Saltwater fishing has all but killed my desire to fish fresh water. When I do fish fresh, a shiner or native minnow is my go to bait (or bread balls for sunny fishing w/kids).

It's funny how much is pushed toward a stealth approach (low test/invisible line) for bass fishing. Then you see a an ice fishing trap with cloth line pulling fish from the ice.

IMHO most innovations catch the fisherman, but like others have said, all the ponds/lakes/rivers between the atlantic and pacific keep folks looking for the next helicopter lure.
