In Genshin Impact, Fruit Paste Bait attracts all types of Medakas, Dawncatchers, and Crystalfish.

Currently, Medakas are the most useful of these fish when it comes to shopping at the Fishing Associations. Players need to collect the standard Medakas to buy bait recipes. Moreover, both the standard Medakas and some variations are needed to purchase each region’s unique fishing rod.

Redrot Bait attracts a wide variety of fish in Genshin Impact. For now, this includes Akai Maou, Snowstriders, Venomspine Fish, Bettas and Lunged Sticklebacks.

Players need to catch a good handful of some of these fish to get the Fishing Association’s rods. 20 Venomspine Fish are needed to buy Windtangler, 20 Bettas for Wishmaker, and 20 Lunged Sticklebacks for Narukawa Ukai.

These aren’t the only fish needed to purchase these rods. In fact, each rod costs a total of 80 fish, making it a slow process to collect all of them.

How to make baits in Genshin Impact

In Genshin Impact, players can purchase three bait recipes from the Mondstadt Fishing Association. Each recipe costs just three Medaka. After buying the recipes, players can make any of the four baits at a crafting bench.

Each bait has a different recipe, as listed below:

• 1 Wheat + 1 Sunsettia = 10 Fruit Paste Bait
• 1 Fowl + 1 Dendrobium = 10 Redrot Bait
• 1 Slime Condensate + 1 Berry = 10 False Worm Bait
• 1 Horsetail + 1 Sakura Bloom = 10 Fake Fly Bait

The Fishing Association’s rewards require plenty of fish. Therefore, players can benefit from having a good stockpile of bait. The Fishing Association’s store might expand in future updates, so players should be ready to fish for any new rewards.
