One fish in particular
Preferred Luck only counts for the fish that prefer the bait.
Use a bait the fish prefers. Truffle Worm, for example, gives +300% Preferred Luck to the 54 fish that prefer it. The Fisch Catch Calculator shows the preferred baits of every fish, and the Truffle Worm guide covers every way to get one.
Codes from Fisch merchandise. 11 baits only come from codes that ship with Fisch toys and other goods sold in US stores, redeemed in the game's Code box; you cannot get them by playing. Some beat the picks above, such as Corvid Algae (+350% Universal Luck) and Astrolure (+90% Lure Speed).

C$ a bait is the crate price divided by the bait's chance and the 4 baits a crate gives on average, the same estimate the Fisch Wiki uses for its bait price table; only crates you can still buy with C$ are counted.
How Bait Works
Stats. Preferred Luck adds Luck only for the fish that list the bait as preferred. Universal Luck adds Luck for every fish while the bait is equipped, much like a rod's Luck. Lure Speed changes how long you wait for a bite, and Resilience changes how hard the fish pulls in the reeling minigame. A few baits also have Disturbance, which makes some local events turn up more often, or an ability such as a mutation chance.
Using it up. Each fish you land costs one bait; a failed shake minigame does not. Crab Cages take bait too, and a cage that caught nothing gives it back.
Keeping it. The Angler's Glove (+50%), the Resourceful Rod (+60%) and the Scrapper enchantment (+60%) each give a chance to keep the bait, and the Halibut Harpoon adds a little more; the Leprechaun Line lowers it (-200%). The chances add up, but above 60% the gain shrinks: a total of t% works out to t - t²/400.
Stronger bait. Bait Effectiveness multiplies every bait stat. The Resourceful Rod adds 100%, the Scrapper enchantment 25% and the Angler's Glove 10%, so the Resourceful Rod with Scrapper makes bait 2.25 times as strong. The Leprechaun Line takes 90% away.
Bait FAQ
What is the best bait in Fisch?
It depends on what you need. For more Luck on every fish, Golden Coin has the most Universal Luck (+300%). For quicker bites, Taco has the highest Lure Speed (+100%), and for an easier reeling bar Singularity has the most Resilience (+150%). If you are after one fish, use a bait it prefers: Preferred Luck only counts for those fish, and the Fisch Calculator lists them for every fish.
What is the difference between Preferred Luck and Universal Luck?
Preferred Luck only raises your Luck for the fish that prefer that bait. Universal Luck raises it for every fish you can catch while the bait is on, the way a rod's Luck does.
How do you get bait in Fisch?
Mostly from crates (Bait Crate, Quality Bait Crate, Tropical Bait Crate, Coral and Volcanic Geodes, tackle boxes), from the Bait Dealer and the weekend Black Market, from Sunken and Treasure Chests, quests, codes and Bait Catching at the Lost Jungle. A few only come from codes that ship with Fisch merchandise sold in US stores. Of the 121 baits, 90 can still be had; the rest can no longer be obtained.
Does bait get used up?
Yes, one bait per fish you catch, but not when you fail the shake minigame. Crab Cages also use bait, and you get it back from a cage that caught nothing. The Angler's Glove, the Resourceful Rod and the Scrapper enchantment give a chance to keep the bait.
