Excluding the bamboo rod, to attach the bait to your rod, enter the inventory menu and click on the bait (left-click or right-click, depending on how many you want to pick up), and then right-click the rod. The bait you selected then disappears from view, but it remains associated with the rod. Exit the inventory menu to begin fishing. You will use one bait each time you cast. When (if) you use up all the selected bait, the game notifies you with a pop-up message. If you finish fishing without depleting your bait, it remains indefinitely (and invisibly) with the rod for next time. You may also enter the inventory menu again and right-click the rod to separate the bait and put it back in visible inventory.

This article is about the item category. For the item, see Bait (item).

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.

Usage

To attach bait to a fishing rod, click on the bait (left-click or right-click, depending on how many you want to pick up), and then right-click on the rod. To remove bait, right-click on the rod.

Each cast uses one piece of bait or one magnet. When all bait is used up, the game pops up a notification saying "You've used your last piece of bait."

On an Xbox controller, press A on the bait to select the whole stack (or X to pick up a single one), then X to attach to the rod.

On a PS4 controller, press X on the bait to select the whole stack (or [] to pick up a single one), then [] to attach to the rod.

Bait can be detached by pressing X on either Controller.

Bait.png
Bait Causes fish to bite faster. Must first be attached to a fishing rod. Default bait, decreases the time taken for fish to bite (reduces the delay before a nibble by 50%) and lowers chance of getting trash items. The recipe is earned at Fishing Level 2. data-sort-value="5">Gold.png5g Bug Meat.png Bug Meat (1)
Magnet.png
Magnet Increases the chance of finding treasures when fishing. However, fish aren't crazy about the taste. Increases the treasure chance by 100% (30% chance instead of the base 15%). This item is decent if you want extra materials or are collecting artifacts, although it does have a lower bite rate than regular bait. The recipe is earned at Fishing level 9. data-sort-value="1000">Gold.png1,000g Iron Bar.png Iron Bar (1)
