- 36Fishing for joke weapons: Every time you fish at sea, the first bite will be a joke weapon. This triggers once per sea fishing session. You need at least seven days to get all of them. You must spend at least one bait before exiting the fishing mini-game after getting a joke weapon. The weapons appear in order: Bus Stop Sign (MC), Pinwheel (Yosuke), Bat Saucer (Yukiko), Hyper Drill (Teddie), Flintlock (Naoto), Colored Bench (Kanji), Metal Geta (Chie). These do not spend fishing tries. If you are not interested, throw bait and pull it back immediately to keep your bait. Always watch for single ripples, as they are debris and use up a fishing try.
