At R22 I started fishing again after a long break, and when I took it back up, I purchased 99 Choco Flys, and 99 Flaoting Minnows. These were my only lures upto R40, and I still have `70 of each left.

IMO there is little use/need for more then one saltwater, and one freshwater type of bait/lure.

Baskets are now coming into play, but still that is only max, 4 types of items needed, to do any fishing leve and grind SP, at a whim.

If you choose to rape your inventory with more, then that would seem your personal choice.
