hooked on fishing

i am beginning to wonder about Oleg and his fishing skills......no one ever taught him how to re-use a hook!!  You have to take it out of the fish's mouth Oleg, then use a new piece of bait ;)

i have discovered it doesn't matter what hooks i use....Oleg will lose one for every fish he catches, so i should just stick to the cheap minnow hooks----i have caught every kind of fish available except a hogfish, the little minnow hooks seem to work just fine.  When i use more expensive hooks, the results are the same---1 hook lost for every 1 fish caught.

Curious if your results are the same, or if you could justify buying big bad hooks ;)

  • And if the fishing time is end, you also lost one hook and rope while you has not been fishing one fish.
  • well yes T.C.Soon  :)

    that part doesn't bother me....just like real fishing, if i can't reel in my catch, or I break my line, I expect to lose my hook.
    But why should i buy super-duper hooks if i can only use it once???  And all kinds of fish can be caught with the minimum grade minnow hook (I haven't tried to catch a hogfish yet, maybe he needs a bigger hook, idk)

    It sounds like you are just holding your mouse button down on the reel to long. Do not let the meter go in to the red as the fish tries to swim away tap on the button instead of holding it down.

    @momrulz (US1)  I have found that the more expensive hooks sink faster making it easier to hit fish deep down before they move and I think they also give me slightly longer on the timer. Not essential but they made my life a little easier.  :¬)
  • urmm, well, thanks @Data King (US1)

    i seldom break my lines any more....the tapping thing you mentioned....Oleg has successfully taught me that much  :)

    but i was trying to ask about hooks----seems no matter what type of hook i use, or what type of fish i am catching,  one hook will be consumed per one fish caught.

    Ergo -->  why should I buy upgraded hooks?   Are there times when they help me??  I cannot seem to justify buying anything other than the minimum grade minnow hook, if i am always going to lose one......

    Well I would agree with you @momrulz (US1) if you are loosing a hook per fish then it makes sense to only buy the cheap ones. It may also have to with your level as a fisher person. :)

    I do a lot of fishing now at level 35 I only buy the cheap hooks as make 0 difference, 1 hook 1 fish no matter what hook.   I buy the cheapest rods as well.  But I do use the best fishing line available, use the cheap real for the Carp, Bonito, Blue fish and Bass, and best available for the others.  I swap the reals when I use baits for the other fish.  I never hire the boat at all and buy lots and lots of Sturgeon bait.  I norm fish the fish on each farm then my bucket can hold 4 more sturgeon to fill it up (bucket is at max).
