Deluxe Bait is used to reduce the delay before a nibble on a fishing rod by 67%.[1] It also increases the fishing bar size by 12 pixels.[2] Deluxe Bait can be purchased at the Fish Shop after reaching Fishing level 4 for 100g each, crafted, randomly found in Fishing Treasure Chests after reaching Fishing level 6, or grown in a Deluxe Worm Bin.
Thirty Deluxe Bait are the reward for completing the 
River Fish Bundle in the Fish Tank. The Bookseller trades 30 Deluxe Bait for 1 Bait And Bobber. Twenty Deluxe Bait can be rewarded as a prize during the Trout Derby festival. Twenty Deluxe Bait is the copper tier reward on the 12th for the SquidFest festival.
Deluxe Bait cannot be used with the Training Rod or the Bamboo Pole. Only the Fiberglass Rod, the Iridium Rod, and the Advanced Iridium Rod can use bait.
Deluxe Bait can also be used in a Crab Pot, where it decreases the chance of catching trash (if the player does not have the Mariner profession) compared to using standard bait and increases the quality of Crab Pot fish to silver.[3]
Use
Requires: 
Fiberglass Rod, 
Iridium Rod, or

right-click, depending on how many bait will be used), and then on the rod. To remove bait, on the rod.
On an Xbox controller, press 
on the bait to select the whole stack (or 
to pick up a single one), then to attach to the rod.

For the mobile version, bait can be added to the fishing rod by opening the inventory, then dragging the bait and dropping it on top of the rod. Bait cannot be conventionally removed on mobile but one type of bait may be switched out for another, which will move the bait previously on the rod back to the inventory.
