Tips

The low defense of this armor can put Hardmode players at a disadvantage, even though it reduces enemy spawn rates. Therefore, it is recommended to take measures when fishing (e.g. a box of blocks with a floor of platforms, Peace Candles, traps, minions) in order to prevent enemies from getting too close and/or quickly killing the player.
Fishing near NPCs also help as enemy spawn rates drastically decrease when near a town.
