Nope, let's sacrifice an oft requested QoL feature on the altar of generating more Retainer rents.
a problem with that is, not everyone fishes. some people fish just to level it up then never fish again. so this extra bait storage does nothing at all for them.

while "special" bait storage would be nice, the bigger picture is that if it doesnt benefit everyone, it is unlikely to be implemented.

people in general always request more storage instead of house cleaning, because it means they can be lazy, and not go through everything. I would say a majority of people could clear up at least 30% of their inventory by just getting rid of things they no longer use. recently went through mine and found several stacks of low level food which had been sitting on a tab since I started playing. I am never going to use 178 HQ Orange juice again. time to sell things like that instead of holding on to them. makes some gil and clears a slot. win win. and far faster than waiting for more inventory space.
