Bait is a unique item inStardew Valleythat can speed up the process it takes for fish to bite the hook of your fishing rod; however, it’s not exactly clear how to put the bait on a fishing rod.
How to put bait on the fishing rod in Stardew Valley
In short, to put bait on a fishing rod, you will need to get either a fiberglass or iridium rod; this is because the starting fishing rod, the bamboo rod, does not have a equip slot for bait. Once you have a proper fishing rod, you can then put bait on the fishing rod by left-clicking the bait stack and then right-clicking the fishing rod.
As a side note, if you are wondering how to equip bait, chances are you are new to the game; for that reason, we recommend getting the fiberglass rod as an upgrade to the bamboo rod. You can get the fiberglass rod when you get tolevel two in fishing.
