Heavyweight Fishing is a Roblox game about casting a rod and reeling in fish. Bait is the item you use to change what your line is likely to catch, and it comes in two groups with different jobs. Knowing what each group does helps you spend your Cash well early on and plan for the strongest rods later.

How Luck Bait Improves Your Catches
Luck bait raises your Luck stat, and a higher Luck stat makes rarer fish more likely to show up. Each tier costs more Cash than the one before it and gives a bigger boost, so compare the Luck boost with the Cash you can spare. Ba Chang, the Bait Seller on the Beginning Isle, sells all of the luck bait.
How Summon Bait Brings Up Rare Fish
Summon bait works by calling its matching fish up on demand. Those fish are also ingredients for some of the strongest rods in the game, so summon bait matters for more than catching.
Which Bait to Get First
Early on, luck bait is the better buy, since a stronger Luck stat helps you catch rarer fish from the start. Step up to the next tier whenever you can afford it without delaying your next rod. Once you're aiming for the top rods, summon bait becomes the one to plan around, because those rods need the fish it calls up.
