casting for rare fish is way more addicting than it should be, i love watching the collection fill in one slot at a time. upgrading rods and bait makes the progress feel real, and dumping a big haul to afford the next rod is the best little loop. only gripe is the top-rarity fish can turn into an rng wall, i chased one for ages. still super cozy to grind, especially with friends casting next to you.
