Capybara Go Fishing Event Guide
Rods
There are different tiers of rods. Better/excellent/epic fishing rods DO NOT get you better chances at better fish. They just make it harder for you to lose a tough fish by making your tension meter have a higher break point. You also get the rods for free once you catch enough weight (kg). So don’t get the packs just for the rods.
Broken Lines
If you let the tension meter hit the max or let the fish reach 150 meters, then your line will break and you will receive a broken line. However, if the fish was a rare (purple) or kingfish (yellow) fish, then you will get a chance to try again using Gems. The 1st try costs 50 Gems and the 2nd try costs 100 Gems.
You can exchange these broken lines for lures in the Exchange Shop. By the end of the event, you want to have used all your broken line → lure exchanges, as you effectively get to “reroll” common fish for more chances at a rare/kingfish fish.
How do I tell if I should intentionally break my line or not on a fish?
You should be able to tell by the way the fish struggles; hold down the reel from the beginning and see how long the fish struggles. If it turns to yellow/green before maxing out your tension meter (i.e., impossible to break), then it’s a common fish and you can let it run out to 200M.
If you have trouble distinguishing, just let it run to 150M and use Gems.
Fishing in Bulk
If you have enough lures saved up, you can fish multiple times at once by clicking the multiplier in the bottom left.
There are different thresholds of lures required before you can use multiple lures. For example, you may need
to have 10 lures before you can use 2x lures at once, or 60 lures to do 10x at a time (numbers for example and not necessarily correct).
As long as you meet the number of lures threshold when you start fishing, you can keep using that multiplier all the way until you run out of lures, as long as you don’t exit the fishing window. If you exit and reopen the fishing interface, then it will recalculate your multiplier based on your new lure amount.
Is there an advantage to fishing in bulk?
There is no provable advantage in getting rare/emperor fish by fishing in bulk. It is just a time-saver (especially if you’re trying to fish in the last few minutes before reset to snipe rank rewards).
Can I get multiple kingfish at a time?
Yes, people have gotten 2 kingfish in a single 10x catch before.
Can I do broken lures on this?
Yes, though your fish struggle will be based on the highest grade of fish in the batch. You either catch them all or you let them all go.
Small Tips
Use x1 Event Bait when you are about to transition to a new zone. Higher multipliers might overkill and cause a loss of weight.
