Primary items
Secondary items	None
Enchantment weight	2
Overleveling behavior	Fish cannot be caught above level V

Lure is an enchantment applied to fishing rods that decreases the wait time for bites when fishing.

Obtaining

Lure can be obtained from enchanting tables, drops from mobs that have spawned in a raid,‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]} books obtained by fishing, monster room chests, librarian villagers, and non-village structure loot.

Usage

Lure increases the rate of something biting the player's hook while fishing. Specifically, it decreases the wait time for something to appear by 5 seconds per level. See Fishing for more information.

If commands are used to increase the enchantment level beyond 5, the wait timer does not start and fish do not bite.
