Bait is a very useful and necessary item to catch fish in Stardew Valley. Since there are different types of bait, players want to get their hands on the best bait to progress. The Challenge Bait in Stardew Valley 1.6 is a useful bait that you can craft that helps you catch three fish at once. This is very convenient instead of waiting a long time to catch multiple fish.

The Challenge Bait is quite useful, almost like the Wild Bait and luckily players can easily craft this bait. However, normal Rods will not work with this one and you will have to use Fiberglass Rod, Iridium Rod or Advanced Iridium Rod. Although there is a chance that you can get the bait from Golden Fishing Treasure Chests, it is more feasible and easy to craft.

Players will need the Fishing Mastery totem as well as the recipe to craft Challenge Bait in Stardew Valley 1.6. Once they have the recipe, they will need to collect the following items to get the bait.

Each vessel produces 5 baits for players to use. According to the game description, a “perfect” catch will yield three times as many fish. However, each time a fish escapes the “fish bar,” the catch is reduced. The Challenge Bait reduces the delay for a nibble on a fishing rod by 62.5%. So once you have the bait, attach it to the rod and you’re ready to go fishing.
