Getting to know the bait names and what fish are associated with it is only the half of the story in Genshin Impact. You also have to know where and how you can acquire these baits.
Firstly, you need to collect the correct elements for a specific bait and then go to the proper location to craft it. For example, combining 1x Wheat and Sunsettia in the Monstadt area at Timaeus’s Alchemy Shop will allow you to have 10x Fruit Paste Bait.
Now, to unlock more baits and craft them, blueprints are required. But how do you get them?
Nantuck of the Fishing Association in the Mondstadt area is your guy. He sells one blueprint for 3x Meduka fish. Once, blueprints are unlocked, you are eligible to craft every sort of bait in Genshin Impact.
So, pause a moment and take a quick look at how you can get every bait.

How to Use Fishing Baits in Genshin Impact
Using a fishing bait in Genshin Impact is child’s play. Pair the bait with a fishing rod and throw the fishing hook in the water. Wait until a fish takes the bait. At the right moment, when the screen shows an indication with a “You’ve got a bite!” message, pull it away from the water, and you’ll obtain a fish easily. 
See, it’s important to couple the baits with the correct fishing rods in the exact location for a targeted fish. For instance, to catch a Lunged Stickleback, attach Redrot Bait with Narukawa Ukai in the Inazuma region.
Once you do everything properly, your use of bait will result in a captured fish in no time!
