Doing Angler quests for a living is hard work, and eventually I'd say you've earned your peace: no more bait management needed.
On your 25th quest completed, he'll give you this:
Golden Fishing Line
Accessory
Prevents all bait consumption
This is essentially a way to cut down on meaningless management tasks as you get further into the game.
An alternate solution, if you want it, would be a certain piece of bait that's never consumed, but has a low fishing power - say, 10%. That would serve to make bait management a thing you could do, but I really feel like it's not such a powerful thing to have infinite bait.
