Planterech guide

Spring mornings at Toxic Grove are the window for Planterech, an Unusual leech whose tendrils plant spores in the sediment, thriving in the toxic muck near splashes. It takes Lagoon Leech as bait and bites during the day, and the data does not restrict the weather.

It is a light catch: 2.5 kg at minimum, 7.4 kg at most, 3 kg on average. Its sale price per kilogram is high, C$165.7, so an average fish is worth about C$497, and it also gives 340 base XP. That puts it 399th of the 742 documented fish by average value, a middling spot, while its maximum weight is 499th of 663, so the price is a bigger part of its appeal than its size.

Mire Krakenling is the other Unusual fish documented for Toxic Grove. The zone also sells two rods, Decayed Rod and Plaguereaver, which means you can buy gear on site before starting.

My assessment: it is a decent Unusual catch, not an exceptional one. Use it when you are already working Toxic Grove in Spring and have Lagoon Leech available. The C$497 average will not change your finances, but the XP is respectable for such a small fish, and the zone is convenient because rods are on sale there.
