Fisherman and Tackle Boxes

[HexTechBomber]

I had a random thought that I'm shocked wasn't thought of when Fisherman was first created.

The idea is that the little tackle box option we use to select between our bait or lures is to turn that into a separate storage for putting our bait and lures into. As a player who just finished getting my fisherman to level 70, the issue of fishing is mostly your inventory being filled with nothing but bait. Now while we did get an expanded inventory back in Stormblood and soon we are getting Chocobo carrier storage, I still feel there should be some element to some kind of storage (limited maybe to 10 or 15 types) for our lures/bait to make more room for our inventory.

You could drag from your inventory and place into your tackle box the bait you wish to use, while retaining extra and swap out from your inventory at any time.

Not sure what others think but this could alleviate some issues of carrying around bait/lures

Was hoping they would have eventually done something along the lines of there being a separate window setup just like the spearfishing gig. But now it seems the chocobo saddlebag is our unofficial tackle box. We just have to take out any bait we're going to use from it. Plenty of space in it though.

I'm hoping the Chocobo saddlebag has plenty of space in it, because it gets annoying that my inventory is about 1/5th fishing bait/lure lol

Could do what I'm doing; fish every fish in the game for completion and you'll never have to worry about bait and lures again. The ARR and HW ones anyway. Though the SB zones are quick to complete at the moment. There's no annoying big fish with time and weather combos put in yet.

I think they said 70 items. But you can't use items from it, you have to transfer to your inventory first. But you can do so from almost anywhere, even if your bird is in the stable.

It is where my fishing bait and lures are going though.

Tackleboxes have been a requested thing since 2.0. We haven't seen them yet, unfortunately.

I was told that SE outright said no to tackle boxes or anything of the sort, but don't quote me on that. It was hearsay and I didn't look further into it since I didn't much care about fishing past leveling it at the time.

Yeah. If I remember right SE said they didn't want to add storage that would only be used by one class.

They managed it with the spearfishing jigs, I'm sure they could figure it out for the remainder.

If they don't want to go that route, it would be great if they condensed the bait a bit. This game* is big on inventory bloat, and fishing bait is no exception.

There are only 3 jigs, I wouldn't really call it even an inventory. Rather than give us inventory for lures and tackles I wish they'd just get rid of at least 50% of them. It's the one job in the game that has that sort of handicap. I can't even compare it to crafters because most crafters share mats. At the very least, I don't necessarily have to buy it if I need it, not the case with most baits who can only be found from vendors.
