Black Iron Bucket guide
The wiki's advice on the Black Iron Bucket is to lose it on purpose: it carries a -99% progress speed that cannot be changed, moves a total of 4 times while you fish, and takes around 6 minutes to reel in. If it leaves your control bar the line breaks instantly, whatever your progress, so the wiki recommends dropping it during admin abuses because it eats so much time.
It is a Special fish (rarity rank 14) caught during Admin Events, with a bait literally called 5 Dollars and a winter season tag. It pays 11,340 base XP, 39th among the 101 Specials and 136th of 1,260 fish in all, matching Supersized Scylla and Venoblossom and sitting just under Toilet Fish (12,000) and Sun (12,340).
The in-game quote is “tarnished stinks,” and the catch lines keep the mood: “I HATE TARNISHED!” and “WRONG BUCKET!”.
