Magic Bait can be attached to a [[Fiberglass Rod]] or an [[Iridium Rod]], or inserted into a [[Crab Pot]]. Fishing rods do not require bait, but fish will bite faster with bait; this specialized bait provides the ability to catch any fish from that source regardless of weather, time, or season. Bait is always a single-use item.
For the mobile version, you can add bait to your fishing rod by opening your inventory, then drag the bait and drop it on top of the rod.
