The Sonar Potion is a buff potion which grants the Sonar buff when consumed. The buff displays the name of a fishing catch above a fishing pole's bobber when it receives a bite while fishing. The item's rarity will also be displayed with the text of the name of the catch. This lasts for 8 minutes, but can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the icon (), by selecting the icon using Cycle Next/Previous Buff and then pressing Remove Buff (), by selecting the icon and canceling it in the equipment menu (), by double-tapping the buff icon (), or by canceling the buff from the buffs screen (). This potion can be obtained both from crafting and as a reward from the Angler for completing fishing quests.

Notes

• If Pickup Text is disabled in the game settings, the buff will not display anything.
• The Sonar Potion will display any fishable entity in blue text, which includes items, crates, Blood Moon enemies, and the Surly Slime.
  • When Blood Moon enemies or the Surly Slime are about to be fished up, the text for them is colored red.
  • One exception is the Duke Fishron, as no text is shown when it is about to be summoned.

Tips

• This potion is especially useful, allowing the player to choose what to reel in, and not waste bait on unnecessary fish as the cast can be left in the water until another fish bites at the line. This can be useful for angler quests as well as for fishing crates.

Trivia

• It has the same crafting recipe as the Gills Potion.
