Fishing bait is an item used with the fishing rod. It is used to fish in any fishing spot as long as the spot has the Bait Fishing Spot option.

Each successful catch uses up one piece of bait, so bring an appropriate amount in your inventory if you wish to catch a lot of fish.

Fishing bait can also be used for barbarian fishing, replacing feathers as bait.

Most shops that sell fishing bait also sell bait packs which contain 100 bait per pack.
