Administrator Levo_RF4 Posted May 25, 2018 Administrator Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hi guys Please see some examples of possible set-ups you might want to try to get once you reach certain levels in the game. These are good quality gear for adequate levels and you might want to give them a try when buying new fishing equipment. Please keep in mind that there are different rods and reels available that you might like more - those are ONLY examples of some set-ups that might help some players to choose their rods and reels. FLOAT FISHING: -Telescopic rods Rod level 8 - Express Fishing Red Stick RS23 (Telescopic rod) Spoiler Spoiler 2.5 star quality Telescopic rod - 7m long with test 2-16 g and load capacity of 8.5 kg. For this rod I would use Mono Original 6.8 kg line 100m. 7m length of the rod will allow you to fish from the water bank. Rod level 16- Syberia Model One T700 (Telescopic rod) Spoiler Spoiler 3.5 star quality Telescopic rod - 7m long with 7-80g test and load capacity of 11.5 kg. For this rod I would use Snake Ultra Line 8.7 kg line 100m. 7m length of the rod will allow you to fish from the water bank. Rod level 22 - Falcon TL 800 (Telescopic rod) Spoiler Spoiler 4-star quality Telescopic rod 8m long with 3-15g test and load capacity of 22kg. For this rod I would use Snake Ultra Line 19.1 kg 100m. This is an excellent rod for targeting large fish species such as carp. The length of the rod depends on the spot we want to fish. If we are fishing from the boat (I would recommend shorter version) or from the water bank (longer version). Rod level 28- Blade Master 600 Spoiler 5 star quality Telescopic rod - For this guide I did choose the length of 6m for fishing from the boat - Amazing rod with 2 bonuses. This amazing rod gives you 2 different bonuses: +3% to "Using a rig with fixed line " ability and + 3 to the " Using a slider rig". Excellent rod for trophy hunting. Please make sure your line is less than 16kg for this setup. - Match rods Rod level 18 - Model One Match M140MH (Match rod) Reel level 16- Proton PRO 6000 (Spinning reel) Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler 3.5 star quality Match rod 4.2 m long with 7-35g test and load capacity of 16kg. 3.5 star quality Reel with spool size of 6000 and max drag of 9.5kg. For this rod and reel, I would use Snake Ultra Line 14kg 300 m Rod level 30 - Rebellion Match 420H ( Match rod) Reel level 26 - Tagara 10000 (Spinning reel) Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler - 4.5-star quality Match rod 4.2 m long with 12-36g test and max load capacity of 41.5 kg. This amazing rod gives you 2 different bonuses: +5% to "Float fishing " skill and + 2 to the " Using a rig with the waggler ability". - Tagara 10000- 4-star quality spinning reel with spool size of 10000 and max drag of 26.5kg. For this rod and reel, I would use Heavy linee 36.4kg - please note that this is only a wise choice when fishing in smaller, mediums size lakes as you will only have a limited amount of line on your spool. Using this mono line will save you some silver when it comes to the repairs. If you need more line you can use braided line + leader instead but the wear on the rod and especially reel will be very high. Tagara reels are an excellent option when using mono line but they are not the best choice for using braided line. This is a very strong setup for targeting a large fish species. Rod level 32 - Blade Monster Match ( Match rod) Reel level 30- Venga 10000 Spoiler Spoiler - 5-star quality Match rod 4.4 m long with 12-60g test and max load capacity of 65 kg. This amazing rod gives you 4 different bonuses: + 3 to the 'Using a match rig" ability; + 3 to the ' Fishing with match rod " ability; + 3 to the 'Use of Carp Hair rig" ability and + 3 to the 'Use of Carp Hair Pop-Up rig" ability. This amazing fast action match rod is the best match rod in the game at the moment. Please do not use line bigger than 62-63 Kg. - Venga 10000 - 5 star spinning reel with max drag 32kg. Very strong reel with 10000 spool. This reel will allow you to use mono line more often when fishing at different water bodies but this is reel with very good durability so even when used with braided line, the damage to your reels is very low. BOTTOM FISHING: - Feeder + Picker rods Rod level 8 - Express Fishing Persey FD140 (Feeder rod) Reel level 8 - Sputnik Element Pro 4000 Spinning reel) Spoiler Spoiler -Express Fishing Persey FD140 - is 2.5 star quality rod, this model's length is 4.4m and test is 20-110g. With this rod you will be able to cast fairly long distances. -Sputnik Element PRO 4000 - is a 3 star quality spinning reel with spool size 4000 and max drag 6.5 kg. For this set-up I went with Simmons Mono Original line 18 LB 350m , but this is my personal preference. Rod level 13 - Syberia Sentense FD340 MH (Feeder rod) Reel level 12 - Sputnik Proton 6000 (Spinning reel) Spoiler Spoiler -Syberia Sentense FD340MH - 3 star quality feeder rod with test 15 - 80g.

It is an excellent choice for medium size species and carp fishing. - Sputnik Alfa 8000 - 4 star quality reel with spool size of 8000 and max drag of 14.5kg . Excellent reel for the price, it can be used for bottom fishing and spinning. I am confident that you can use this reel even when targeting trophy carp at Bear Lake. For this set-up I used Snake Ultra Line 42LB BLU 300m - but again this is my personal preference. Rod level 20 - Westhill Wingate FF130XH (Feeder rod) Reel level 26 - Trident Major 2 Ltd 6000s (Spinning reel) Spoiler Spoiler - Westhill Wingate FF130XH - 4 star quality feeder rod with extra bonus +1 to the "Fishing with a feeder rod" ability - this bonus is gives a player an extra skill point in casting distance, accuracy and control of the fish when fishing with this feeder rod. This excellent rod has 40-150g test and load capacity of 34kg. With this feeder rod you will be able to target even larger species in the game. -Trident Major Ltd 2 6000s - 4 star quality reel with a spool size of 6000 and max drag of 19kg. This reel will help you to land even large fish species in the game. For this set-up I used Snake Ultra line 42LB Blue 300m but if you need more line on spool, you could use braided line and add mono or fluorocarbon leader to your set-up. Rod level 16 - Syberia Model One Picker 300MH (Picker rod) Reel level 16 - Syberia Sabre 60s (Spinning reel) Spoiler Spoiler - Syberia Model One Picker 300MH - 3.5 star quality picker rod with test 9-41g and load capacity of 26kg. Very good rod to target small and medium size fish species. -- Syberia Sabre 60s - 3 star quality reel with spool size 6000 and max drag 10kg. Very popular reel that is used by many players.

Excellent rod with extra bonuses (+ 2 to the "Using a loop rig; +2 Using paternoster rig and +2 Using an in-line rig abilities" ). With those extra bonus points, this is an excellent choice for targeting small and medium size trophy fish species. - Zeiman Commandor 40s - 4 star quality reel with spool size 4000 and max drag 11kg. This well built spinning reel can be used not only for bottom fishing but also for fishing with float and spin fishing. For this set-up I used Snake Power Braided line 39LB SMO 300m with fluorocarbon leader FD30LB. - Carp rods Rod level 16 - Syberia Fortuna Carp 360 XH ( Carp rod) Reel level 22 - Caliber HSV 80SLC Spoiler Spoiler - Syberia Fortuna Carp 360 XH - 3.5 star quality carp rod with test 35-160g and load capacity 39.5kg. This powerful rod - length 3.6 m allows very long casting distance. This rod is a good choice when targeting large fish like Carp, Russian Sturgeon or Catfish for mid lvl players. - Caliber HSV 80 SLC - 4 star quality reel - Good reel for beginners to carp fishing. This reel has a big spool that will allow you to often use mono line on smaller and medium water bodies when fishing for carp rather than braided line with different spinning reels. I would suggest not using a bigger line than 32-33 kg for this setup. Rod lvl 28 - Sage 13-3.50 Reel lvl 26 - Tagara 10000 Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler - Sage 13.350 - 5 star quality carp rod with 60-165g test. This is very powerful reel rod with the length of 3.9m.

For this setup, I would use Heavy line 32kg - please note that this is only a wise choice when fishing in smaller, mediums size lakes as you will only have limited amount of line on your spool. But using this mono line will save you some silver when it comes to the repairs. If you need more line you can use braided line + leader instead but the wear on the rod and especially reel will be very high. Tagara reels are excellent option when using mono line but they are not the best choice for using braided line. Rod lvl 28 - Avalon 13-3.75 Reel lvl 28 - Megara 8000 Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler - Avalon 13-3.75 - 5 star quality carp rod with 75-195g test. Powerful carp rod with length of 3.9m. This rod gives you 1 bonus of +2 with " Fishing with carp rod"ability. - Megara 8000 - 5 star spinning reel with max drag of 25.5 kg - very good choice for carp fishing. This reel with large spool allows more line than another spinning reels with same size spool. Mono line for small and medium size water bodies and braided line for large water bodies (Amber Lake).

Rod lvl 32 - Legacy Ti 13.-4.50 - Carp rod Reel lvl 30 - Venga 10000 - Spinning Reel Spoiler Spoiler - Legacy Ti 13.-4.50 - Carp rod - 5-star carp rod - the strongest bottom fishing rod in the game atm. Test 70-220g and load capacity 80.5kg. This is an excellent rod with +7% bottom fishing skill and + 3% to the fishing with carp rod bonuses. Best rod to cast a large distance and to target even very big fish species. This rod is also good for bait fishing as the test is 220g. - Venga 10000 - 5 star spinning reel with max drag 32kg. Very strong reel with 10000 spool.

SPINNING AND BAITCASTING: Rod Level 16 - Onega Ethnic SPM68UL ( UL spinning rod) - ULTRA LIGHT SETUP Reel level 20 - Sputnik Alpha 1000 ( spinning reel) - ULTRA LIGHT SETUP Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler - Onega Ethnic SPM68UL - 4-star quality spinning rod UL for ultra light setup with test 1-5 g. - Sputnik Alpha 1000 - 4-star quality spinning reel with test 1g - an excellent choice for ultra light setup. For this setup I chose an Extra Silk 4kg braided line, you will need to also add fluorocarbon leader for more effective fishing. I would suggest a 3-4kg leader. Rod level 10 - Syberia Linear S88H (Spinning rod) Reel level 12 - Sputnik Proton 6000 (Spinning reel) Spoiler Spoiler - Syberia Linear S88H - 2 star spinning rod with test 12- 45g and load capacity 15.5 kg.

Optimal rod for targeting small and medium size predator fish species. - Sputnik Proton 6000 - 3 star quality spinning reel with spool size of 6000 and max drag 8.5kg. Optimal spinning reel for all occasions. For this set-up I used Simmons ExtraSilk Braided line-30 LB Bl Xl 300m and fluorocarbon leader 11.5 kg. Rod level 12 - Syberia Super Duty S88H (Spinning rod) Reel level 16 - Sputnik Proton PRO 6000 (Spinning reel) Spoiler Spoiler - Syberia Super Duty S88H - 2.5 star spinning rod with test 14-70g and load capacity 24.5 kg. This model length is 2.7m is what make is perfect fro casting in limited space or on fairly longer distances. This is perfect rod for targeting medium or larger predatory fish species like pike. - Sputnik Proton PRO 6000 - 3.5 star quality spinning reel with spool size 6000 and max drag 9.5kg. Another excellent reel for all occasions. For this set-up I went with Simmmons Extra SIlk 34LB Bl Xl 300m and Simmons Steel Leader 15 kg (targeting a pike). Rod level 26 - Heaven Creek Evora CST CSSL98H (Casting rod) Reel level 30 - Zeiman ZM- Steelness ZMS60 (Baitcasting reel) Spoiler Spoiler - Heaven Creek Evora CST CSSL98H - 4 star casting rod with 12-60g test and load capacity 49.5kg. This rod gives an extra bonus +10% to casting distance. This is excellent rod for targeting medium and large predatory fish. With extra bonus this rod gives you a chance to cast baits at long distances. - Zeiman ZM- Steelness ZMS60 - 4.5 star baitcasting reel with spool size of 6000 and max drag 17.5 kg. This excellent baitcasting reel for all occasions. This reel has a light spool which makes it a perfect baitcasting reel for casting at longer distances with even relativity light baits. For this set-up (fishing at Kuori lake) I used Snake Power Braid 39LB SMO 300m and Simmons Pure fluorocarbon leader 38LB. Few important informations: - Please remember that your rod should be the strongest point in your set-up and line or leader should be the weakest. - When choosing your line please check your max rod capacity, spool size of your reel and max drag of your reel, you also should consider wear damage of your tackle and always check the whole set-up that you are using before starting fishing. - Remember that better quality equipment (more stars) wears of slower, so you do not need to repair it or replace it as fast as lower quality equipment but you might need to pay a bit more once you need to repair or replace parts of your equipment. - Using braided line makes your equipment wear faster. When using mono line your fishing equipment wears slower but you will have less line on the spool. Levo 28 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mqg Thanks for your input. The problem is with "probably". Every reel is different, some reels can probably handle 2x or more stated max drag, but some only 1.2 x max drag - that is why we got stars quality for every item in the game. Also some new players think that when they see on the reel that the max drag is 4.5kg, it means that this reel can only stop the fish that is not bigger (weight of the fish) than a 4.5kg. And ofcourse this is not about the fish weight. It is about the strength-force that fish is putting on the reel, that these players unfortunately mix up. I am confident that the lines chosen for these set-ups will be the first to break, even if player will do max drag and even when the reel has 20% wear. Also some of the lines and leaders are chosen for the specific water body and fish living in it - for example you do not need 300m line on Kuori Lake and you do not need more than 150m on Bear Lake but also you do not need 20kg line when targeting Chars or Burbots on Kuori Lake. Another example is: you do not need an Everest II 8000 and Dominator Carp Rod when targeting Breams at Volkhov. What I mean is: once a player gets more experienced, they will know what line, leaders, reels, rods are best for the fish they are targeting. But if they don't have this knowledge yet, is better to be safe than sorry - it is probably cheaper to have line thorn than reel or rod broken.

LamaX Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I love it, it's great to know what should I get. But the gear is really expensive, I get from 16 to 18 lvl when trying to grind money for a reel. Rods aren't asmuch expensive, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team deadspirit25 Posted July 13, 2018 Team Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hey Levo, Nice guide as usual maybe it would be better for the last setup float to switch rod because the test of the rebelion rods are too light you can't baitfishing with it seems the falcon is a good choice for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honker123 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Thanks for adding some Float setups. As I try Spin I realize I may not be a fan of it. May go the hipster route and continue exploring Float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darzenis Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 As a never player I deeply appreciate this very comprehensive guide. I would however like to talk about reel and line relations a bit more clearly if possible. To summarize (subjectively of course) one can use heavier line than the reel's drag indicates but the added weight should be derived by the star value of said reel. Is there some math (multipliers) that we can use in relation to star amount? Not to ask precise measurements but an approximate spectrum instance, for instance: 3 stars representing a 1.2x multiplier and a full star set representing 2x multiplier. Thank you!

darkneon Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 do the bonus skill points on rods add up when you already have full skill points in that skill, so would you have an even higher chance to catch trophy fish that way ?
