You can add bait to a fishing rod in Stardew Valley by first making sure you've got the Fiberglass Rod or better since the basic Bamboo Pole won't do the trick. Open your inventory, pick up the bait with a cursor, and then right-click on the rod. Voilà! You're all set to catch some fish.

Just drag and drop, friend. But remember, it only works if your rod isn't the basic one. Got to upgrade first!

Honestly, just keep the basic rod. All this bait fuss is too much work for little gain.

Pro tip: If you're playing on mobile, tapping the bait and then the rod does the job. It's a bit fiddly, but you'll get the hang of it. Gotta get that iridium rod though for the best results!

Simple. You need a rod that supports bait (that's not the starter one). Then, click the bait in your inventory, hover over your rod, and right-click or use the corresponding gamepad button. Fish won't know what hit 'em!
