# Baits

## Baits

Baits are consumable tackle that improve fishing odds. They can provide faster bites, heavier catches, better Variant or Shiny chances, higher IVs, and more. Equip Bait beside your Hook through **Rod Setup**. Cast your rod, then use **Crouch + Right-Click**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Bait is optional. You can fish with only a Hook equipped. Bait improves your odds but consumes stock over time.
{% endhint %}

***

### How Bait Is Consumed

Each cast can use one unit of equipped Bait. The table lists this **Consumption Chance**. Re-equip or buy more when your stack runs out.

The **Shiny Pokeblock** line also expires outside a Bait Fridge. Check the **Fridge Expiry** column.

***

### Bait Fridge

Store expiring Bait in a **Bait Fridge**, which is a designated barrel block. Stored Bait lasts significantly longer than Bait in your inventory. Right-click the fridge to deposit or withdraw Bait.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Spoiled Bait cannot be equipped. Replace any spoiled Bait on your rod or in your inventory.
{% endhint %}

### FAQ

<details>

<summary>Do I lose my Bait every cast?</summary>

Not necessarily. Each current Bait has a 25% Consumption Chance, so most casts do not use it up.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is the difference between Fish Eggs, Pokeblocks, and the Cut line?</summary>

They target different fish rarity brackets. Fish Eggs target Rare Fish. Cut Baits and Fish Hunks target Mythical Fish. Pokeblocks focus on bite chance and Pokémon size or ability outcomes.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why did my Shiny Pokeblock Bait disappear?</summary>

Shiny Pokeblock Baits expire after 15 minutes unless stored in a Bait Fridge. The fridge extends their shelf life considerably.
