Welcome back, my otakus to one of your favourite spots My Otaku World.
If you are here reading my blog, you’re a fan of the great outdoors in Sims 4, the fishing bait is a perfect way to enjoy the fresh air.
Fishing requires a good fishing spot that is available in a wide range across the world, and there are various kinds of fish to catch.
You have to use your brains to select the perfect bait for your desired fish to get trapped.
From selecting the perfect bait to discovering the most difficult catches in the base game to releasing endangered species and using the fishing skills in the Sims 4, gives an enjoyable and exciting time pass with valuable collectible rewards.
I know that choosing which bait would be most effective to trap a fish can be challenging.
Many guides give you plenty of information about the fish but unfortunately, my dear otakus, no one or very few offer a detailed analysis of the most effective bait to use.
I’m here to tell you which plants, fish, and frogs are most effective as bait to catch a fish that will require bait to attract the fish you want to trap.
So, my dear readers, here we are, and today we will be discussing the top 8 best baits and their specific uses.
Here are some of the best Sims 4 Fish Bait
8. Guppy
There are three different types of bait available: plants, frogs, and fish. Smaller fish, in particular, can be quite helpful when trying to catch the elusive red-tailed black shark. Among them, the guppy is the easiest to find and use as bait.
Guppies can often be found in Oasis Springs at the park’s pond, and they are quite easy to locate. This bait is versatile and can be used to attract a variety of fish, making it a great choice for any angler.
Having a larger stack of guppy bait can greatly improve your efficiency when it comes to catching fish. With the help of guppies as bait, my sim quickly reeled in more than three top-notch fish.
The things that I find great about this bait are:
- They are easy to capture
- It is a very common small fish
- Easily found in the ponds in Oasis Springs and Willow Creek Parks
7. Catfish
Living as a catfish means being caught with bait, only to become bait yourself. This fish bait is incredibly effective for catching piranhas and anglerfish, and it’s also quite delicious to eat.
Discovering Catfish in rivers is made easier by using plants as bait to lure them in. Using this bait, you can attract a variety of fish, not just the ones that prey on others.
For optimal results when fishing for your next big catch, it’s important to use fresh catfish. The effectiveness of using fish as bait is greatly influenced by its freshness.
Some nice things about catfish are:
- They are very useful in catching other fishes like Piranha and Anglerfish
- Catfish are simple to trap using plant bait.
6. Dirty Frogs
Famous for its delightful sense of humor, one of the most effective baits to use is the Dirt Frog. In Forgotten Grotto, frogs are commonly used to catch the Wolf Eel.
In Sims 4, catching fish can be a bit unpredictable, even when using bait. The efficiency of fishing can vary from game to game. The Dirt Frog is a fantastic bait with numerous qualities that make it stand out among others when it comes to fishing.
In addition to being an excellent bait option, the Dirt Frog is readily available and can be easily found whenever you search for frogs. You can also breed them with other frogs or with the same kind to maintain a steady supply of bait.
- The good qualities of this bait are:
- It’s the simplest option to trap the Wolf Eel.
- To get more frogs, they can breed.
5. Koi
The Piranha enjoys a delicious meal. Koi is a popular fish that is great for catching Piranhas.
Discover Koi swimming in the beautiful parks of the base game, where you can conveniently utilise them as bait. I’ve caught quite a few Koi fish in Willow Creek’s pond.
Having a stack of Koi readily available makes it easy to efficiently catch a large number of fish. Be cautious, as piranhas have a strong appetite for fish like the Koi.
I like Koi as bait because:
- These Koi can be located in base-game worlds.
- These are an easy and simple option as bait to catch piranhas.
4. Bullseye Frog
Wolf Eels can be caught using different types of frog bait, but the Bullseye Frog is particularly effective due to its rarity. Maybe the reason why fish are drawn to it is because it has a noticeable target on its back.
Finding this frog may require a bit of effort, but you can breed other frogs to expand your collection beyond just one. If you’re looking for a highly effective bait that goes beyond just catching Wolf Eels, you’ve stumbled upon one of the finest frogs available.
As long as you make sure to keep the little one away from bows and arrows, everything will be just fine. Frogs are highly effective bait because they can reproduce easily.
Some nice things about this bullseye frog are:
- These are very rare and are one-of-a-kind yet quick to locate.
- It can easily breed with other frogs to produce more frogs.
- It helps in trapping wolf eels.
3. Apple
Using plant bait can be a great way to increase your chances of catching more fish, including catfish. In fact, incorporating plants and fruit into your bait can be even more effective than using just one type of bait. Apples are a popular choice for fishing enthusiasts looking for effective plant baits.
By utilising higher quality plants, you can enhance the calibre of fish you catch when using them as bait. In my opinion, being efficient allows you to have multiple baits in your inventory.
Apples are commonly found in the basic seed packets when starting a garden, making them a popular choice for bait. With a generous supply of apples in your sim’s inventory, you’ll have plenty of bait for fishing.
Positive aspects of this apple are:
- We can easily use this to graft on other plants to produce variety of other plants.
- It can be produced using seeds.
- It is easily available to be used.
2. Leaf Frog
The Leaf Frog is quite skilled at blending in, making it a great choice for luring in the Wolf Eel and other fish. The Leaf Frog, just like the Dirt Frog, is easy to find and breed for bait.
This frog is a common frog that can be found easily in various locations where frogs are typically found. Using it as bait can help you catch more fish in less time.
Sims have various needs that require attention, and when your sim is engaged in fishing, it’s important to be efficient. Remember that frogs have a lot more to offer than just being collectibles.
Some advantages of using a leaf frog:
- Wolf eel is easy to trap using a leaf frog.
- They produce more frogs by breeding.
- They are very easy to capture.
1. Betta
Prepare yourself for an exciting adventure as you go fishing for a wide variety of fish in different locations. Betta fish are typically known for their aggressive nature in real life. In the Sims 4, they are not commonly found.
I’ve been having a great time finding lots of unique Betta fish in my game, specifically in the pond at Willow Creek’s park. They are highly effective as bait in-game, showcasing remarkable efficiency.
Like other small fish, Bettas can be useful in catching Red-Tailed Black Sharks. In addition, they have the ability to apprehend you more effectively.
Some benefits of Betta:
- Rare fishes can be caught using betta
- It is very easy to find.
