Tier rankings and effect numbers are sourced from Gamezebo's lure tier list (last updated June 8, 2026), a single source. We will keep the single-source warning until a second independent source agrees on the same tier ordering. The fastest cross-check is the catch-bugs.com main wiki page; if it ever publishes a lure tier list, this page will be re-verified.

Apply excellent buffs that work in any biome. Best paired with a Bone Net and a Rune charge for Zenith/Supreme farming.

Great alternatives when you cannot afford an S-tier lure or need a specific niche (luck stacking, weather event pairing).

All tier rankings and effect numbers above are sourced from Gamezebo's lure tier list (last updated June 8, 2026). Gamezebo is a recognised Roblox coverage outlet, but we have not yet found a second independent source with the same tier ordering. The catch-bugs.com main page mentions individual lures but does not publish a ranked tier list. Re-verify the S-tier ordering if you are chasing top-tier mutation rates.
