A while ago I posted a concept for more rods (check it out here: More Fishing Rod Concepts) but I just realized I forgot about baits. So here are a few I came up with (will add more as I think of them):
PRE-HM:
Spider Egg (15%) increased power in spider caves. Can also be used as a pet, Rarely dropped by spiders? (edit: apparently this already exists lol)
Party Bait (30%) increased power during a party. Purchased from the party girl during a party. An expensive but purchasable alternative to the journeyman bait.
Blood Worm (30%) found rarely during blood moons. Increased chance of fishing up enemies during blood moons, and a small chance to fish a blood moon enemy at night even outside of blood moons!
HARDMODE:
Rubber Worm/Infinite Can of Worms? (10%) weak but cannot be consumed. This would basically be the infinite ammo item for fishing. Awarded after 50 fishing quests.
Lava Bait (40%) not as good as master bait, but bonus fishing power in lava. Found in hellstone crates?
Duke's Fishbait (60%) rarely awarded by the angler from fishing quests after you have defeated Duke Fishron at least once. Increased fishing power in oceans?
Lihzahrdian Bait (75%) crafted 2 at a time from 2 master bait and a beetle husk (which gives late game players a reason to return to the temple)
And of course, mushroom/lava critters should give a bonus in their respective biome as outlined in my post here: Better Biome/Critter Fishing
