    Fishing rod

    I know we can buy one in perks menu but can we please upgrade it so the rod (well fishing line) can become stronger (in FC5 wasn't there 3 rods...weak to strong)?

    The fish are easy to catch with the pole you get. Much easier than in FC5.

    As long as you use a controller. I had 100% failure (line breaking) when using a keyboard out of more than 25 tries. I finally hooked up and charged XBox controller and only broke line a time or two after that.

    Funny you should say that because I find the main trick with fishing on KB/M is how you use the mouse, not the KB.

    yes, the fishing is MUCH easier here, not really a challenge ( I use a controller on a PC), it is REALLY hard to break a line while on FC5 I had to be very careful. The REAL fishing is going after those devil fish

    I was OK with a single, non-upgradable rod. I play on PC with KB/mouse. I found fishing to be harder than with the best rod in FC5, but not too hard. As someone who's spent a lot of time on trout streams, I didn't find fishing to be very satisfying in either game. In New Dawn I only did it in order to earn perks. Once I'd won all of those, I never pulled out the pole again. I found other activities to be a lot more fun.
