Bait can be bought at the Fish Shop for 5g each, or found while fishing.
It cannot be used with the Bamboo Pole. Only the Fiberglass Rod (unlocked at Fishing skill level 2) or the Iridium Rod can use bait.
Usage
Requires:
Fiberglass Rod or 
Iridium Rod
To attach the bait to your rod, left-click the bait in your backpack (or right-click to pick up a single one), then right-click the rod.
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.
Only one bait will be consumed per use. The remaining bait can be detached by right-clicking the rod in your backpack or pressing X on the Controller.
Effect
Using bait with your fishing rod reduces the delay before a nibble by 50%.
