Best bait in Fish It
The best bait in Fish It is Singularity Bait if you want the highest Luck boost for endgame fishing. For most players, Aether Bait and Dark Matter Bait are more realistic late-game options because they are easier to use while farming money, EXP, and rare fish.
Which Bait Works Best for Each Rod Type?
Using the best fishing rod alone won’t do the trick in Fish It. You have to use the best bait if you want to catch rare, heavy, and mutated fish. You can buy different types of Bait from the Bait Shop at Stingray Shores and from the Traveling Merchant. However, these are the ones most worth buying:
| Bait | Effect | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Matter Bait | Increases your luck by 160%, EXP earning by 5%, and chances of catching a Shiny fish by 5%. | 630K |
| Aether Bait | Increases your luck by 260%, chances of catching a mutated fish by 15%, and chances of catching a Shiny fish by 5%. | 3.70M |
| Singularity Bait | Increases your luck by 380%, making it the strongest raw-luck bait currently available. | 8.20M |
Equip the Dark Matter Bait to earn EXP and increase your level. Use the Aether Bait when you want a strong all-around late-game option, and use the Singularity Bait when you want the highest possible Luck boost for top-end secret fish farming. These work on all Rods, but of course it's best to put them on your best rods, like Diamond, Element, Angler, or Ghostfinn.
Best enchants and elements for Fish It rods
The best enchants for most Fish It rods are Leprechaun II, Empowered I, Big Hunter I, and Reeler I. Use Luck-based enchants like Leprechaun II on your strongest rods when farming rare or secret fish, use Empowered I when you want a mix of Luck and Speed, and use Big Hunter I when you want bigger fish.
If you are using Element Rod, Diamond Rod, Ghostfinn Rod, Bamboo Rod, or Angler Rod, prioritize enchants that improve Luck, Speed, or fish size instead of wasting stones on low-impact bonuses.
| Enchant | Effect |
|---|---|
| Empowered I | Increases Rod Luck by 20% and Speed by 10%. |
| Leprechaun I | Increases Rod Luck by 30%. |
| Leprechaun II | Increases Rod Luck by 50%. |
| XPerienced I | Earn 1.5x more XP with every fish you catch. |
| Big Hunter I | Catch 10% bigger fish every time. |
| Reeler I | Reel in a fish 7% faster. |
