How do I use fishing tackle in Stardew Valley?

First things first, ya gotta have a fishing rod that can actually handle tackle. That means upgrading from that basic bamboo pole to either the Fiberglass Rod or the Iridium Rod. The Fiberglass lets you attach bait while the Iridium Rod can hold both bait and tackle. Once you've got one of those, open your inventory, right-click on the tackle, and then click on your rod. Bam! Tackle attached. Now go catch some fish!

Honestly, I didn't bother with tackle until I was deep into the game. But it's a game changer once you do! Open your inventory, grab the tackle with a right-click, and pop it onto your Iridium or Fiberglass Rod. Makes fishing a lot more interesting with the different effects each tackle has.
