'''Bait''' can be attached to a [[Fiberglass Rod]], an [[Iridium Rod]], an [[Advanced 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 [[Skills#Fishing|Luremaster]] profession). Bait is always a single-use item.

If the player uses a fishing rod with the [[Forge#Tool enchantments|Preserving enchantment]], for each nibble there is a 50% chance for bait to not be consumed.
