− | '''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.
