The player has a 0.767% base chance to fish up 16xMinnow Bait when fishing in water. This can be doubled to yield 32xMinnow Bait with the BlessingEnchantment or when using Blessed Bait.
When on the Crimson Isle, this figure is raised to a 2.3438% chance but is further decreased on the Winter Island to 0.4839%.
Minnow Bait can be kept in either the player's inventory or Fishing Bag. When casting a Fishing Rod, a Minnow Bait will be consumed to grant +25☂ Fishing Speed. The effects last until the player reels in their rod.
