Fishing Bait & What Fish It Catches - Dark Cloud Guides
This page covers all of the Fishing Bait in Dark Cloud and what types of Fish you can catch with it. For more information about fishing in general you should check out my Dark Cloud Fishing Guide; that guide has more information about fishing than this page since this page solely covers bait.
In Dark Cloud there are a total of 13 items you can use as bait, however only 8 of those items are marked as bait ingame. The other 5 items that can be used as bait give no indication that they can be used for this purpose. Each of these 5 items are typically used to catch unique fish, such as the Poisonous Apple which is the only item in the game that can catch the Mardan Garayan fish.
Every item that you can use as bait in Dark Cloud is listed below along with details about what fish you can catch with it. Keep in mind that not every fish appears in every zone and the time of day also plays a role in what fish are available in the various places that you can fish.
Ultimately your choice of bait will come down to what sort of fish you want to catch. If you're just fishing to fish then I would recommend Prickly since that can be purchased from the Wise Owl Shop in Matataki Village and catches most fish available. Those of you looking for a unique fish will need to use a unique bait to catch it.
