A barbless spoon won't trigger a mission task

[Bridges]

Rocky Lake Careful Angler mission: "Equip a barbless spoon"
I'm using a barbless narrow spoon, does that matter?

Not if it's a barbless narrow spoon.

Yes I'm using a "barbless narrow spoon". {I edit the post}

Set a good time for best fishing activity.
You need to forward time to peak

The game made me go back home, make me buy a certain rod, reel and line, then head back to the lake. {the items were highlighted} and this is even AFTER I tracked the mission BEFORE I left for the lake.... only when I went to the lake did the game tell me to go home to use the store. I wasted a couple of hours on this, what nonsense is this? I've never had this happen with any mission before.

It's never been like this before just spining rod and barbless spoon I think you can use spinners, but it's been a while since I did that mission

Thank you. It's a very misleading way to do a mission, so I assume it's a bug.

It's not just catching, you also have to let the fish go back in the lake 😉

This is strange because spoons for Labrax mastering mission can be of any type. It isn't clear what a barbless spoon is (barbless nano spoon vs. barbless narrow spoon). I would recommend sending in a bug report.
