'''Bait''' is a group of items that is mandatory for [[fishing]]. When a [[Fishing Poles|fishing pole]] is cast, at least one bait item must be in the player's [[inventory]]; otherwise, nothing can be caught. Fishing poles will cast their lines with no baits, but there will be no "bites" and no catches. The bait item is only consumed once the player reels in the line with a catch on the hook. It is not consumed upon the player casting the line or the line being reeled in with no catch. Even when the player does reel in a fish, there is only a chance that the bait will be consumed. |

* [[Worm]]s, [[Grasshopper]]s, and [[Jungle]] baits ([[Buggy]], [[Grubby]], and [[Sluggy]]) have a chance to spawn when destroying [[background object]]s on the [[surface]] (see table below). If the number of bait critters existing in the world has reached its upper limit, no more will spawn. The three types of Jungle baits share a total upper limit of 8. |

* Fishing itself can be a viable way of obtaining bait: Using [[Crate Potion|Crate]] and [[Sonar Potion]]s, and refusing common catches like [[Bass]], the Angler Bait obtained from the crates is generally more than what was used, and Master Bait with its 50% bait power (and thus, durability) will rapidly replace any other kind of bait. |

** The [[spawn rate]]s and spawn caps of critters are affected by many of the same factors as those of hostile enemies, hence [[Water Candle]]s, {{eil|Peace Candle|s}}, [[Battle Potion]]s, [[Calming Potion]]s, and [[Sunflower]]s will affect critter spawns. As such, when attempting to farm critters, it is advised to use a Battle Potion and either hold or place a Water Candle nearby. |
