Talk:Bait

How to Obtain?
Some baits obtaining are just simple, find the bug and catch it using bug net, but some other baits are not obvious (like Master Bait and Journeyman Bait), I suggest to place some kind of info on how to obtain the baits. FunAlways (talk) 02:53, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master Bait are obtained from the Angler for completing quests. But yeah, I guess, that should be put in there. Sodapone (talk) 03:16, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Bait Consumption
In the time I've been fishing since the update, I've noticed bait is not always consumed when you catch a fish, but can been when cating crates. It may just be a random chance per cast/catch that bait is lost. --96.42.19.109 17:46, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Trivia Section
I mentioned that the 'Master Bait' was most likely a play on words for the act of self stimulation, and it was removed by DoubleFloat for the following reason:

"No source for this. As the whole fishing mechanic is build around a child this reference seems rather unlikey."

I disagree, it would not be the first sexual innuendo this game has made, (see Golden Shower). This is a very old fishing joke, with many bait & tackle shops choosing to humorously name themselves this, which a quick Google search will prove. Also, most associative trivia on this wiki is speculation -- do you plan to remove every bit of trivia that does not have a source? If so, you are going to be very busy. As a side note, I am not the only one that has noticed this, Google 'Terraria Master Bait', and you will see quite a bit of buzz about it, including a video from major Terraria YouTuber, HERO.
 * I didn't know this phrase was that popular with the fishing community, so sorry for that. Although I still think the choice of using this phrase in connection with a child NPC was rather poor. --DoubleFloat (talk) 14:52, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * We don't know if the Angler is a child. He has a lot of fae-like attributes: arrogance, seemingly has no parents, speaks in lofty tones, seems to have ulterior motives, disappears in a puff of smoke instead of gibbing at death, etc. For all we know, he's a member of The Fair Folk who likes fish.
