Bait can be attached to a [[Fiberglass Rod]] or an [[Iridium Rod]], or inserted into a [[Crab Pot]]. Crab Pots require bait to catch [[fish]], but fishing rods do not require it. However, attaching bait to a fishing rod will decrease the delay before a fish bites or increase the chance to find treasure.

Bait can be attached to a [[Fiberglass Rod]] or an [[Iridium Rod]], or inserted into a [[Crab Pot]]. Fishing rods do not require bait, but fish will bite faster with bait; specialized baits provide additional benefits. Crab Pots require bait to catch [[fish]] (unless the player has the [[Luremaster]] profession), but the type of bait has no effect on crab pots. Bait is always a single-use item.
