A New Fishing Rod

Post by Silushun »

How do I discover a better fishing rod? This one blows major titties... I've been fishing for 10 minutes and caught 1 fish. I'm about to kill myself by drowning.

Some bait types + ingame times are bad news. Try a new location (shallow vs deep water is the easiest). You should be catching 1 fish every 1-2 minutes on average.

Beyond that I'm pretty stumped. Basic metal discoveries didn't unlock it, so I'm thinking it might be steel made.

Well I caught 1 Bream on a shallow, 1 carp on another shallow and a ruffe on another shallow.. 3 fish in about 14 minutes.

I guess I can just cry whilst waiting for this poop of a thing.

That's what I mean. Try fishing in the deep area instead. River shallows is the same "fish type" everywhere. Lake deep wasn't catching me anything today, so I switched to lake shallows and I'm fishing much better.

It's not a geographical thing, but a time and type of water thing.

Neat, still miles off either though XD Someone will get to it long before me.

Entrails suck ass for lake fishing (deep or shallow) but they're pretty good for [mountain] pools
