If you’re fed up of not being able to catch some fish, you’ll need a Bait Bucket. Here’s how to craft Bait Buckets in LEGO Fortnite.

With the Gone Fishin’ update now available in Fortnite, players can finally craft a Fishing Rod to catch all kinds of fish to cook. While the process of cooking fish itself is pretty straightforward, the real challenge for players here is to actually catch the fish.

Generally, the Fishing Rod can get the job done in the game. However, if you’re looking to get some rarer fish, then a Bait Bucket is needed as it helps to increase your chances of catching one.

So, if you’ve been eyeing that Vendetta Flopper for a while, then it wouldn’t hurt to know how to craft Bait Buckets in LEGO Fortnite.

To get your first Common Bait Bucket in LEGO Fortnite, you’ll need to catch a fish and then process it into a Fish Fillet using the Food Processor. 

This means you’ll need to craft a Fishing Rod first in order to fish in the first place. Once you have the Common Bait Bucket, you’ll be able to craft higher-tier ones using the Juicer.

This spot should elevate your chances of catching rare fish, depending on your Fishing Rod’s rarity. For the best combo, you’d want to try using the Epic Bait Bucket and Epic Fishing Rod.
