The '''Bait Bobber''' is a Special Weapon originating from the Make a Good Mega Man Level series, based on [[Reel Man]]. It is fishing bobber-shaped explosive strung to the user’s buster, which can pull in enemies it would otherwise destroy to use as projectiles.
==''Make a Good Mega Man Level 3''==
The Bait Bobber appears as a [[Contest Weapon Data|Contest Weapon]] in [[Make a Good Mega Man Level 3]]. With it, [[Mega Man]] can launch an explosive bobber a short distance in front of him, where it will either fall to the ground (on dry land) or rise up (in water), then get reeled back with the line attached to his buster. Holding Up or Down will angle the initial launch, and if the bobber is still intact, pressing Fire after the launch will pull the bobber back sooner. Retrieving an intact bobber will restore the weapon energy used to launch it.

Bait Bobbers normally inflict damage by exploding on contact, but only against bosses and enemies capable of surviving the explosion. When used on an enemy that such an explosion would destroy, the enemy is instead "caught" and pulled in front of Mega Man, becoming an explosive projectile the size of that enemy’s hitbox. This projectile has a "layered" explosion, so an enemy struck with it will be damaged separately by each "layer". Up until it explodes, Mega Man can either hold it in front of himself like a shield, or launch and return it like the initial Bait Bobber.

Entries in the [[Marine Compendium]] can only be filled by catching the enemy or boss in question with a Bait Bobber. The first catch for each new entry will not become a projectile - it will instead flicker in place with the message "New Catch!" displayed above it, then disappear and leave behind a few bolts.

By default, Bait Bobber explosions will inflict 3 points of damage to enemies, with Electric enemies taking only 1 point of damage.

===Damage Table===
The first number is the damage from a Bait Bobber’s regular explosion; The second number is the damage from the explosion from a "caught" enemy projectile.

 The concept of the Bait Bobber was originally submitted alongside Reel Man in the [[Make a Good Mega Man Robot Master]] contest. In ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 3]]'', the weapon appears as a [[Contest Weapon Data|Contest Weapon]] directly based on the submitted description. When fired, [[Mega Man]] launches a bobber a short distance ahead, with a thin line tethering it to the tip of his buster. The bobber initially flies a small distance upwards, before dropping down to the ground and automatically being reeled back in; pressing the Fire button will also reel it in. The initial trajectory of the Bait Bobber can be adjusted by holding Up or Down while firing. If the Bait Bobber lands in water, it will float up to the surface and only retract when the Fire button is pressed again.
-When an enemy is hit by the Bait Bobber, the weapon typically explodes on contact; a sufficiently weak(ened) enemy, however, will instead be "hooked" by the Bait Bobber and reeled in, becoming an explosive projectile the size of the captured enemy. The explosion released by a captured enemy is weaker, but can multihit enemies and pierce shields. Depending on the size of the caught enemy, it can also be used as a makeshift shield. The Bait Bobber otherwise functions as it normally would. Most minibosses and bosses are immune to being hooked by the Bait Bobber.

All subsequent captures will behave as normal. Bosses in the Compendium will only be caught if the Bait Bobber delivers the finishing blow.
-By default, the Bait Bobber does 3 points of damage to enemies, while the explosions from captured enemies inflict 1 point of damage. It is stronger against Aquatic and Cluster enemies, which take 4 damage from it (2 from an explosion). Against Bird, Flying, and Floating enemies, the Bait Bobber only does 1 damage (and explosions do 0.5).

Against Bird, Flying, and Floating enemies, the Bait Bobber only does 1 damage. The damage from a captured enemy's explosion is more variable: if launched directly at an enemy, it will inflict 3 points of damage per hit; if it explodes while reeled in (e.g. walking directly into an enemy with it), the explosion is weaker, inflicting only 1 point of damage per hit. Against Aquatic and Cluster enemies, enemy explosions will always inflict 2 points of damage per hit, and 0.5 damage per hit against Flying and Floating enemies; whether the hooked enemy was cast out or not is irrelevant.
