First bought gear setup???

[❄️The Last Frontier 😊]

Ok So I just started playing using my Epic version(Probably will swap over to the steam version once I get the full hang of things.

But anyways have reached level 5 and wanting to go after bigger fish. What rods, reels, lines and bait/lure would be a good first purchase as don't want to just waste money on the wrong set up and such.

So what would be a suggested good first buy that will let me move up the weigh level some!

Currently have about 10K in game cash to spend.

Thanks

New myself, so just 2 tips. Make sure you match your equipment towards your goal. Med pole, med reel, medium line, med lure ...
It's OK to use a lightweight lure if the heavier is sinking too fast depending on what you are fishing for.

On Steam, in the "Guides" section, there are many Encyclopedias and tips for playing FP.

u can check leaderboards too see how big the fish gets

in game menu top right corner

make sure to check both fish specie and map (some of them are in multiple places and it will show biggest)

some fish are weak some strong but this gives u general idea of what u need to prepare for

this is good article

On top of buying a balanced setup, don't forget to research what baits/lures are needed for your next lake. Some baits/lures may be out of your level range so you might not have the success that you are hoping for.

As I tell everyone else that is new to the game, ALWAYS get the best net/stringer you can. This is where the real money makes itself known. The more fish you can keep equals more money per day of fishing. That helps with the daily costs of staying at the lake and accumualtes enough money to repair your gear when you leave.

Absolutely. Just understand that you should go with a few optional setups such as foat/bottom/lure although I honestly can't remember what you have access to at your level. Some fish are bottom feeders, some fish are top feeders. Need some options so you can catch as many as you can.

On top of all this, you should keep in mind what money you have left once you buy all the stuff you need for your next lake visit. You still need money for license, daily access and eventually repairs. Repairs and daily access should pay for itself with each day's haul. I guess what I am saying is don't have just a few bucks in your pocket and think you'll be ok. I can't tell you how many players come on here complaining about this very thing and are stuck back at Lone Star Lake grinding away to make up for their monetary losses because they were not very successful at the new lake and came home with a net loss.

What lake are you aiming for anyway?
