Any type of bait can be used in a crab pot. Using certain types of specialized types of bait will provide additional benefits:

Any type of bait can be used in a crab pot. Using certain types of specialized types of bait will provide additional benefits, assuming the player does not have the Mariner profession:<ref name="specialized_bait" />

*[[Deluxe Bait]] decreases the chance of junk and increases the quality of Crab Pot fish to silver.

*[[Deluxe Bait]] decreases the chance of junk (from 38% to 30.2% in most areas) and increases the quality of Crab Pot fish to silver.

*[[Wild Bait]] decreases the chance of junk by the same amount.

*[[Wild Bait]] decreases the chance of junk by the same amount (from 38% to 30.2% in most areas).

*[[Targeted Bait]] also decreases the chance of junk by the same amount and if used with a crab pot fish, increases the chance to catch that fish.

*Using any non-Crab Pot Fish [[Targeted Bait]] also decreases the chance of junk by the same amount (from 38% to 30.2% in most areas). Crab Pot Fish Targeted Bait uses the same decrease for the chance of junk, and also increases the chance to catch that specific Crab Pot fish, decreasing the chance of getting other items which includes decreasing the chance of trash further.

*[[Magnet]], [[Magic Bait]], and [[Challenge Bait]] do not provide additional benefits compared to [[Bait (item)|standard bait]].

*[[Magnet]], [[Magic Bait]], and [[Challenge Bait]] do not provide additional benefits compared to [[Bait (item)|standard bait]].

<ref name="crabpot_chance">Crab pot contents are determined by <samp>CrabPot::DayUpdate</samp>.  For mariners, there is no chance of junk, and all creatures are equally likely. For non-mariners, there is a 20% chance of junk, then each creature is checked sequentially using the chances specified in <samp>Fish.xnb</samp>. One result of this algorithm is that the actual chance of finding a given creature is smaller than the value in the input file, because it can only be found if junk items and all previous creatures failed their tests. If no creature is found, the code falls back to trash; this adds 18% more chance of trash (for both ocean and freshwater crab pots).  Note that the order in which catches are checked is not the same as the order in the <samp>Data\Fish</samp> table (see [[Talk:Crab Pot|Discussion]] for more details).</ref>
