Strata-Bound Bass guide

Strata-Bound Bass is a Rare fish from the Drylands, and the wiki says its multi-colored scales mirror the geological strata lines of the canyon walls. To catch one you need Worm, clear weather and summer, with no time-of-day restriction, so a hot, bright afternoon works as well as a night.

It is a decent mid-size fish. Average weight is 27.5 kg (10 to 94.5 kg), and the rate of C$8.11 per kg gives an average sale of about C$223. That is 476 of the 742 documented fish, close to the middle, with a maximum weight ranking of 284 of 663. Base XP is 225, which is a reasonable return for the effort.

The price per kilo is low, and the money comes from size. This is the opposite of a small, expensive fish: if you get a heavy one near the upper end of its range, it brings in several times the average, and a light one will feel like a wasted cast.

Duneseat Crustacean and Dustveil Ray share its Rare rarity in the Drylands, so you may meet any of the three on the same trip.

Verdict: a reliable summer pick when you are already in the Drylands with Worm. Do not expect a jackpot, but the XP and weight potential make it worth keeping rather than tossing.
