I'd like to see a document invented that says "If you want to patent a product it must use the highest quality components available at all times in order for the patent to be active". That would be Z best thing ever .

I sweat all night long night fishing in Kansas. We get the best of both worlds, sub zero temps in the winter, and triple digits with near 100% humidity in the summer time. Plenty of nights I'm out it never drops below 90 with so much humidity that everything in the boat is soaked by morning. 

You get to enjoy all  four seasons for sure. 

crankbaits with swapable bills for when you need that same bait to run shallower or deeper. lol

Hybrid cable or electric steer trolling motor.

A line that can stand up to zebra mussels. 

I guess we can try piano wire leaders next!!!! 

You get to enjoy all  four seasons for sure. 

Sometimes in the same week!!!

 

1) Soft plastic baits that have a much firmer compound just at the head so it won't slide down from the hook eye -- for T-rigging or on a spring keep, or on a jig's trailer keep. This really sounds doable.Manns hardnose

2) Also, in order to keep T-rigged plastic baits from sliding down the hook, there ought to be a tiny mechanical rivet gun that snaps a tiny plastic peg through the hook eye and plastic bait but is short enough to stay just inside the bait (or else protuberances would pick up green yuck). This could be easy too.

3) Develop a hook with a quick and easy (and light and cheap) way to detach or compress the hook barb to enable painless and injury free hook removal from fish or man (or angry girlfriend). This is not an easy one.

4) A good mechanism to hold my second rod when I'm bank fishing. Sounds feasible.

5) A holder to securely hold my iPhone on my head to make it a helmet cam. (There's probably something like that out there somewhere. Yes, I know, I know I'll look stupid wearing it.

6) And I really want one of those drone subs to see what's down there. I know those Florida summer bass are hiding somewhere! (Eventually my drone's going to drag a bait, too! - Ha! Of course by then they'll have a law against drone fishing.)

 

Thanks, Maxximus, I'll order some hardnoses next time, maybe the worm or toad.

A Tazer that zaps those litter-bugs at the lake or pond. As soon as the garbage hits the water or ground, they get jolted.

I would like to see: Something that keeps your lure weedfree without the typical weed guards that interfere with lure movement and hooksets.

I apologize in advance for this is certainly an impossibility. Invent a Shimano reel that you could actually put on as much # test line as is stated on the spool.

Industry standards for hook sizes.

 

Something that kills green moss (algae) permanently, without affecting fish, or more desirable plants.

 

A baitcasting reel that can be used either left or right handed.

 

A solar charger that will charge my battery faster than I could ever hope to drain it.

 

A strain of bass that grows to 20+ lb., in northern waters.

 

A portable X-ray, or other sensor that can check the contents of a fish's stomach without harming it.
