It's rumored that you catch marlin after 10 skill

Does fishing rod QL affect the success of catching a fish? or the QL of the fish? Zao (Aug 21, 2009)

When I imped my rod I started catching more fish and their QL went up too. Ddddestroyer (Aug 22, 2009)

My skill is only 17. The QL of the rod seems to influence greatly my success rate. A lower QL rod in the 20's results in a fair number of fish getting away. Using a 74 ql rod give me almost a 100% success rate for catching the fish. The QL of the fish seems to be fairly similar when fishing from the same tile. Kaptkaos (July 15, 2011)

Octopus

With a 90 ql willow fishing rod and a 90 ql steel reel, a 66 ql braided line, a 20 ql lemon fishing hook feather and corn, I was able to catch octopus at lvl 50 fishing. octopus caught on every bait with every hook and float. 7-1-23 GodRobotswife

Blue Shark

I caught a small blue shark after fishing the tile from level 58-65 at level 65.2 after 30 fails to reel one in. Therefore I assume with a 90 ql rod and reel, level 65-70 is where you need to be to catch these. Sharks were hooked with every hook float and bait type. 7-1-23 Godrobotswife

Snook

First snook caught at level 66 , All fails before this level with 90 ql pro fishing rod 90 ql reel. 7/2/23 Godrobotswife

White shark

realed a small and a 95kg shark in at 67 fishing 90 ql pro rod with 90 ql reel. On a wurm and bone hook with a twig float. 7/2/23 Godrobotswife

Dorado

struggled to catch a small one at lvl 65 fishing 90 ql rod 90 ql pro reel. 7/1/23 Godrobotswife

Fishing Rod ql

Once my rod dipped below 90 ql I was unable to catch any special fish except octopus at level 66-70. It seems rod ql drastically effects catch chance.
