    I have been a long time fisherman, and have always loved being in control of the knowledge base needed to catch certain fish, always have the right bait, etc. Maybe for some of you fishing enthusiasts, these issues are very unimportant; but I know some of you take this trade very seriously.

    Fishing is a state of being for some of us. I for one always carry multiple baits, because I enjoy being stacked for anything. Is it a matter choice? Of course it is. But the enjoyment comes from a trade that requires (quote, unquote) 'skill' in knowing where the best fish are, how to catch them and how to use them.

    I love the tackle box idea as well. Of course for the inventory space, but more importantly to bring relevance to a craft that takes great pride in their skill and precision to catch what people need or want. I like the way SE has put a nice spin on crafting fish into shards, it's a nice addition. Would I do it even if that wasn't the reward? Damn right I would!

    I've always loved fishing in FF11 and now in FF14. Ones that make it a trade for life know, there's nothing like being able to pop over to a pond after a leve or a grind to relax. Or to get some solo time away from all the fanboys telling you everything that is wrong with your class.

    The quest idea is excellent. I would like to add one other thing:

    I would like to be able to access your tackle box or even without in between casts so that I don't have to end the animation, go to my macro or inventory if the fish isn't biting on the bait I have equipped and change it. On the fly change of bait would rock. Thank you^^

    Indeed.

    I broke down and created by own Tackle Box... a little Lalafell mule named. Tackle Box who I drag around when I go fishing and he holds all my baits, lures and such lol...
