'''Wild Bait''' is a type of [[bait]] that makes it possible to catch two fish at the same time and also makes fish bite slightly faster than [[Bait (item)|standard bait]]. You can only craft Wild Bait after being taught the recipe by [[Linus]], during his [[Linus#Four Hearts|4-heart cutscene]]. Once you know the recipe it is also possible to obtain Wild Bait from [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Fishing Treasure Chests]]. It is possible to find Wild Bait in artifact spots on [[Ginger Island]] even before triggering the cutscene with Linus.
'''Wild Bait''' is a type of [[bait]] that makes it possible to catch two fish at the same time. The chance of two fish being caught at once is equal to <code>0.25 + Daily [[Luck]] / 2.0</code>. It also reduces the delay before a nibble on a fishing rod by 62.5%, making fish bite slightly faster than with [[Bait (item)|standard bait]].<ref name="bobberbar" />
Wild Bait cannot be used with the [[Training Rod]] or the [[Bamboo Pole]]. Only the [[Fiberglass Rod]] (unlocked at [[Fishing]] level 2) or the [[Iridium Rod]] (unlocked at Fishing level 6) can use bait. Wild bait can also technically be used in a [[Crab Pot]], but it is no better than standard bait: crab pots never produce double fish.
Wild Bait can be [[Crafting|crafted]] after being taught the recipe by [[Linus]] during his [[Linus#Four Hearts|4-heart cutscene]]. Once the recipe is known it is also possible to obtain Wild Bait from [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Fishing Treasure Chests]]. It can also be found in [[Artifact Spot|artifact spots]] on [[Ginger Island]], even before triggering the cutscene with Linus.
Note that catching two fish does not grant double [[fishing]] experience points. However, catching two fish while working on a fishing or [[Quests#List of Special Orders|special order]] quest counts both fish toward the required total.
Wild 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.
Wild bait can be used in a [[Crab Pot]], where it decreases the chance of catching trash (if the player does not have the [[Skills#Fishing|Mariner]] profession) compared to using [[Bait (item)|standard bait]].<ref name="crabpotjunk" />
