Peaceful and Predatory Baits

A common earthworm is universal bait for the simplest fish.

For peaceful fish, Wind-Up Tin rots meat inside a clicking tin, attracting small scavengers.

Another lure is Sturdy Earcrawler, which emits distinct sound vibrations that attract larger specimens.

This lure increases the chance of catching a trophy fish.

For predatory fish, Rainbow Fin flutters its bright feathers as you reel in the line.

Deadly Tick is a unique bait for predatory fish.
