Getting Started With The Hooked Inc Basics

Before we dive into the cheats, tips & strategy guide part, let’s learn the basics first. In Hooked Inc, your main objective is completing the collection of fish; common, rare, and epic. Epic fish appears from time to time in the ocean; but to catch it, you will need to increase the fishing experience. All you need to do is swipe on it to deal damage(swiping the fish reduces its health. When the health of the fish reaches 0, you get the fish). But if you have a low-quality boat, items(equipment), low-fishing experience, you will not be able to catch the epic fish in the Hooked Inc game. It sounds difficult, but it’s not. Upgrade the boat, items, and crews to progress.

Here’s the main screen guide – 

Tap the compass icon to check the locations; move to new areas instantly when you have enough money. At the bottom of the compass menu, you can check the fishing experience, earning bonuses, stars. Tap the book icon to check the complete list of fish; rare, epic, and common. Visit new areas to collect new fish.

Tap the upgrade icon to access boat/items/crew upgrades. Tap the menu button to head to the store.

Guide To Crews In Hooked Inc

Crews are your assistants. They help you catch the fish + provide buffs. All the crews featured in the game have different abilities. Depending on their abilities, you get the benefit. For example; Rodrick is a crew who catches the fish when you are away(offline) and he can also increase the Idle fishing rate. On the main screen of the game, at the bottom, tap the upgrade button -> head to the crew tab -> there you can check out the crew’s abilities. To unlock a crew, you need gems. Read the cheats, tips part below to know all the ways to obtain gems.

Additionally, in the tournament, you can choose up to three crews. Read the tournament guide below.

Getting Buoy In Hooked Inc Fisher Tycoon

You will get Buoy once you have unlocked the crew “The Mechanic”. We’re talking about the regular buoy, not the event one – there was a Christmas event last year where the buoy was given for free. You place the buoy around the water and it will catch fish for you. 

Guide To Hooked Inc Items

You can equip up to four items to boost the income or for passive perks. You get these items from the boxes. How to get the box? When playing the game, pay attention to the boxes(from time to time, boxes arrives in the deep water, tap to collect). How to equip? Tap the upgrade button on the main screen -> head to the items tab -> tap the item -> equip. By default, you get 0 level items. And the rule is you can only equip level 1 or higher items. So make sure to upgrade that item to level 1. It will cost you green gems.

Duplicate items are used in upgrading(Sometimes you get a duplicate item from the boxes). You can also purchase the item box from the store menu in exchange for green gems(not recommended).

Stars And Fishing Experience

The star mechanics are related to the fish experience and the earning bonus. Tap the compass icon and at the bottom, you can check the number of stars, fishing experience. The more you have stars and fishing experience, the better will be the earning bonus.

Fishing Experience – Fishing Experience increases as you catch the fist and earn more money. Tap the collect button to add it to the earning bonus. Here’s an example; you have 8 stars.

Collect The Fishing Experience At The Right Time

So make sure to collect the fishing experience at the right time. Otherwise, your progress rate will be down. When? When you have the double fishing experience to collect.
