Sadly I think this well-meant attempt to alleviate the "bait strain" missed the mark considerably. When reading about boilies during first announcements I got really excited and had hoped they might work like a menu, where you can select WHICH of the 238238 ARR baits you want to "use" at the location -- I simply couldn't imagine the devs would really do something as unspecific as what we got instead. Now I find myself wondering... has anyone involved in developing boilies ever really done any serious fishing? It certainly doesn't look like it, and as it is I think they border on useless, given any serious fisher will usually only go for specific fish and therefore needs to select bait accordingly.

Really a shame, given my saddlebag is by now almost entirely filled with bait... >.>
