Equipping bait in Stardew Valley allows players to increase their chances of catching fish. To equip bait, players must first obtain bait from various sources such as purchasing it from Willy’s Fish Shop, crafting it using the Recycling Machine, or finding it in treasure chests. Once players have obtained bait, they can equip it by selecting the bait item from their inventory and then selecting the “Equip” option. Players can check if bait is equipped by looking at the small icon next to the fishing rod icon in the user interface.
Equipping bait provides several benefits to players. First, it increases the chances of catching fish, making it easier to complete fishing quests and earn money. Second, bait can attract specific types of fish, allowing players to target certain species. Third, bait can increase the size of the fish caught, resulting in more valuable fish and rewards.
