The Catch is a 4-star polearm in Genshin Impact. This weapon, including the 4-star bow End of the Line, is part of the Fishing Association Series of weapons. Unlike most weapons, this polearm can’t be used to enhance another, as it can only be claimed once.
“In the distant past, this was the beloved spear of a famed Inazuman bandit.”

Recommended Characters
With its focus on Energy Recharge and Elemental Burst DMG, The Catch is a great option for characters who rely heavily on their Elemental Burst as an on-field or off-field DPS.
This weapon is one, if not the best F2P option for the Raiden Shogun, as she needs high Energy Recharge, which can be translated into Electro DMG. She can also easily take advantage of the Elemental Burst Crit Rate that The Catch provides because apart from the initial DMG she does with her Burst, her consecutive Normal Attacks during this state are infused with Electro and are considered Elemental Burst DMG.
It’s as if The Catch was created with a F2P Raiden Shogun in mind! However, if you have her signature weapon, the 5-star polearm Engulfing Lightning, that is still undeniably her BiS (best-in-slot).
Other characters who can take advantage of everything that The Catch has to offer are the 4-star Pyro character Xiangling, the 4-star Pyro character Thoma, and the 4-star Cryo character Rosaria. All these characters have extended Elemental Bursts, which maximize the bonus Burst DMG and CRIT Rate that the weapon provides.
