Sometimes, your target fish just won’t bite or keeps getting away. Don’t worry – here’s a quick checklist to help you figure out why:
✅ Make sure
- Your rod type is allowed at the fishery
Some fisheries only allow float, spin, or sea rods. - Your hook is strong enough
Weak hooks can't catch or hold larger fish. - Your rod is strong enough
If it’s too weak, the fish may escape during reeling. - Your line matches the fish’s strength
The wrong type or strength of line will break easily under pressure. - You’re using the correct bait
Some fish require specific bait types to even start biting.
Check the Fish Summary window for bait recommendations.
🎣 Pro tip: The better the tackle, the bigger the fish.
🗒️ Keep in mind
- Mixing high-end gear with a weak component (e.g., great rod + weak hook) will limit your results.
- We recommend using balanced tackle setups for the best performance.
