I am currently looking for progression to catch bigger Pike.Ī good tip to invest in the top order down reel, rod, line, lure/bait? At first I think newcomers (like me) invest in wrong things as soon as credits are available. And in order to be comfortable you actually have to think. Great attention to detail! I like the notion of having to be comfortable with your rig. Starting to appreciate this game more and more. Where is the weak spot in that rig? I will loose my LEADER because it is lower than the LINE Load capacity, right? But I am thinking I need a better REEL (that will match the ROD better, or is that numeber (Max drag 3 kg) dynamic and left for the actual behaviour as you haul in the fish? What is Test? I'll try to be more specific with an example of a rig here:ġ) ROD: Load capacity 6,5 kg (test 15-45g, what does that mean?)Ģ) REEL: Max drag 3 kg (0,22 mm capacity) So, what parameters do I use (most generally) to determine the load chain? For rods and reels I can not make out the crucial parameters, max load, drag, Test?, Load capacity (rods). I will try to stay out of trees and branches as much as possible. But it also is the snagging that eats up my budget, lol. I realized many things about the vulnarable chain lure, rod, reel and try to keep the logic so that I will only loose bait/lure in case of big fish. Thank you Graubart and Crucian for valuable input. And I just wonder why?Ĭudos to the developers, really love this game and want to contribute by buying the game when released. I am not a fishing noob (IRL), but sometimes RF4 makes me feel that way. It has a pricetag, but lets you progress noticably well during the hunts - unless you're a complete fool, lol. I like 'The Hunter', it's an open world sandbox hunter game where you hunt and hang around in a beautiful environment. Just need some advice before I buy into premium. Do not get me wrong, I like the simulation and 'real' part of it (that's why I got hooked on RF4). I was looking for a way to buy into this game but it seems hard to find motivation if the business model is how people describe it? I have no clue and no preconceptions about it so I would really appreciate if someone could elaborate on the progress curve once you invest the money. So, is fishing small game for a year the only way to go? The price-step to something usable seems too far away. I have steadidly tried to get better gear, but it does not help at this point. What should I go for? I guess it's a common question? I want to catch bigger fish, but everytime I do get one on the hook, I loose my lure/line and/or break my pole. I certainly like the details but have a hard time levelling up. I have invested in a few perks (spinner fishing) and cooked my own first meal. Also, how do I dispose of gear that is beyond repair? Not to mention extra food to bring to Old Burg lake etc. It's like I have to think twice before I buy another pack of worms. I make 100 credits and at the same time I break my gear and loose my lures at the same pace, so I'm stuck at about 300-400 credits, it seems :). Very nice setting and mechanics, huge credits to the developers! However, it is EA and I do the freeride which means I have a long way to bigger catches etc.Ĭurrently on level 13 and progress is painfully slow. It is from my angle the best fishing sim so far - by far. I've tried a few fishing games and got hooked on RF4.
