The Big One Bait Depleted Guide: Switch While Fishing, Restock in the Shop

The Big One is a casual fishing RPG built around casting, waiting, hooking, reeling, equipment progression, 150+ fish species, 10 fishing locations, and Fishpedia collection. One bait is consumed per fishing attempt, so a depleted message is a preparation signal rather than a crash.
How do I keep fishing when the game says there is no bait?
Use Change Bait on the fishing screen if another bait remains. If none is available, leave fishing, restock a basic bait from the Shop, equip it in Equipment, and return. Confirm the equipped badge and make sure the count decreases by one after each cast.
