New World is set in a rather large environment where players will always find something to do that they can enjoy. There’s so much more to do than questing or dueling players, and you’ll realize that the game will slowly nudge you toward trying out different activities as you level up.
Fishing, for example, can be required for a quest or you may just need to pick it up just because you enjoy it in real life as well. While your fishing skills will come in handy, players will also have the option to upgrade their poles or try out different baits to increase their chances of catching certain fish.
If you know what type of fish you’re looking to catch, the following bait list may help you locate where you can pick the best bait.
