PLEASE.. for the love of The Twelve, give us a TACKLE BOX/BAG! PLEASE?

These fishing lures are such an archaic system. It would be easier for them to make types of fish, and 3 different baits. For example: Bait for large, medium and small fish. Then just fit each fish on each bait.
The idea of having a separate inventory for baits is a good one, but the company is too lazy to do that, they can't even increase their inventory with each expansion.

There's no "large medium small" fish. Only normal fish and large (perception/patience).

The saddlebag functionally has nothing to do with your chocobo; it was just a cute label to stick on an additional inventory that you can't access in dungeons. You can access it in towns though, even though your chocobo can't go there.

It is definitely helpful to have your chocobo summoned while you're out in the field, particularly if you're fighting things at your own level or doing FATEs.

You actually almost always have access to your saddlebag at all times even if you have your chocobo out or not. You just cant access it during dungeons or other instanced content. Its pretty much an extra inventory box for you.

If you're fishing just to spend time reeling in random fish, sell all your bait and just buy Versatile Lures.

If you're fishing for something specific, trash anything you can't just easily buy again.

If you're fishing to fill out your log, after clearing an expansion, you don't truly need any of that old bait; newer fish from newer expansions will require newer bait.



As someone clearing out big fishing (just finished up HW), I can tell you from experience that you really don't need to be holding on to very much bait at any given time. Being generous, I doubt you need more than a dozen inventory slots dedicated to fishing bait if you'd narrow your focus down. And that's including the 3 baits for Ocean Fishing.

I totally understand where you are coming from and have thought about it. But sometimes, I just want to fish as I come upon a "zen fishing moment." And like you and others have noted, there's the versatile lure. But man, it rubs me wrong every time someone says just use versatile lure. I get it though. I honestly like the idea of the different baits for different fish. I just think if they are going to have that layer of complexity (not just 3-4 baits) then they should have some kind of tackle bag with a limited number of spaces, maybe 30 or so. I'm not looking for a solution to hold every single type of bait out there.

Bait variety is for targeting specific fish. And, quite frankly, most of them don't even need to be "targeted." You've got the ones that will trigger an Intuition, most of which will all favor the same small handful of baits per expansion. And you've got ones you need for mooching, which is much lower priority and, outside of Intuition mooching, can just as easily be done with a Versatile Lure.

I'm telling you. As someone going back through and filling out the Fishing Log for each expansion, you really, really, really do not need to hold onto nearly as much bait as you think. Once you've caught every ARR fish, you're good to throw out 90% of ARR bait. I've cleared up through HW, and, near as I can tell, I will literally not need anything I've used prior to target anything worthwhile in StB.

If you're actually serious about catching fish, you really don't need as much bait as you think. And if you're not serious about catching fish, what's even the point of having all that bait anyway? Grab something that will catch anything and just cast your cares away.

Bait should just be turned into skills instead of items, like ranged ammo were items long ago
