Fishing - lure & bait on Steamdeck

[Forthewyn]

Hi all!

Wondering if any Steamdeck users have managed to figure out how to successfully use lure and/or bait with the Steamdeck controls? I can't seem to swing it.

Also, are there any visual clues that let you know you've successfully engaged the bait/lure?

Thanks in advance!

You attach them to the fishing pole with button x. Same button removes them individually.

Never use gamepad before? Sorry about asking, but there is not that many of buttons compared to keyboard.

There is no lure/bait visual clue. Basic Bamboo pole and training rod use no bait.
Fiberglass or something like that, I mean better fishing rod, have a special "pocket" where you put bait. Uses bait automaticly. There has to be some kind of guide about fishing, I don't know if you seriously need me to explain the basic of fishing in this game...
Even better fishing rod add one more pocket for tackle, that is also used in fishing automaticly but break after some time.

But you speak that "can't seem to swing it". Dear, you swing it with one button, holding it for enough time to "throw it" as far as you want or as far as you can, then you wait for a clue (so I'm explaining a basic of fishing after all...), visual or sound that a fish can be... "Fished". I guess. But I can't be sure if that's an advice that you need...
