- How the fishing bar works, why you should start with the Training Rod, and what bait and bobbers do.
•The minigame
Keep the fish icon inside the green bar by clicking or holding. Higher Fishing level raises fish quality and makes the bar easier to control.
•Start with the Training Rod
At Fishing level 0-4 the Training Rod gives a much wider green bar, so you can land fish and level up fast before switching to better rods.
•Bait & bobbers
Bait makes fish bite faster. A Cork Bobber widens the catch bar; a Trap Bobber stops fish from escaping. Attach them to your rod.
•Why fish early
Fishing is the best Spring money source and fills Fish Tank bundles later. Rainy days in Spring are great for Catfish.
✓Checklist
- Use the Training Rod at Fishing level 0-4
- Fish rainy days in Spring (Catfish)
- Add bait to your rod
- Unlock better rods (Bamboo / Glass / Iridium)
- Save fish for the Fish Tank bundle
