I see braided line becoming less expensive, although if you consider the life it's not bad now.
Rods, I don't see getting less fragile after all unless physics changes a tube is still the most efficient shape. You could fill the inside with reinforcing but I would think production costs as opposed to the current mandrel method would negate any advantages.
Reels, I see a great opportunity for a braid friendly reel with minimal bearings that's easily maintainable, like a modern 704. Of course that might be a spheros?
