Rusty Bolt guide
Rusty Bolt is a Trash-rarity catch from The Mineshaft, and the bait to bring is Magnet. It is a corroded scrap of metal that weighs between 0.2 and 0.8 kg, with an average of 0.3 kg.
The numbers are as modest as the item. It pays C$130 per kg, which works out to roughly C$39 for an average specimen, and it gives only 30 base XP. By sale value it sits at 673 of the 742 documented fish, and by maximum weight at 634 of 663, so it is close to the bottom on both lists.
There is no reason to chase it for profit. A cast aimed at The Mineshaft will hand you one now and then, and the practical advice is simply to sell it and keep fishing. The only reason to care is completion: if you are filling out a collection of everything The Mineshaft can produce, the bolt is a line you will tick off without trying. Otherwise, treat it as the cost of fishing with Magnet and move on to catches that actually move your balance.
