Questions & Answers!

Hey, dear angling friends!
You probably have a lot of question for the Dev Team by now. And so, we’ll be happy to give you some answers! That’s why we’re launching a new series of posts called "Q&A Fishing Planet"
Once a month we will hold Q&A sessions and pick out 10 most interesting questions that you send us and will publicly post the answers.
Ask away, guys and gals!;)

PS. All questions for the 1st session should be submitted by September 27th 10 P.M PDT. Answers will be given by the end of the week!

I would like to nominate this players question for an exact answer please , will benefit many a player to have exact parameters.

A long time ago crank baits stacked, then in an update they ceased to stack.  All other lures and baits stack.  So, my question is why don't crank baits (also possibly top waters) stack?

Very excited , I was wondering if you guys were going to implement some more customization to the fishermen themselves ? Meaning hairstyles , facial hair, color , and of course outfits . At least a few different options to mix up would be nice . Another recommendation of mine is Ice Fishing . I think it would be a really cool feature to ice fish in this game and don’t think it would be to hard to add an electric or hand drill (or both) into Fish Planet . And yes fishing clubs or clans would be an amazing feature since me and my buddies all play together . One final recommendation for further updates is a Personal Pond that you can add to the game which you can add fish to , and also capture Pregnant fish and the fish can be kept in the fishkeep and brought back and released into your personal pond . For example a Pregnant Bass can be brought to the Personal Pond and released so that way your Personal Pond can multiply in quantity of bass . Of course the odds of catching a pregnant fish should be extremely rare , and even rarer for the harder species . Also along with the privelage of owning a personal Pond that should also be very hard to obtain . 

-Thanks hopefully you guys thought my ideas were helpful , I actually have a lot more ideas but I didn’t wanna talk to much ! 

P.S. I play on PS4

Hi. I am currently level 4. I have purchased both spinning reels and rods and spoons and when purchased it said I could buy but could not equip. So when I go to my inventory the items are there but says I can not equip. Does anyone know what is going on?

[PH_TalonAquila]

There is a level requirement for equipment.  Check your level against that equipment to confirm whether or not you meet the requirements.

Correct me if I'm wrong mate, but you can only buy equipment for the level you are at anyway.

You may be correct, and if so I apologize for the brain-fart.  However, " it said I could buy but could not equip. " seems to indicate something else is going on here.

[Marshall_Maz]

Not enough space in backpack maybe ? Just guessing what it could be

[Treebeard60]

Ah yes.....might not have relevant rod case etc  

[shwarp]

I also get the "can't equip item" message.  There needs to be some kind of explanation for why it cannot be equipped instead of a forum guessing game.

Are you ever going to bring Fishing Planet to the Xbox? I realize it's something a lot of Fans are wondering, so I thought I'd bring it up.

I'm sure this has been figured out by now but for anyone else reading the thread the answer to your question is to make sure that all the prerequisites are checked off. Also I've noticed you must have the room in your inventory backpack. Spoons and lures for spin and cast gear. I tried to understand why I couldn't have a bobber setup or a sinker leader setup for fishing on bottom with spin cast gear. After alot of messing around I learned that you can only equip certain things to certain rod setups. Now I think yes you should be able to do floats and sinkers on regular spin gear becasue telerods aren't really the only way to do those things in reality. I understand why and how they set this up this way even though I dont completely agree with it. The game works well and it's on a free to play setup now and you grind your way up the ladder. So cant complain too much. 

[zmcgraw95]

What type of hooks do i need to use a cast rod? None of them are compatible that I've tried

[PH_Carpman99]

Casting rod and (casting) reels can only use lures (in this game). 

[Hacone]

Does another player casting in the same spot affect you on whether or not you get a catch?

no bud

Hi there, I’m new to the game. Why is it when I attempt to purchase anything it says “You can’t currently equip this item, but you can place it in you home storage”. 
we have purchased a pack but are unable to use any of it.
