Zangler Retail

A lightweight fishing helper for WoW Retail with keyboard and controller bindings, cast-and-reel controls, splash sound boost, session and lifetime catch reports, and a compact one-icon mode.

ZAngler — Fishing Made Simple for Retail

Set your fishing button, cast your line, and listen for the splash. ZAngler brings convenient fishing controls, catch reports, and a compact interface to World of Warcraft Retail.

One Button for Casting and Reeling

Assign a keyboard key or controller button to your fishing routine. Press it to cast, then press the same button at the splash to reel in.

Prefer clicking? Use the on-screen CAST / REEL IN button to follow your next action.

Every cast and reel requires your input—ZAngler does not fish automatically.

Keep Your Screen Clear

Minimize the full panel into a single Cast icon using the – button in the title bar.

  • Right-click the icon to reopen the panel.

  • Hold Shift and drag to move it.

  • Show or hide the “Right-click to open” hint.

Hear the Bite

Optional splash sound boost raises sound effects and temporarily mutes music and ambience while you fish, making the splash easier to hear. Turn it off whenever you prefer your normal audio mix.

Track Your Fishing

View session and lifetime catch reports to keep track of your catches during your current fishing session and over time.

Made for Retail

ZAngler works with Retail’s fishing profession tool slot. Your rod stays in that slot, and the panel shows whether one is equipped—no rod or weapon swapping required.

Easy Setup

Assign controls directly from the panel using Set fishing key and Set controller button.

Find additional settings under:

Esc → Options → AddOns → ZTV Addons → ZAngler

Useful commands:

  • /za key F9 — Set your fishing key to F9.

  • /za pad PAD1 — Set your controller fishing button to PAD1.

  • /za mini — Toggle compact mode.

  • /za mini note on or /za mini note off — Toggle the compact-mode hint.

  • /za sound off — Disable splash sound boost.

For World of Warcraft Retail — Midnight, Interface 12.0.
