why fishers cant have HQ baits?

We already miss out on stats from having an gig since 1.0, it'd be nice if they threw us a bone either with HQ bait, tacklebox (equips offhand), or both.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes on an Offhand Tacklebox.

I'm not sure how that would work though. Would the tacklebox have a sub-menu bag that the bait goes in so that bait is put in the Armoury Chest? Or would the tacklebox just add a small bag to our inventory? My guess is it would be easier to just add the extra bag and higher lvl Tackleboxes have more slots.

In 1.xx bait had stats. In ARR it doesn't. So HQ bait would be useless save for the crafter's EXP gain.

Maybe it doesn't come up often enough to merit the change but since some fish can only be caught at night, in rain, etc and some of those fish require HQ fish to Mooch with, it would be nice if we could save the HQ fish and use them as bait when the weather/time is right.
