The bite rate for any targeted bait the same as for standard bait (reduces the delay before a nibble by 50%).^[1] When using targeted bait, the Spawn rate for the targeted fish increases by 66%.^[2] In addition, the game will attempt to return up to 3 different fish (not exactly 3 because of Spawn rates, which means a fish may sometimes not be returned). If the game ever returns the targeted fish, the targeted fish will be hooked. Otherwise, the player will hook the first fish the game returned, or trash if no fish was returned.^[3]

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).

Use

Requires: Fiberglass Rod, Iridium Rod, or Advanced Iridium 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."

To attach bait to a fishing rod, open the inventory, click on the bait ( left-click or right-click, depending on how many bait will be used), and then on the rod. To remove bait, on the rod.

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

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

On a Nintendo Switch Controller, Press 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 on either Controller. ( on Nintendo Switch)

For the mobile version, bait can be added to the fishing rod by opening the inventory, then dragging the bait and dropping it on top of the rod. Bait cannot be conventionally removed on mobile but one type of bait may be switched out for another, which will move the bait previously on the rod back to the inventory.
