How do you get the bait?
Available in the opening Lighthouse setup; confirm the current shop inventory.
Prerequisites
Reach the documented lure tier; an island name can reflect unlock order rather than a strict catch location.
Fight or catch method
Equip Crab Fishing Rod with Free Lure. Regular lure pools are random.
After the kill
Defeat it so the normal entry registers; keep fishing with the same setup for its Drip variant.
Do not sell check
No documented main-story lock; still inspect unusual drops before selling.
Collection and evidence
Track Normal and Drip separately in the Fishipedia checklist. Mobalytics lists Brown Crab with Free Lure while another current table repeats Rock Crab. Exact Fishipedia naming needs an in-game capture. No exact drop odds or resale amount are claimed.
