It tells me it's not suitable for use as bait when I select it with the rod power. Same for the high class bait. I was using the Expensive Rod. It reported nothing in my inventory was useable as bait.
Likewise.
I was using the cheaper rod, with the cheaper bait, but basically the same thing. I think a little OOC usage might be in order here(I did a search for "fishing" on the forums and couldn't find any) because you could use anything for bait technically, but I'm sure you can't. I think it'd be nice OOC to know what exactly could be used for bait
I forgot all about stores erasing variables. This should be fixed for the future.
