Targeted Bait is a specialized type of bait which increases the chance of hooking a specific fish in a given area provided the fish can be caught in that area at that time, weather, and season. The bite rate for any targeted bait the same as for standard bait (reduces the delay before a nibble by 50%).[1]
When using targeted bait, the Spawn rate for the targeted fish is multiplied by 1.66, after applying Fishing Level and Fishing Zone modifiers.[2] In addition, the game will make up to three attempts to return a fish. If during any attempt the targeted fish is hooked, the player will hook the targeted fish. Otherwise, if none of the three attempts return the targeted fish, the player will hook the first item returned.[3]
Targeted Bait also works with Crab Pots.
It can be obtained from a Bait Maker after putting in any fish, which will result in 5-10 "[insert fish name here] Bait." The player can also purchases 8-12 targeted bait of a specific fish per day from the Fish Shop for double the sell price (0.2 x Fish price).
