Truffle Worm

Download Article

1. 
   While the Luminous Larva has trumped the Truffle Worm as the best bait in Fisch, the Truffle Worm is still a very good bait to use. It's preferred by 15 total fish, and it increases the preferred luck by 300 for these fish—many of which are high rarity. The best way to get Truffle Worms is by buying Coral Geodes from the shop in the Desolate Pocket for 600C$ per geode.

   • Rarity: Legendary
   • How to get: Coral Geode, Volcanic Geode, treasure chests, Angler NPC quests, codes, opening eggs
   • Lure speed: -10

Weird Algae

Download Article

1. 
   While Weird Algae might seem like a poor choice since it lowers your lure speed by 35, this bait actually increases your universal luck by 200. That means it increases the luck for any fish you catch with it by 200, instead of just fish that prefer it. It's great for catching high-rarity fish if you're trying to fill out that bestiary. The best way to get Weird Algae is from Quality Bait Crates (which have an 11.11% chance to give Weird Algae).

   • Rarity: Legendary
   • How to get: Quality Bait Crate, treasure chest, Angler NPC quests, codes
   • Lure speed: -35
   • Universal luck: 200
   • Best fish: Phantom Ray, Dweller Catfish, Golden Seahorse, Countdown Perch

Shrimp

Download Article

1. 
   The humble Shrimp might be just an Uncommon rarity bait, but it's one of the best baits in the entire game. That's because this bait has both preferred luck and universal luck, which means it's a great choice no matter what fish you're trying to catch. It's also the preferred bait of the elusive Squid, so make sure you bring along some Shrimp if you're going for that catch. The best way to get Shrimp is from Bait Crates (which have a 7.69% chance of giving Shrimp).

   • Rarity: Uncommon
   • How to get: Bait Crate, Common Crate, Angler NPC quests
   • Resilience: -5
   • Preferred luck: 45
   • Universal luck: 25
   • Best fish: Squid

5

Deep Coral

Download Article

1. 
   Despite having -10 to preferred luck, Deep Coral is a good bait to use in the Depths because so many fish in the Depths have it as a preferred bait. (And yes…even though some fish prefer this bait, they still are affected by the -10 preferred luck stat). The best way to get Deep Coral is from Coral Geodes, which can be purchased for 600C$ from the shop in the Desolate Pocket. You can also fish up Coral Geodes using the Magnet Rod.

   • Rarity: Legendary
   • How to get: Coral Geodes
   • Resilience: 50
   • Preferred luck: -10
   • Best fish: Barreleye Fish, Lepidotes, Spider Crab, Black Dragon Fish

Rapid Catcher

Download Article

1. 
   Unlike some of the other baits on this list, the Rapid Catcher isn't actually preferred for any particular fish. It is, however, a good bait to use with the Brick Rod. If you have the Brick Rod with the hasty enchantment and use the Rapid Catcher bait, your lure speed will be incredibly high. You should only use this with rods that have high resilience, though, since the bait lowers your rod's resilience by 15.

   • Rarity: Rare
   • How to get: Bait Crates, Common Crates, Quality Bait Crates, Volcanic Geodes, Coral Geodes, Angler NPC quests
   • Lure speed: 35
   • Resilience: -15
   • Best rod: Brick Rod

Fish Head

Download Article

1. 
   Despite the -10 resilience, the Fish Head is one of the best baits in Fisch. A whopping total of 20 fish prefer this bait, and using Fish Heads will increase your luck catching those fish by 150. Notably, it's the preferred bait for the Skelefish limited catch. The best way to get Fish Heads is in Quality Bait Crates (which have an 11.1% chance of giving Fish Heads).

   • Rarity: Legendary
   • How to get: Bait Crates, Quality Bait Crates, Angler NPC quests
   • Lure speed: 10
   • Resilience: -10
   • Preferred luck: 150
   • Best fish: Skelefish, Sea Snake, Alligator, Brine Phantom

Squid

Download Article

1. 
   Just like the Shrimp, the Squid is an uncommon bait that increases both preferred and universal luck. However, while the Shrimp lowers resilience a tiny amount, the Squid lowers your rod's lure speed by quite a bit. Even so, many fish prefer this bait, which makes it one of the best choices in the game. The best way to get Squid is from Quality Bait Crates (which have a 12.5% chance of giving Squid).

   • Rarity: Uncommon
   • How to get: Bait Crates, Quality Bait Crates, Common Crates
   • Lure speed: -25
   • Preferred luck: 55
   • Universal luck: 45
   • Best fish: Ghoulfish, Lurkerfish, Baby Pond Emperor, Moby

9

Seaweed

Download Article

1. 
   While Seaweed is a pretty common bait, it's actually a great bait to keep on hand. That's because this bait increases lure speed and increases resilience. That makes it a great choice for fish that don't have a preferred bait (like the Colossal Squid). It also has a preferred luck bonus, which makes it a good choice for fish that like it. The best way to get Seaweed is from Bait Crates (which have a 36.5% chance to give Seaweed).

   • Rarity: Unusual
   • How to get: Bait Crates, Quality Bait Crates, Common Crates, Angler NPC quests
   • Lure speed: 20
   • Resilience: 10
   • Preferred luck: 35
   • Best fish: Colossal Squid, Scooty Salmon, Mustard, Sea Pickle

Shark Head

Download Article

1. 
   The Shark Head is one of the rarer baits, but it's definitely worth the effort. Giving a massive luck boost on all variants of the Megalodon (and nothing else), this bait should be saved for when one appears.

   • Rarity: Mythical
   • How to get: Quality Bait Crates, Angler NPC quests
   • Lure speed: -5
   • Resilience: 10
   • Preferred luck: 225
   • Best fish: Megalodon, Ancient Megalodon, Phantom Megalodon
