Bait item

If you were looking for the bait used in Ice Fishing and Aqua Grabber, see Worm

Bait items are items that cannot be obtained through playing normally, but can be obtained through cheating programs (which have now been shut down). The aim of a bait item is to trick the cheater into getting the item (and taking advantage of it further if they wish). Once the item is in the inventory, the cheater is banned for at least 72 hours, hence the name "bait item".

Trainers which have a feature to perm items usually have a "bait list" programmed into them to stop players being banned from bait items. Furthermore, most cheaters are aware of bait items and can easily be identified as items that Club Penguin have never announced or talked about even, and they are usually bizarre or out-of-universe items.

Trivia

• If a bait item is obtained client side, the item will not be on the penguin unless it belongs to a special penguin, though all (except Yarr, Gray, and the items that make the player card penguin pose, like Rockhopper's hat) will not show up on the player card (example: Cadence's shoes.)
• Despite being a red puffle, if you cheat to get Yarr client-side and play Catchin' Waves, he will NOT show up.
• The only known bait item you can take into a game is gray (via client-side cheating), because it is a color.
• All the EPF items from the Elite Gear are bait items if permed.
