    Sadly, this topic keeps coming up. For me it isn't the space issue. It's how terrible bait and lure management feels. They don't really tell you what fish or zones they got with even if you manage to discover that on your own. They don't really highlight the important bits in the UI outside of the text which is hard to parse. I would like to know what expansion they go with, and if they're fresh, ocean, sky, lava, etc. Even little icons could help there. Even if it's a lure or bait, which isn't 100% obvious at first glance. I have enough bait; I just want some help organizing them. No extra storage needed.

    They did help with this a tiny bit because now their fishing log entry shows the bait that's best to catch them with.

    To the OP, a tacklebox has been asked about and the team said they didn't want to add new inventory that was only for specific use but would want to add inventory everyone could use. I can see the logic in that.

    TYSM for the info on the fishing log. I don't normally use that screen, but it's nice to have it somewhere other than a website. Now they just need to add it to the fish overlay as well and that would go a long way.

    The only reason I find it really bizarre that they only want to give us generic space is the specialized space is actually really efficient. You can just store the information that you need and nothing else. You tend to get a lot more slots that way per byte stored. The downside is the code becomes more complex, though only slightly. They've already done it for crystals. It would just be nice to have it for other things as well.

    I really enjoyed Wildstar while I played it where you would just suck in all the loot and it would go to a specialized crafting supply area. It was a great experience and it felt amazing. I don't really enjoy overworld loot in this game. Outside of instanced content, loot is incredibly lackluster and because the instanced stuff is pre-known, I don't really get excited for it either.

    Yeah there are still some useful things that could be added like noting the time and weather requirements once we have caught the fish so we don't have to track that in outside websites or in our own out-of-game notes. But this little QoL is useful at least.
