Please increase the gear ratio on these fishing reels. When i cast it takes forever to reel it back. If I get a fish on (Happens nearly every cast) Increase retrieve time by 3x or more. I know you want to provide a game experience with hours/days of play time, but please don’t make reeling in line so time consuming.
I’d recommend you change the sound and haptic feedback when you have a fish on to include the clicker of drag being pulled from the reel. When this sound is made the player should stop reeling and wait for the fish to tire and start reeling again (just like you would do when fishing for real) Along with this sound/haptic the fish should actually move sporadically so you have a visual indication of this as well. This will allow for longer fights, without having to constantly reel in 1 mm of line per turn.
