Fishing

Make fishing bait: ten-item recipes and batch budgets

v1.0.5 recipes · checked October 8, 2026

The short answer

Simple Bait unlocks at level 15: 2 Aquatic Pal Fluids, 4 Red Berries and 2 Flour make 10 bait. High Quality Bait unlocks at 22 and makes 10 from 3 Aquatic Pal Fluids, 4 Tomatoes and 3 Flour.

Read the output count before multiplying materials. These are batch recipes; spending the listed ingredients does not produce only one bait.

High Quality / 223 Aquatic Pal Fluids, 4 Tomato, 3 Flour10

Both item records list ordinary production workbenches, including a Primitive Workbench. The rod has its own facility requirements: do not assume the bait bench can also craft your selected rod. Deluxe and Alluring are later bait tiers; use the current spot's recommendation when deciding whether your available tier suits that trip.

Budget complete batches and reserve other materials

For 30 Simple Bait, make three batches: 6 Aquatic Pal Fluids, 12 Red Berries and 6 Flour. For 50 High Quality Bait, make five: 15 Fluids, 20 Tomatoes and 15 Flour. These are recipe calculations, not predictions of 30 or 50 successful catches.

If you have 7 Aquatic Pal Fluids, the Simple recipe allows three batches with one Fluid left. Other ingredients can be the tighter constraint: 5 Flour permits only two Simple batches even when you have plenty of Fluids. Count the whole recipe before taking a long trip.

Keep Flour needed for other production separate from your fishing reserve. Prepare a small trial stack when changing bait or moving to a new region; count the actual rewards before committing the rest.

Craft, collect and check the selected use

  1. Unlock the bait recipe in Technology, open a compatible bench and choose the named bait.
  2. Set the batch amount and read the finished-item count. Start production and collect it when complete.
  3. For manual fishing, carry it with your equipped rod and check the spot's current prompt.
  4. For a Fishing Pond, select the shadow/production option and inspect its bait requirement before starting.
  5. If production is unavailable, check unlock, facility, ingredient name and stock. If fishing fails after production succeeded, use the interaction checks.

Bait quantity is not a legendary-drop promise

v1.0.4 changed the item quantities awarded by each bait type. An older multiplier or a player's haul is not a current guaranteed return. Higher bait does not replace the correct rod, active fish shadow or control timing.

A Powerful Fishing Magnet is a salvage consumable. Keep its inventory budget separate from these bait recipes; it does not turn every ordinary cast into an advanced barrel pull.
