What is your best bait for fishing ?

[Reskal]

The one that is easy to make and offers good results i found for me is processed meat.
You make it from meaty chunks and some other sorts of hunted meat and from mordite too, making meat flakes, then meat chunks and then processed meat.
Its bait stats are:

- catch rarity improvement: 40%
- catch size improvement 16%

Feel free to list your favorite baits !

i always use the previous worthless catch as a bait

The next patch will correct all the cooked food - the fix is already in Experimental.

Whatever will go on the hook that's in my inventory. Salt was good for a bit.

mixing 2 abysal eyes on the food processor makes a really good bait, try it!

I was using Chromatic Metal for most of the expedition [17% rarity, 8% size].
For the 5th fishing hole I had Spicy Chum [54% rarity, 2% size], Mordite and Oxygen farms where up and running.
... then I stopped.

Depends if you want a trait or not, but here's a few:

• Fishy Slab - Rarity +29%, Size +56%, Storm-Loving (cook Stonescale Shark)
  
• Salty Platter - Rarity +53%, Size +39%, Nocturnal (cook any 3 fish)
  
• Purged Ribs - Rarity +21%, Size +56%, Nocturnal (cook Rancid Flesh from Horrors)
  
• Snail Fillet - Rarity +24%, Size +36%, Diurnal (cook Beach Crawler/Ash Snail)
  
• Whole Roast Fish - Rarity +44%, Size +27%. (cook Polyscale Bloater)

The fish I mentioned are all commons... but they can be made with rarer fish too (obviously the horrors aren't fish)
