Check a fishing line that will not reel in

THE SHORT ANSWER

Separate no bite from a hooked fish that will not reel in. Check the current rod bindings and record which stage stops. Kingy has no verified universal reel fix or complete current input sequence; keep quest bait while investigating.

Before you start

  • Your current game version
  • The item, setting or quest mentioned below

What to check

  1. Kingy has not verified a universal fix or the current input sequence for a fishing line that will not reel in. Distinguish a cast with no bite from a hooked fish that will not retrieve: those are different failures. Check the current rod bindings and record which stage stops.

  2. Record your game version, keyboard/controller, lure name, host or guest role, and whether a boss is active. Try a normal cast without spending quest bait while identifying the failed interaction. A repeatable report is more useful than importing another fishing game’s controls.

Check the result

You can identify the failed input or reproduce a normal cast with the same equipment and version.

If it goes wrong

Record lure, input device, host/guest role and active encounter. Use the no-bite route if the problem happens before a fish is hooked.
