Lets pretend bass fishing manufactures read BR religiously and take members input to heart.  If you could tell them something you would like to see then here's your chance.

 

Come on man!  Put a premium hook on your hard bait the first time and don't cheap it.

 

Come on man!  Take your six best selling colors in your plastics and offer it in bulk packs to reduce cost per bait and reward your loyal customers.

 

Come on man!  If you make a split grip spinning rod put the hook/dropshot weight holder on the rear like the Tatula 73MS

 

Come on man!  Make spools of line in 420 yards so I can fill six reel spools with 70 yards each. 

 

Come on man!  Just put the other bearings in the handle grip and the bail roller.

 

Your turn.

Sell Cabelas, get rid of the debt you bought along with the name, and lower your prices across the board.

They took it off most of the best ones. I'm a backreeler too. Hope they'll put it back on!

My favorite spinning reels are Quantum’s. They took off the switch too a few years ago. I’m not a back reeler, but it thought it was essential for convenience for me. I learned to deal with it, now they are bringing the switch back.

Stop painting the blade on bladed jigs for EVERY color!  Or if you do, offer it with painted and unpainted blades.  Looking at you ZMan/Evergreen.  I'd have a more Jackhammers if i could get a couple of those colors with gold blades....Specifically GP and BHite.  

 

My that's my current, biggest pet peeve ;)...but hey, it's saving me some money at least!

 

EDIT:  I got another one for online retailers....List the blade size on spinnerbaits!  It's the most important feature of the bait and everything else is the same....I don't need to know about the space-age wires they mined from an asteroid (AKA the same wire every other one uses), tell me how big the blades are!

Interesting concept ~ I'll play . . 

First I like the no anti-reverse Shimano spinners - not a back reeler so that switch is useless for me.

While I can pretty much echo most everything noted above,

I'd like to see a True "Tangle Free" landing net that weighs in at something less than my boat anchor. 

 

 The remainder of the items on my wish list come from the 'You Must Be Dreaming' category.

 

So I could really use . . . 

New & Improved GoPro Batteries that last 4 hours each and recharge in 30 minutes. 

A 200 HP out board motor with a super charger on it, that runs on lake water.

A Lund Pro-V Bass Boat made with a Carbon Fiber hull.

A pocket size 'line infuser' that magically bonds braid & mono/FC leaders with NO KNOT:

      and at 150 % line / knot strength. 

A Soft plastic and especially a paddle tail swimbait, that's effective yet impervious to toothy critter attacks. 

A superior Cloaking device Incorporated into my Humminbird unit which would effectively make me invisible to all the  jet skis and pontoon boats who once they spot me , invariably simply must come close by and visit.  

And finally, I'll need the new Minn Kota Bow Mounted Rocket Launcher, for those special moments when I really need one.

I'm gonna invent this, then I'll have the $ to buy all the gear my heat desires!

 

I shall name it the "super splice system 2000". And yes there will be an App!

That picture is funny because it is SOOO true. All that open water...                                             I like the AJ linefuser idea.  Come ON, Man- does every soft plastic have to cost  $ .80?

I bought my daughter a lady's Ugly Stik combo about 6 years ago. The reel had no anti-reverse. I hadn't seen that on any reel before this one and assumed it was a cheap reel feature, or lack thereof. She never fishes and if she did, she wouldn't remember that she owns a combo anyway. So I took the reel off and put on one of my late dad's rods. I actually like it.

C’mon Man, when you make a spinnerbait make one more turn of the wire and close off the r-bend into an enclosed loop!!

C'mon man, when you have a product that people like, leave it alone.  It's ok to add new stuff but time has shown how much people like the older shimano reels etc. I personally would never buy another reel if lews would drop their original tournament pro from a few years back. Not the best reel necessarily but excellent at everything for a bargain

Sorry @A-Jay, this is the best we could do on such short notice.

@A-Jay surely with your USCG connections you could get hooked up with something nice for that last one.

It's been 10 years plus - I'm out of the loop.

But now that you mention it, I think I might know a guy . . . .
