When using targeted bait, the [[Modding:Fish data#Spawn rate|Spawn rate]] for the targeted fish is multiplied by 1.66, after applying Fishing Level and [[Fishing#Fishing Zone|Fishing Zone]] modifiers.<ref name="spawnrate" /> In addition, the game will make up to three attempts to return a fish. If during any attempt the targeted fish is hooked, the player will hook the targeted fish. Otherwise, if none of the three attempts return the targeted fish, the player will hook the first item returned.<ref name="specificbait" />

Note that Targeted Bait will not work with some fish that ignore the fish data requirements. See the [[#Fish Not Affected|list of fish not affected]].

It can be obtained from a [[Bait Maker]] after putting in any fish, which will result in 5-10 "[insert fish name here] Bait." The player can also purchases 8-12 targeted bait of a specific fish per day from the [[Fish Shop]] for double the sell price (0.2 x [[Fish]] price).

In some cases, using targeted bait does not increase the fish bite rate. This happens when the fish data requirements are ignored and no game code indicates the bite rates increase with targeted bait. The fish affected are:

*All [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]] and [[Fish#Legendary Fish II|Legendary Fish II]]

*All Fish from the [[Night Market#Fishing Submarine|Night Market Fishing Submarine]]
