Jolly Bait Crate

Jolly Bait Crate is a winter oddity: a crate of bait that swims, caught in Northstar Castle with Magnet during Winter in Clear weather. The game jokes that bait catching itself is cheating. It is tagged Limited, yet the data lists it as obtainable, so check the event window before you plan around it.

Every crate weighs exactly 8 kg, with no variation between minimum, average and maximum. Each sells for C$500, which ranks 390th of the 742 documented fish by average value, and gives 130 base XP. The price per kg is C$62.50. The fixed weight ranks 493rd of 663, so do not expect a heavy surprise.

The zone also holds Merry Manta Ray, Northstar Whale and Santa Whale Shark in the same rarity, and those are the bigger event catches. The crate is the simple, predictable one: always the same size, always the same payout. That makes it useful for planning, since you know exactly what a stack of them is worth. It will not make you rich, but if you are already fishing Northstar Castle, selling the crates keeps a steady C$500 coming in.
