The setup is simple - travel the world and try your hand at angling across nearly twenty different waterways that hold more than a hundred different species of fish and get the job done with a seemingly endless supply of licensed tackle and equipment. The Fisherman - Fishing Planet truly nails some of the best parts of fishing but is ultimately crippled by a few quirks and an inability to shed its roots as a freemium game. Turning an activity that could leave you sitting in a boat for hours on end with no action can be tough to translate into an engaging gaming experience, but the folks at Fishing Planet LLC have taken a stab at it and ended up with some interesting results. You will be suprized the limits of your gear.While they’ve always been a niche product, fishing games have existed as long as the video game medium. and fish at drag 2 untill you catch a fish. If your pole and reel say max limit 10lbs, try 20lbs test line.

Use the 50% as drag 3 as your base as to if you will break your pole or not, then go from there. Even if its says you risk breaking the pole. When i used 12lbs test line, i could reel in a fish at 2 drag, if a fish was under 23 lbs i could use drag 3 but with a high risk of it breaking the line. i would be able to pull in a fish of this size, but it would be a back and forth fight. so a 30 lbs fish at this setting would create a tension of 15lbs. Meaning at 3 drag, it causes 50% tension. I may be wrong here, but from testing it would seem the drag does infact act like a Clutch.

With this set up i can reel in a 25lbs fish on 3 drag with no problem, even 4 drag on some.If i were to follow what the poles limit was, i would think 10.5 lbs test would cause the pole to break. Recently i have seen a lot of complaints about the Drag, and how it works on cetain rods and reels.Īfter testing, i think most people do not understand why it works or how it works the way it does.įirst off the Max limits for rods and reels are missleading.
