'''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]].  You can only craft Wild Bait after being taught the recipe by [[Linus]], during his [[Linus#Four Hearts|4-heart cutscene]]. Once you know the recipe it is also possible to obtain Wild Bait from [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Fishing Treasure Chests]]. It is possible to find Wild Bait in artifact spots on [[Ginger Island]] even before triggering the cutscene with Linus.

Wild Bait cannot be used with the [[Training Rod]] or the [[Bamboo Pole]]. Only the [[Fiberglass Rod]] (unlocked at [[Fishing]] level 2) or the [[Iridium Rod]] (unlocked at Fishing level 6) can use bait. Wild bait can also technically be used in a [[Crab Pot]], but it is no better than standard bait: crab pots never produce double fish.

*Using Wild Bait with your fishing rod 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.
