How to Fish game skins are somewhat of a novelty in this game. Skins don’t show up in an inventory. They attach straight to the weapon you won them for. And you can win a Legendary skin by putting Drip creatures into slot machines. Learn how to equip and win skins in this How to Fish game guide.

What You’ll Read:
How to Equip a Skin in How to Fish
Press C to change the skin on whichever weapon you’re currently holding. On a QWERTY keyboard, that’s Z instead. Nothing in the tutorial or menus tells you this, but a player asked on the Steam forums after checking every settings tab, and the fix landed in one reply.
Swap weapons, and the shortcut still works the same way, since the skin lives on the item, not on you. Pull out your rod, hit C, and cycle through what you’ve unlocked for it. Switch to a gun and do the same thing again.
How to Get Skins from the Reel of Fortune
Every island has its own Reel of Fortune, also called the slot machine, and they all work the same way. Spin it, and the prize is a weapon skin. It doesn’t get in your inventory, though. It attaches silently to whatever item it belongs to. So if you don’t equip that specific weapon and press C or Z, you’ll never see what you won. There are 127 skins in the game that you can equip on different guns or rods.
What you feed the machine to spin is Drip creatures, the rare, rainbow-named critters wandering the islands. So you need to find and catch Drip creatures before anything else.
GOLD GOLD GOLD Achievement for Legendary Skin
The Legendary skin is the most rare skin in the game. Pull one from the Reel of Fortune, and you unlock GOLD GOLD GOLD, the achievement tied specifically to legendary skins. 53.3% of players already have it. That’s over half the player base, which tells you the odds aren’t brutal.
Below legendary, the game doesn’t spell out a rarity system anywhere officially. But there are Common skins implied, not confirmed.
That’s everything about How to Fish skins. Did you get the Legendary skin yet? Let me know in the comments.
