The Deluxe Worm Bin is the upgraded version of the Worm Bin. Instead of plain Bait, it fills up with Deluxe Bait every morning. The worms look after themselves, so the bin needs no feeding, fuel or ingredients once it is placed. Crafting one takes an ordinary Worm Bin and a pile of Moss. For anyone who fishes often or runs a line of Crab Pots, a few of these bins keep the tackle box full for free.
Recipe
The recipe unlocks at Fishing level 8. The basic Worm Bin comes much earlier, at Fishing level 4. Combining one finished Worm Bin with thirty pieces of Moss makes the Deluxe Worm Bin. The old bin is used up in the process, so upgrading does not leave a spare.
Moss grows on mature Oak, Maple and Pine trees in Spring, Summer and Fall. Swinging a Scythe or any other tool at a mossy tree knocks loose a piece or two without felling it. The Green Rain in Summer covers almost every grown tree on the farm in moss at once. A single Green Rain day can supply enough Moss for several bins.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
The bin works on its own. Each morning it holds a fresh batch of four or five Deluxe Bait, ready to be collected with a click.
Deluxe Bait is a clear step up from regular Bait. On a rod, it shortens the wait before a fish nibbles by about two thirds, where plain Bait manages half. In a Crab Pot, it lowers the odds of pulling up trash. It also raises the quality of Crab Pot catches to silver.
Bait only works on the Fiberglass Rod, the Iridium Rod and the Advanced Iridium Rod. The Bamboo Pole and the Training Rod cannot hold it. To load it, pick up the bait in the inventory and drop it onto the rod. Each cast uses one piece.
Notes
Several bins set side by side build up a steady stock of bait. Collecting them on days spent away from the water means a full supply is waiting for long fishing trips and Crab Pot rounds.
Crafting Deluxe Bait by hand takes five plain Bait and two Moss for every piece. The bin skips that cost entirely. Thirty Moss would only craft fifteen Deluxe Bait, and the bin turns out that much in about three mornings.
Willy's Fish Shop also sells Deluxe Bait. Making it at home saves that money and a trip to the beach.
