Worm
A Worm is a Fishing item used as Bait to attract different Fish.
Description
“ | A regular earth worm. Attach to your fishing rod to attract different fish. | ” |
–In-Game Item Description |
Worms can be attached to your Fishing Rod by right clicking and selecting them from the list. One worm is consumed per fish hooked, and that fish is guaranteed to be one that requires worms in order to be caught. The worm is not consumed if a fish bites but is not reeled in, or if the line is reeled in before a fish bites.
They are a weaker version of the Glow Worm.
Source
Worms can be obtained from Zeki's General Store for 50 gold for 5 worms, or they can be produced by the Worm Farm Crafter using various Crops and Foods.
Worm Farm Recipes
Strategy
While bait costs 10 to purchase, nearly all fish that require worms are worth at least 10 than fish of the same rarity that don't require bait, meaning that it is cost-effective to purchase bait when fishing to make money.
Because bait is not consumed immediately when a fish bites, you can increase the value of each worm by selecting which fish you catch: When a fish bites, it will leap out of the water for a moment. If you see that it is a common fish, you can simply wait for it to escape, and reel your rod in empty. This will allow a chance for a more valuable fish to be caught next time. (Note that you must reel in the rod after the fish escapes to reset the fish. If you leave the bobber in the water, the same fish will bite over and over again)
Once you have the Worm Farm unlocked, it is even more cost effective to produce worms that way, as long as you have the items from other sources, such as Gardening.
