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

Tuna Bait is the fourth of Kintara's five tiers of Fishing bait, required to catch Tuna at The Shores (north of the buoys). It's traded up from Bass, the fish caught with the previous bait tier. One rung sits above it: Squid Bait, the bait for Swordfish, traded up from Tuna the same way.

How to get

Method	Cost	Where
Trade	10 Bass (raw or cooked) → 5 Tuna Bait	Old Fisher (The Pond) or Dockhand Maren (The Shores)
Buy	1 Gold per 100	Either Fishing NPC

Note: Raw and cooked Bass 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.
