Some bait is useless (don’t waste time using cooked AND spoiled foods. I don’t have code access, but since fishing hooks and baiting were implemented: I don’t think any of my characters have ever caught a fish with that type of bait. Spoiled raw meat or fish, yes. Cooked, unspoiled meat and fish: yes. Raw vegetables: yes. Fresh bread: yes. Mushrooms: no. Berries: close to none, less than bare hook I feel like.

I've been using
your mod to craft/cut baits, Finn, ever since the change to the fishing mechanic.
I'd say I've been having various degrees of success with the baits - needs more testing. Even tried to use the cut
fish baits to trap
Lynxes, but no luck so far.. Not sure whether it's because those darn cats simply don't like raw fish, or because of something else..
Curiously, once I accidentally eat one of the cut bait.. and my character just gobbled it down, noting that it's 'Delicious!!!', as though it's some sort of sushi..
PS mod to cook bait is
here, in case you already forgot about your own mod. Need a little bit of re-work to make it work with the latest version, but it's working as intended.
