I side with @jsholdschl on this. Specific fish hit specific baits in RL so the way the game handles it now is fine for me.
@Subsonic actually make a really strong point in that players would probably not like their high level bait to be used on low tier fish.
Ultimately I think @Rhapsody is correct in that we will probably see recipes based on the tier of the fish with the higher tier recipes giving greater benefits and thus justifying the work to craft specific bait (we still have an Ocean update so who knows what we might be able to fish up and cook).
I suppose if I was in the OPs position of 'the fish is not taking the bait' and I knew I had the right bait for the biome I would just move to a new fishing hole.
