Fishing Line

0.5 mm Fluoro - nerfed from 30lb/13.6kg to 28lb/12.7kg
0.28 Braid - buffed from 9.1kg to 9.2kg (no change for Imperial)

FYI, something I never noticed before as I don't play in metric for 20lb test all three lines have the same strength in imperial but the same line in metric is 9.0 (mono), 9.1 (fluoro), 9.2 (braid)

Nets and Stringers

These have been completely reworked, renamed, etc. As such, it is difficult to tell which is which between the previous and current version. Here are some numbers I can give:

Previously 7 Stringers and 11 nets were in the game
Now there are 6 stringers and 19 nets in the game

Previously the max single fish weight was 265lbs/120kgs and max total net size was 661 lbs/300 kgs

Currently the max single fish weight is 110 lbs/50 kgs and max total net size is 440 lbs/200 kgs

Vests

Grizzly Vest - New to game but currently shares same stats as earlier available (and cheaper) Wild Element Vest (email sent to support to advise).

Rod Cases

Vault 7 - New to game, 7 rod and 3 reel capacity

Tackle Boxes

Handy II - Nerfed to 1 line capacity instead of 2
Big Brother Bag - Nerfed to 2 line capacity instead of 3, 1 reel capacity removed

Lures

Single Spoons 3/0 and 6/0 have been resized to 2/0 and 4/0 respectively, lure weight remains the same
Bullet Spinners 3/0 and 6/0 have been resized to 2/0 and 4/0 respectively, lure weight remains the same

Crankbaits -- No longer have wear

[Not The Rat]

For some of us this is the third time we have had DLC removed........or changed.

The only thing you can count on in life is change. ;)

Almost forgot one of the most iimportant changes:

Crankbaits - No longer have wear

OP updated.

who the hell wants a 13kg max drag reel, when 12kg was perfect for the Espira Doublepunch 6500/LuckyShamrock 6500, likewise what is the ballance argument for changing the RiverTex ThunderSpin 5000 from the perfect 18kg to 17kg max drag, when 18kg / 8 works all the way down to 6.8kg line (18kg, 15.75kg, 13.5kg, 11.25kg, 9kg, 6.75kg)

If you read the line changes you will see:

0.5 mm Fluoro - nerfed from 30lb/13.6kg to 28lb/12.7kg

Which is exactly why the DoublePunch was changed to 13kg. The Rivertex changes work much along the same scale. The changes provide some further diversity in your setups.

Good job and thanks !

Thank you very much for the post!

lol, so they made the reel 13kg to cater for JUST Fluoro @ 12.7kg, so it would have an 11th drag setting of 11.91kg, some 0.79kg short of the line braking load, when they could have used simple maths and set it at 13.5kg if that were the case, giving 12.375kg (11th), 11.25kg (10th), 9kg (8th), thus matching much more closely to 12.7kg, 11.3kg and 9.2kg\9.1kg line.

thats some head up arse thinking there by them and you to render a reel useless bar 12.7kg line

and whare the hell is the "diversity" you say in using 17kg rather than 18kg it was with the RiverTex ThunderSpin 5000, the latter being the one that can work with a diverse range of lines from 15.8kg down to 6.8kg.

if your going to argue diversity at lest make it diverse.

[philaitch]

As the crankbaits no longer have wear, please make them like spinners and spoons where multiple lures can be held in a single inventory slot.

[Cpl Tunnel]

Probably the most unreallistic thing in this game is the drag system. The idea you need a
spreadsheet or a calculator to figure which line will work best with which reel is a little ridiculous.
They could make the cheaper reels less dependable and wear out faster like in real life.
