Types of Bait

The types of bait that are available in Don’t Starve depend on which version of the game you are playing. The base game features three types of bait: Grub, Worm, and Frog Legs.

Grubs can be found by digging up grass tufts with a shovel or by opening up manholes with a pickaxe. Worms can be found by digging up dirt piles or leaf piles with a shovel. Frog Legs can be found by killing frogs with any weapon or tool.

In the Reign of Giants DLC, another type of bait called Silk Moth Casing is added to the game. This type of bait can only be found inside silk cocoons after they have been destroyed with a pickaxe or hammer.

Using Bait

Once you have attached your chosen bait to your fishing rod, it’s time to start fishing! Cast out your line into an ocean tile and wait for a bite; when this happens, quickly reel in your line and collect your catch! Note that different types of bait will attract different kinds of fish; thus, it’s important to experiment with different kinds of bait to get the best results when fishing.
