Is the travelling merchant supposed to sell b***?

[Randolph Carter]

I've unlocked bait and different sources state you can buy some at the travelling merchant if you unlocked it.

i tried, but he has none in stock. not even after several ingame days

did this get patched or am i doing something wrong?

[PancorJackhammer]

are you looking at the correct spot?

the bait is in the menu where you buy rods, motors, etc. on the right menu section where you can buy explosives or upgrade parts.

Thank you for replying.

Yes I looked under the "miscellaneous" tab. But there are only research parts, steel and explosives for sale.

Verify the game file integrity, check that the airman can just make up bait whenever, move to a different part of the island chain, speak to the merchant directly instead of going straight to their shop screen, and see if that works.

You have to create some bait at the airman to get in the inventory

This was it! After creating some bait the merchant suddenly sells them too.
