Traits are permanent multipliers that boost both your money and your fish caught, from x1.05 up to x10. They stay hidden until a specific rebirth. Quick answer: complete Rebirth 7 to become a Storm Chaser, click the new Traits button on the left of your HUD, spend your free roll, then click any unlocked trait to equip it.
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Reach 2.9K fish caught and $21.88B |
| 2 | Confirm Rebirth 7 (Storm Chaser) |
| 3 | Click Traits and spend the free roll |
| 4 | Click a trait to equip it |
What Traits Do in Net a Fish?
Each trait applies one multiplier to money and fish caught. It also wraps your avatar in an aura and adds a name tag above your head. No level, quest or game pass unlocks the system. Only Rebirth 7 does.
Traits Unlock Requirement: Rebirth 7
The Traits button doesn’t appear until you rebirth from Captain to Storm Chaser. Both counters on the Rebirth screen must be met first.
| Rebirth | New Rank | Fish Caught (All Time) | Money Held |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rebirth 7 | Storm Chaser | 2.9K | $21.88B |
| Rebirth 8 | Deep Diver | 3.7K | $1.06T |
The fish counter is an all-time total, so every catch since your first session counts. Money is different: rebirth resets your cash to $0. Your fish, Fish Cooler, showcase, nets and upgrades carry over.
How to Reach the Rebirth 7 Targets?
Both targets come from the same loop: catch fish, showcase the best ones, then spend the income on better gear.
- Let the net fill up. Cast with E or C, then wait until the net is nearly full (for example 130/131) before you press Reel In. More fish per cast pushes the 2.9K counter faster.
- Upgrade your nets. If a fish escapes, a floating label names the net it needs, like “Needs Aurora Net.” Buy the next net in the Nets tab of the Upgrades menu. Mid-game examples: Deepforge Net ($8M), Leviathan Net ($110M), Celestial Net ($450M), Seraphic Net ($1B).
- Showcase your best fish. Most of your money comes from displayed fish, not from selling. In the Fish Cooler, press Equip Best, then Fuse All to merge duplicates into stronger variants.
- Use the helpers. The Spear Gun, Fisherman and Boat all catch fish while you’re busy. See my Net a Fish codes guide for free crates and cash boosts to speed this up.
- Claim free rewards. Complete Index pages, claim the Leviathan Pass with CLAIM ALL, and open daily login crates.
How to Confirm Rebirth 7?
- Open the Rebirth menu and check that both counters meet the Rebirth 7 targets.
- Confirm the rebirth. Your money drops to $0 and a cutscene rebuilds your base.
- Read the unlocks popup and close it. Traits sits at the top, along with one free roll.
Rebirth 7 also gives you:
- Traits and the new Traits HUD button
- x2.75 money on showcase income
- The Storm Chaser base and title
- The Catamaran boat, which can bring back fish up to Monarch
How to Roll a Trait in Net a Fish?
- Click the star-shaped Traits button on the left of your HUD. The window shows YOUR TRAIT on the left and your trait library on the right.
- Press the roll button. Your first roll is the free one from Rebirth 7. A roulette wheel spins and stops on a result.
- Read the result card for the trait’s rarity, multiplier and odds. The trait joins your unlocked list immediately.
If the wheel lands on a trait you already own, you’ll see “You already have this trait” and nothing changes. That happens a lot among the low tiers.
How to Equip a Trait?
Equipping takes one click. In the Traits window, click any unlocked trait in the right-hand panel. It applies instantly, and you can switch freely between unlocked traits.
Only one trait works at a time, and multipliers don’t stack. Always equip the strongest one you own.
You’ll know it’s active when:
- The YOUR TRAIT box shows the new trait
- A tag above your avatar reads the trait’s name
- The matching aura appears around your character
- Your income rate above your head goes up after a swap
All Net a Fish Traits: Multipliers and Odds

| Forbidden | x2.2 | 1 in 42 |
| Cosmic | x2.4 | 1 in 61 |

| Zenith | x3.5 | 1 in 691 |
| Boundless | x4 | 1 in 1,388 |
| Eclipse | x4.5 | 1 in 1,824 |

| Endless | x6.5 | 1 in 3,715 |
| Absolute | x7.25 | 1 in 4,955 |
| Ancient | x8 | 1 in 7,431 |
| Primordial | x9 | 1 in 14,864 |
| Transcendent | x10 | 1 in 21,651 |
Monarch is the first big jump. It doubles everything at 1 in 24, which is realistic to land within a handful of rolls. Past Abyssal, the odds climb into the thousands.
How to Get More Trait Rolls?
After your free roll, extra rolls come from boss fights like The Bloop, daily login rewards, rebirth rewards, or Robux.
| Bundle | Price | Cost Per Roll |
|---|---|---|
| 1 roll | 49 Robux | 49 |
| 3 rolls | 129 Robux | 43 |
| 10 rolls | 399 Robux | ~40 |
| 50 rolls | 1,799 Robux | ~36 |
The 50-roll bundle is the cheapest per roll, so if you’re going to spend Robux, bigger bundles make more sense than single rolls.
A pity counter in the Traits window also helps. A fresh one reads “Abyssal in 99 – Endless in 249,” dropping by one each roll. That guarantees an Abyssal within 100 rolls and an Endless within 250.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Hunting for Traits before Rebirth 7. There’s no early unlock.
- Spending Robux on single rolls. Bundles are cheaper per roll.
- Forgetting to equip. A new roll is only added to your list. Check that YOUR TRAIT shows the best one.
- Expecting stacking. Owning several traits doesn’t add their multipliers.
Pro Tips
- Save free rolls from bosses and daily crates, then spend them together so the pity counter works for you.
- Swap traits and watch the income number above your head to confirm the boost.
- After rebirth your showcase starts empty, so refill it first. The trait multiplier works best on a full showcase.
What’s Next: Rebirth 8 (Deep Diver)
Rebirth 8 needs 3.7K fish caught and $1.06T. It unlocks x3.00 money, the Abyss base, the Deep Diver title, Bait Saver, Showroom Lights, upgrades up to level 20, Golden Grub and Shiny Hook. For tougher fish, check my Net a Fish upgrade guide and rebirth guide.
