I'm tempted to think this is wrong.

But that's not why I'm posting in this topic. I noticed something:

When I go after the "Snag Counter" when a snag hits, using a loaner rod, sometimes I get a good reel-in off of it. But sometimes, I'll get nothing but protection.

However, so far, EVERY time, using a splintered rod w/dura, I've gotten a good reel-in + protection.

So dunno, I think rods are pretty pimptastic, myself. i'm glad for that too, since I've invested a large amount into them.

I haven't even used anything but the loaner rod so far.
I know what you're talking about though. Sometimes clicking the snag counter will make you crit, in a sense, while at other times it doesn't do anything but prevent you from being 'critted'.
Meh. I just restated what you said.

Don't think of it as "crit" as that's totally wrong.

You have a fishing rod, and you're trying to catch a fish. He's hooked, you're reeling him in.

When you're fighting a fish, sometimes he drags out your line, and bends the tip of your rod dangerously low. if you fight him too hard, then your rod can break. Sometimes, even if you don't fight, your rod can break, so it's better to either flip your real, giving him your line, or to snip your line before the break happens, or set your drag way lose.

However, when the fish gets tired, there are times that you get to reel him in half the distance before he starts fighting you again.

So what you call a "crit" is more just you getting the opportunity to reel the fish in a longer distance before he fights to get the hell away.

With a "snag", basically your catch is trying to hide (usually in water weeds, or behind/under a rock shelf). That's a desperation tactic, and a lot of the time they swim TOWARD you to do so. If you can prevent the snag, then you gain a lot of leverage on the fish.

Yes, btw, I fish.

few too many wha??

bong bowls, joints etc?

dumb question imo

still cant figure out how to catch a damn fish ive had like 20 tries lol

Maybe if you'd quit spamming my thread and just read the actual post you'd figure it out...

I read your whole post before I fished and I still can't fucking do it.

The counter button doesnt do anything and the line always SNAPS way too quickly before I can do anything
