Insect Ball

Omni: yes, you can still catch junk no matter what bait you are using. But it's 100% in the sense that moat carp is the only _fish_ that will bite on this, in Knightwell.

If you practice, you can tell the difference between a carp and junk on your line too - the carp pulls back and forth more rapidly, and its stamina depletes more slowly than the junk. Hope that helps.

Best thing to skill up on! Standard merchants (Rubahah, Dwago, Gavrie) in Whitegate provide a 64g cost per synth. Each stack NPCs for 60g. Nice!

@Besho: while you wont lose the bait when reeling in the junk, it will count towards your daily fishing cap. So if you are planning on catching the full 200 moat carps possible each day one should rather release the junk. If one is crazy enough to fish up 200 moat carps a day anyway o.O

You can get these for as low as 30 gil each (360 per stack) from Babubu in Port Windurst on good days.

If it is junk, just pull it up and then drop it. If you do that, you won't lose your bait.

A Cook's bread and butter. (Well not literally) Impossible to HQ on, so as soon as you can make them comfortably start cranking them out. Profit margin is incredible and they sell vaguely quickly too.

In addition to Babubu at the fishing guild in Port windurst, Toji Mumosulah at (I-8) in Kazham sells these for 36~41 gil each.
