How to get Old Fisher or Dockhand Maren — 5 Squid Bait for 10 Tuna (raw or cooked), or 1 Gold per 100

Squid Bait is the fifth tier of Fishing bait, required to catch Swordfish in The Deep — the raft-only water at The Shores. It's traded up from Tuna, the fish caught with the previous bait tier. The next rung up is Reef Jig, traded for Swordfish.

How to get

Note: Raw and cooked Tuna both count toward the trade, and raw is spent first so your cooked food survives as long as possible. Bait is only consumed on a successful catch, never on an empty cast. Only fish in your inventory or hotbar count toward a trade — banked fish don't — and bait has to be carried to be used.
