Using the fishing Reel
The fishing reel can be tricky to use, especially if a fish is fighting hard. Here's some handy tips on how to use it:
Fighting a fish using the tension bar
When fighting a fish the goal is to keep the Tension Bar in the middle... too much tension will harm your rod, not enough
tension and the fish will slip off.
The speed at which you reel in will affect the line tension - reeling faster will put more strain on the line. Sometimes a fish will pull harder, at which point you should reel in more slowly, or let go of the mouse completely.
Eventually the fish will get tired and give up, making it easier to reel in - every fish is different though!
