Challenge Bait

A "perfect" catch yields triple the fish. However, each time a fish escapes the "fishing bar", the catch is reduced.

Challenge Bait is used to catch up to 3 fish at once. It reduces the delay before a nibble on a fishing rod by 62.5%, the same as with Wild Bait.[1] It can be crafted after receiving the Fishing Mastery. It can also be found in Golden Fishing Treasure Chests (7% chance).

If the player catches the fish perfectly, 3 fish will be caught. Otherwise, the amount of fish caught will decrease by one each time the fish leaves the fishing bar. The fish will be lost if the fish leaves the fishing bar 3 times.

The amount of fish the player will catch is displayed right outside of the mini-game display on the top-right. It is the amount of fish the player will catch provided the fish does not leave the fishing bar again.

Challenge Bait cannot be used with the Training Rod or the Bamboo Pole. Only the Fiberglass Rod, the Iridium Rod, and the Advanced Iridium Rod can use bait. Challenge bait can also technically be used in a Crab Pot, but it is no better than standard bait.

Use

Requires: Fiberglass Rod.png Fiberglass Rod, Iridium Rod.png Iridium Rod, or Advanced Iridium Rod.png Advanced Iridium Rod.

Each cast uses one piece of bait or one magnet. When all bait is used up, the game pops up a notification saying "You've used your last piece of bait."

To attach bait to a fishing rod, open the inventory, click on the bait (Left-Click.png left-click or Right-Click.png right-click, depending on how many bait will be used), and then Right-Click.png on the rod. To remove bait, Right-Click.png on the rod.

On an Xbox controller, press 360 A.png on the bait to select the whole stack (or 360 X.png to pick up a single one), then 360 X.png to attach to the rod.

On a PS4 controller, press PS4 Cross.png on the bait to select the whole stack (or PS4 Square.png to pick up a single one), then PS4 Square.png to attach to the rod.

On a Nintendo Switch Controller, Press Switch A.png on the bait to select the whole stack (Or Switch Y.png to pick up a single one), then Switch Y.png to attach to the rod.

Bait can be detached by pressing PS4 Cross.png on either Controller. (Switch Y.png on Nintendo Switch)

For the mobile version, bait can be added to the fishing rod by opening the inventory, then dragging the bait and dropping it on top of the rod.
