Somehow my hook got stuck in the air above some weeds, with my telestick tried getting it out but couldnt, so wanted to cut the line, but it wouldnt let me either
You are wrong, this is a picture from just a few days ago, wiht 90 fish in net in 42 min play time as you can see in picture. and there are many places that hold good amounts of fish just have to find them.
As i understand there are some reasons that the steam client cant be included in the competitions, maybe how steam work or something. Anyways as you said theres not much difference in the clients mostly the competions. Personally i switched from steam client to standard and i enjoy the many competitions every week, but if your not into that i dont see any reason to switch
when you say expensive, whats the price range?
A cheap setup would be a: LaitSSL70L with a sputnik element 2000 and some good braided line with fluor leader.
for a bit more power you could go for a kareliaSPM66L with a commandor 2 20s
tried this aswell when i was new player on mosquito, except i was on land. Only tried it once though, also ended with breaking my rod. My best tip for you if this happens again is pressing alt+f4 to exit game and it will be unstuck when you start it again
