Is a fishing retainer worth it?

[aesteval]

I love my fishing retainer.

Many of the things that I want for various recipes do not have specific lures or anything that single out what I want and the bulk of what I catch isn't what I want or they are not HQ.

The fisher retainer allows you to single out what you want and they generally get a good few HQ. It is very nice.

Can they actually target anything useful for Stormblood fish? Saying I'm underwhelmed by the choices right now would be an understatement.
