Fishing tackle — HistatuFishing

Every component in the catalog, by slot. Each carries stats against the eight-stat key, one passive, the source it comes from, and the stage of the game it belongs to. Passives are mostly conditional — that is the point of the catalog, and the reason the tackle screen has to show which of them are live.
