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:

  1. Your rod type is allowed at the fishery
    ➤ Some fisheries only allow float, spin, or sea rods.

  2. Your hook is strong enough
    ➤ Weak hooks can't catch or hold larger fish.

  3. Your rod is strong enough
    ➤ If it’s too weak, the fish may escape during reeling.

  4. Your line matches the fish’s strength
    ➤ The wrong type or strength of line will break easily under pressure.

  5. 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."

But 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.
