Hello Dandel! Thank you for your report. May I ask if the difficulties occur both when you're playing on PC and Steam Deck?
It will be helpful if our team can see a video of this issue so we can understand the problem. If the issue reappears, could you send us a video of it? A phone-recorded video will work!

It is hard to catch a video since the whole incident happens over the course of 3 seconds, where literally the sequence at capture is as follows...

• Start Fishing
• Fish bites the lure
• I start reeling the fish in
• Line snaps instantly after showing first segment of lucky angler.

I understand. Can you send us your save file that experienced this issue so we can try to replicate it on our end?
To find it, you can copy-paste this file path to the File Explorer: %localappdata%\ProjectCoral\Saved\SaveGames.

Currently none of my save files have the golden fishing rod ( backups included). I will mention that I have submitted other bug reports that may have the required save file. In my case I was over at the fishing spot near the giant village trying to get a giant sea bass on the first week of fall.
