Accidentally sold my reel and now I have no money for a replacement.

I guess I'm up the proverbial **** creek without a paddle.

Aww. I feel for you.
What's your level ?
If you really don't have any other equipement you can fish with, you could try to contact directly FP support
[e-mail]
Though, due to the fact it's your only game on that account, not sure they will do much... but be nice and try and explain clearely what happened will not hurt you anyway...
And if they do respond positively, also, be nice enough to say thanks... very much overlooked those days too... but the guys appreciate... due to the rareness it becomes...

You also have the daily reward that goes up for each daily successive connection, while it can be frustrating, by tomorrow you'll have a reel that can still land you panfish in Texas, and in no time you'll be back on track.

Hope the best for you.
It's sad that in that game we can't send other players limited max credit amount (daily or weekly) of either credits or gear. If that was a thing I would have sent you a small thing to help you get back on track.

On a final note, I would really suggest you for any bad case scenarios, to always keep lower level gear... you never know when they may get usefull (breaking either rod or reel while you used your next to last penny on a trip...) and also, selling back old gear, while giving you some money back, I always find the amounts so ridiculously low, that sometimes it's also best to keep for lower repair costs when fishing lighter fishes anyway.

The reason that its the only game on my accound is becouse this is an alt account for just fishing planet, on my normal account I installed fishing planet and wasted a ton of money traveling a lot.

I got it. No problem.

Now by the way, the fact you wasted money on travel, does not mean you lost all on primary account ? Sometimes you may also forget that you spent quite some money as well on your gear, and that gear is valuable as well nope ?

Wouldn't it be better to keep piling hours on your primary if you can get it back on track easy ?

Honnestly I have been back on some low level lakes lately... and if you want advice for travels, I'd say Texas until you have a sufficient net/stringer for NY (10kg is enough) then -> North Carolina with 20 - 30kg net/stringer (skip Colorado... it's not that bad... but all those youg trouts... there was a time when you were fishing 1/0 hooks there you got way more regulars, trophies and uniques... for some reason I had really bad days...) -> Oregon with 30 - 50kg net/stringer -> Florida 70kg - 100kg net is already pretty good.

Also what I seem to witness a lot too is the quite unforgiving methods you can sometimes see on some videos while bobber fishing...

Really ask yourself what you are after while fishing.... If you mainly want to go for trophies and uniques, simply dismiss the following... but it will have a cost... sometimes a cost you may not even recognise or take into account.

I had a great day fishing trouts in Oregon mainly bobber (and damn do I really suck at it...) and had my 70kg net filled with mainly cheap grasshoppers and crickets baits.. just have to find your depth and locations, and you will mostly land trouts with that... no trophies, no uniques ofc... but for a budget, when you try to build up your bank account, finding ways to not use a 1/3 of the fish value in bait is also important imo...
my 10k net would have been a probably only +8k net or less once all baits taken away (depending on bait choosen)...

Specially as lately, I have seen quite a lot of complaints about "bait is eaten or lost"
and if you also take them into account all those losses piles up as well...

So please use a claculator, and know what value has a single piece of said bait....

30 credits a small minnow, 65 credits a shiner, 190 credits a large minnow...
BUT 5.6 credits a grasshopper, 8 credits a cricket, on a 220 - 250 credit fish, you clearely see the impact...

I mean... I have seen a vid today of a guy that was using a shiner to catch bass in Missouri... cutting it's revenues to nearely 120 credits per fish... and sometimes getting a bowfin that nets him a 40 credits revenue once bait taken into account... that's simply insane imo... 3 bread pieces, 3 panfishes and you nearely have those 40 credits... I know it's not sexy... but in the end what's in the purse is in the purse...

Those things piles up in the long run... so use expensive baits WHEN you know how to efficiently use them... that will probably save you tons of cash.

You can fish great days in NY for pikes and walleye just with lures... and very few of them will still land you some great days... and unless you loose them due to breaking your line... once purchased, they will follow you and be usefull all along your fishing trips.
You could go small minnows road ofc... but remember to deduct 30 credits to each fish you catch to decide when to go back home with a successfull trip...

Sorry for wall of text.. just hope it will help get you further with far more money...
