Fishing bait detail

Fishing bait is used with the fishing rod. It is used to fish in any fishing spot as long as the spot has the Bait Fishing Spot option.

Each catch uses up one piece of bait, so take this in to account if you wish to catch a lot of fish.

Fishing stores in Port Sarim, Catherby, Miscellania, Etceteria, Rellekka, Shilo Village and the Fishing Guild with a starting price of 3 coins each.

Using fishing bait with a fishing rod, you can catch the following types of fish:
