Fish Bait — Detailed Guide
Bait for the fishing trap
Fish Bait is a resource from the Primitive Plus DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved. The in-game text sums it up in a few words: "Lure for the fishing trap." According to the ARK Wiki, it is used to catch fish in a Fishing trap. The in-game line and the wiki point to one and the same use: drawing fish into a trap.
Making Fish Bait
The recipe has a single ingredient: 1 Fresh Poultry turns into 1 Fish Bait. Our database puts the engram at level 11, and it costs 2 engram points. Each craft gives 0.1 XP.
Weight and stacking
A piece of bait weighs 0.1 and up to 100 fit in one stack, which puts a full stack at a weight of 10.
A known console problem
The ARK Wiki records a glitch on Xbox One: the Fish Trap does not recognise the Fresh Poultry that goes into the bait. The same problem is reported on PS4, where a test on version 1.67 found that it still did not work.
