Post subject:  Fishing Gear Details

Hey Hey yall, had some questions about fishing gear for yall today.

First question is about rods. What is the difference between a clothes pole and composite fishing rod? I know comp. fishing rod is way more expensive and the preferred rod but I had a hard time finding additional details on the reasoning for the choice.

Second is a question on bait. What does bait effect and in what scenario would you use insect paste/sabiki rig/little worms/etc.

Thanks again for the help guys and stay awesome!

Not all fishing rods Work correctly clothespole does work but bite rate seems really low while comp rod will catch most fish from 0-98 with a good bite rate. Bait is just selected based on what fish your trying to catch.

Is there any place that list what bait you use for what fish. From what I've tried my self I can see that insect paste catches moat carp.

https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com has a ton of info about each fish/zone/etc., including recommended bait/rod/zones for many of the more common targets.

http://great-blue.jp/?lng=en is a goldmine of info, too. While much of the data there is dated, it's very much in-line with what you'll find on Nas.

I also recommend checking out some of the awesome guides you can find here on the forums and the wiki:
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=6476 (mainly if you're Windurstian)
http://nasomi.com/wiki/index.php?title= ... e_by_Meeep (this was the one I followed most closely while leveling, but it's worth reading Nightcoder's newer one, too)
http://nasomi.com/wiki/index.php?title= ... Nightcoder (this is probably the most detailed one that accounts for somewhat-recent changes to fish NPC prices, etc.)

Probably a few more in the Wiki worth checking out, but those should all be a good start.

So does the rod itself actually effect the bite rate?

It seems odd - some fish just don’t bite certain rods, but if they bite at all the rate seems similar from rod to rod (like, ebisu doesn’t catch black sole any faster than a composite, etc.).
