Bait is an essential item in Stardew Valley, as it allows players to catch fish. To put bait on a fishing rod, players must first equip the bait from their inventory. Once the bait is equipped, players can then cast their line into the water. The bait will attract fish to the hook, making it more likely for players to catch a fish.
There are many different types of bait available in Stardew Valley, each with its own unique benefits. Some bait is more effective for catching certain types of fish, while other bait can be used to increase the chances of catching a rare fish. Players can experiment with different types of bait to find the ones that work best for them.
