Good evening all, still pretty new to the game but is there a quick way to put ur rods back on the stand without having to look down and wait for the icon? Thanks

My rod stand has the ability to be tilted and I was just wondering if that had any effect on actually fishing. Does it hook the fish more easily? Does it keep the fish on the line longer?

Trilcrow Steam March 15 to April 2, 2020 Immediate loss of fish when picking up a rod from the rod stand. I keep running into this issue in multiple areas, fishing for multiple kinds of fish. I setup a rod stand. Cast my rods out. Then when a bite occurs I wait for all the indicators to go off before picking up the rod. (Rapid rod stand light and beeper, Bell on bottom rods dinging, and the line gets dragged all over continuously) But when I pick it up and try to set the hook there is no fish. The indicator in the top right that shows the lure/bait shows the bait as if I had just cast the rod. The bite is lost, and I get the message my bait has been lost or eaten by a fish. I've tried picking the rod up before all the indicators go off and waiting for the fish to finish the bite before setting the hook. But the fish spawns into the water when I pick up the rod and swims away and never comes back. This has happened in Michigan with Pike and all the verities of Muskie, California and White Sturgeons, UK and all the large verities of Carp, and Mississippi with Permit, Tarpon, and Red Drum. So far I have only had this issue with bait fishing rods. (Match, Bottom, and Carp) I have been using both the Triple and the Quad Stands with indicators. Specific equipment: Majesty 11' 5", Deep Horizon 13' 9", and Heavy Chaser 10' 2". All with Leviathan 10000 reels. Video: https://youtu.be/E6smLMpyMLg Anyone else having this issue? It was noticeable, but not to bad until I got to Weeping Willows and Blue Crab Island. It happened about 10% of the bites in Weeping Willows. So it was annoying but playable. But Blue Crab Island is pretty much unplayable with bait fishing for me. I lose most of the fish that bite to this issue. Edit: Added a video of the issue. Also did some testing and it seems to occur a lot more frequently when you have a rod in your hand and you're switching to a rod with a fish bite starting. So it might be a rod stand issue and not a bait fishing rod issue.

As the title says in the past few days I have been running into a rather big bug using the rod stand. Basically when I switch out rods using shift+rod number the rods bug out completely and cant be used at all sometimes they will fix themselves in a few seconds but most of the time they require to be put back and picked up until they are fixed, it also seems to be possibly causing other issues with the game freezing for several seconds when retrieving a line as well as issues with using the hot keys to change rods but these might be unrelated. Anyway I have attached some screenshots to show the main issue.
