It has already been discussed. Killerwhale said they will be adding the option of buying lost X-Series (not sure if CR or BC or something else) in the shop but not sure about mission rewards. Maybe it comes with the new France\Trolling update... Maybe not. I really hope they do. It is easy to make a mistake with leaders now, get a disconnect or lure just disappears like in my case. But we will see.

Exploit has been fixed and this should be closed so thread can die so it doesn't scare new players from Comps\Tournaments because not everyone is savy with ingame mechanics nor they don't know if it is fixed or not. If in future something similar happens, support is the way to go and I guess if it is really rampant post here.

I will be just a bit honest here because I am just a bit confused... This is NOT MEANT AS A WHINE POST. I just want to know more. If anyone who knows this area well can correct me or add their pro opinion I would be grateful. I am from EU and I am by no means expert or even layman on Mississippi River but I did read a lot about it. Now, I know this is the Delta part. So, Mississippi rolls out and... it really doesn't have many Fish species to catch. We have few new and rest from the other parts (WHICH IS TOTALLY FINE) but I was wondering, is Mississippi delta that poor in fish species or? It is just when I think about the Mighty Mississippi I think TONS of different species. Again, this is just a question for people who know the River and not a whine of any sort.

It is in the Eye of Beholder... For players that have been playing since release, game is "easy" BUT it can still offer decent challenges especially when new lakes and gear come out. Just try Carp fishing, it is (in a good way) MADNESS But for newer players, you got what we never had. Fishing Planet from A to Z on YouTube + if you ask a specific question here or on Steam forums you will get your answer. But as dimsam said, check tutorials, they are good and then just practice in Texas. It is free yet you will earn money. You can learn all fishing techniques there. Spinning, Casting, Float... And if you have DLC you can even Bottom Fish but I think bottom fishing gear is unlocked fast so you can go completely free. Tight lines.

Yeah it sucks. GL with support. And if you remember let me know if did you get it back. I might try again heh

Same thing happened to me... But I wasn't even disconnected with Lure in water. I had big lag and rebooted to try to fix. When I came back Lure was gone. Since Mission is complete there is no way to get it back. I wrote to support even but nada.

Tournaments are good and it all works like in normal game, you just need to practice at the same conditions as the tournament. MUCH BIGGER problem are people who exploit the Tournament\Comp rules but especially tournaments. Hint: "X-Person has left." 1min later "X-Person has joined". If you played during a certain time in Lousiana Qualifier you could clearly see person exploiting the sh1t out of it. There was probably more since rooms are small. Granted, it won't work every time but it works enough. Can't believe this haven't been fixed already. EDIT: Since devs know what I am talking about they should look into the Qualifier and how many times some people did the action and dis them.....

No. Pikes are not afraid of anything. Both ingame and IRL Dude will come to your boat and sit there like a boss. Because he is in most cases If you catch anything smaller beware of the massive strike Talking IRL here.

Thanks. Spots are not the problem. I just had trouble understanding the tournament because it is clear if you want to win, you will catch biggest fish. And in Qualifying Fish there is a lot of small ones. So I thought there is some "catch" to it. Cheers.

Hello. I didn't play this Tournament yet (if it was the same last xmas). I don't understand it really... So for "ease" here is the full description of first qualifier: Qualifier #1 Information So it says "catch gigantic Trophy and Unique fish....". But some fish on "Qualifying Fish" are much larger than some so you would just go for the biggest? So how does this go? Also second qualifier in Michigan has Muskies AND Smallmouth Bass, Walleye... Why catch Smallmouth who only Unique can be larger than requirement? Why catch Walleye when you can catch much larger Pike and Blue Catfish? Confusing. I don't know how to approach this tournament for practice. I have read the description 10 times and I can't figure it out except that as always you need to have 10 fish at the end... Thanks

Yeah it is unlikely. Problem is that I didn't just "lose it"... I had a massive lag spike at the time of playing. 45000ms or so. I couldn't land a fish (it would just disappear when I brought it in). Then I pulled all my tackle out and exited the game to see if it will still lag. Upon returning lure was missing from the rod. Also missing was the hook, leader, sinker and bait from another rod but that is easily replacable. I told all (with screenshots of lag) but it didn't matter. I am quite sure support can replace items but I guess this isn't a top priority ;(

I contacted the support and it seems they can't help me. Quote: "It is not possible to get it back once you completed this mission. " And it was the lure I was actually using quite a lot. Such a bummer

Today I lost a lure that I got from a mission and it is a total bummer. I exited the game and when I came back in my "4" rod didn't have the lure equipped anymore. It just disappeared. My mission is completed and I don't see a way to get it back or restart the mission. Is there some way? Thanks.

OMG LOL. Well I am embarrassed a bit I knew about the 30 day challenges and rewards but I was sure the Frog came as a reward from Lousiana Topwater competition. Well thanks and again my bad Cheers.

I've been playing this game since beta. I have every rod, reel, lure and basically everything that is in the shop. So if you win a competition (or 2nd, 3rd) you get a X-Series lure which is great but there is always a equivalent in the shop. Yes X-Series is better just because it works on sunny/cloudy/partsunny and if you don't have it you need to switch to the good colour depending on the comp weather. But. Lot of competitions have Topwater only. In shop best I can do is various #3/0 Frogs but X-Series one is #4/0. I have tested this with a friend and he ALWAYS wins just because he will hook a bigger unique needed for the win. I maybe might get lucky but people who have X-Series Frog #4/0 are basically unbeatabale in Quanchkin lake topwater comps so it is EXTREMELY hard to get that X-Series. Now to another issue. This Tournament (Smallies), guys with #4/0 have a massive advantage over us who have only #3/0. Sure there is a #4/0 normal Popper but it is nowhere near effective as the Frog. I double searched the shop few months ago and in last few days and there is no equivalent to X-Series #4/0 Frog popper. Any thoughts? Can we get few Frog poppers in shop that are #4/0 so comps are fair for everybody? This is not meant to be a whine post but I'm really getting tired of losing (bad) in Topwater comps and I already know that my chances of getting far in this Tournament are small just because I don't have the lure needed.
