Moving effect section to the top as it's way more important than the generic use template and to make all bait pages read the same.

'''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]]. Wild Bait can be 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 is possible to find Wild Bait in [[Artifact Spot|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 <samp>0.25 + Daily [[Luck]] / 2.0</samp>. 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]], 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 trash (if the player does not have the [[Skills#Fishing|Mariner]] profession) compared to using [[Bait (item)|standard bait]] and gives crab pots a 25% chance to produce 2 items.<ref name="crabpotjunk" />

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.

*Using Wild Bait reduces the delay before a nibble by 62.5%. There is also a chance to catch two fish, equal to <samp>0.25 + Daily [[Luck]] / 2.0</samp> <ref name="bobberbar" />.  The chance to catch 2 fish does not apply to [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]]. It can however, catch 2 of the semi-Legendary fish caught from the [[Quests#Extended Family|Extended Family]] quest line.
