How To Get the Sonar Bobber in Stardew Valley

The newest update for Stardew Valley has added quality-of-life items that improve daily tasks. One of these items is the Sonar Bobber, a piece of fishing tackle that is a game-changer for finishing the Community Center.

Fishing is a way to earn quick money, as well as keep energy up in Stardew Valley. However, the many different species of fish don’t make it easy to focus on landing the right one when trying to wrap a Fishing bundle or finish a quest. Thankfully, that is all going to change with the Sonar Bobber, which gives players a peek at what is on their hook.

What Does The Sonar Bobber Do in Stardew Valley?

The Sonar Bobber tells the player what fish is on their line, allowing them to ditch the catch or focus on the mini-game depending on what they have hooked. Before the release of this bobber, players had to guess what they were reeling in by how difficult the minigame became. Rare fish tend to be much harder to catch. Now, players can attach this bobber in search of a specific species of fish.
