Big Fish and you: What bait is needed when to land the big one

[BobbinT]

lol. not planning to purchase extra retainers.

This might be quite a dilemma though. I just hope SE doesn't implements something like aquarium. lol

EDIT:
Oh crap! Desynth... ><

[Nukocafe]

I've been hanging on to all of my single- and double-star fish, anticipating the possibility that SE might make them useful someday. And, apparently, when SE adds Desynthesis to the game, some fish will be desynthable, so that day may come sooner than later.

lol. not planning to purchase extra retainers.

And this is exactly why I gave in and got my 3rd retainer. Literally, 60% of that retainer is just fish and lures/bait lol. My retainer is basically the long awaited tackle box we'll probably never get (´・ω・`)

Gods, I'm dying for a tacklebox. All I can hope is that "fish desynthing" is the return of fish --> shards that most of us 1.0ers probably want.

So far I kept all my capital fish (minus the two I had to return for the quest) hoping that with the next patch, there will be new quests which I can either complete directly or at least make some money by selling the fish I already have. But desynthesis could be another way to go..depends what will come out of these 2 star beasts.
