Tips for Lure
- Enchantments that conflict cannot be on the same item. Check conflicts before you combine books.
- Combine two books of the same level on an anvil to raise the level by one, up to the maximum.
- Prior work penalty makes each extra anvil step cost more, so plan the order of combinations. See how to use an anvil.

Lure shortens the wait time before a fish bites. Combined with Luck of the Sea III and Unbreaking, it makes a fast, durable fishing rod.
