Welcome to Gaia! ::

It depends on what you like. Endureance rod? Do you mean performance? xp

Every rod has it's own advantages and disadvantages..

I'll jus' copy/paste the stuff I posted in another topic xd

Basic rod: Like I said, i's a starter's rod, and by far the worst one...
You can catch the large fish with it (like Stripers..) But the chances are sooo small, it almost seems impossible..

Basic plus: I haven't fished with that one lol But from the info about other upgraded rods, I guess that it's red lines are a bit wider apart, and the casting distance is bigger..
I guess i's better than the unupgraded basic (duh sweatdrop ) And the chances of hookin' a large fish are bigger 3nodding

Strength rod: One of my very first rods.. It has curved lines at the bottom, so i's good if close battles are a trouble for ya 3nodding
Though, it has a huge disadvantage.. It's casting distance ain't big enough to hook large fish.. You can only hook small (like guppies), and medium (like bass).. And a rare (if ya get really lucky wink )

Strength Plus: It's red lines are wider apart, and i's more powerful, even the large fish are a peace of cake with it.. Yes, you heard me right, it's casting distance is bigger, and big enough to hook large fish! =D So, i's one of the finest rods (in my oppinion) wink

Distance rod: It has curved lines at the top, and it's casting distance is very big.. So the chances of hookin' a large fish are very big..
Though it has no curved lines at the bottom, so close battles ain't easier with it...

Distance Plus: It's red lines are wider apart, and casting distance is optimum (all 100ft) One of the rods, that has the biggest chances of hookin' a large.. I's also the one I mostly use..

Performance rod: It has curved lines at the top and at the bottom, the curve at the bottom ain't as big as strength rod's curves.. The casting distance is big enough to hook large fish..
Well... What can I say?... A pretty decent rod 3nodding

Performance Plus: Red lines are wider apart and the casting distance is very big, but not as big as distance plus..
It is a good rod actually.. 3nodding

I like using distance rod best

i usually use the distance +

-ahem-...

Basic rod has the distance to hook large fish, but the chances of that are soooooooooo small!!

I have caught a striper once, and that's it, that's the only large I have caught with a basic

Strength rod can't be cast far enough to hook large fish, so it's a no go (except strength plus)

Performance rod can hook a large fish, and the chances are decent, it just may be that you're losin' them when ya hook one, cuz they're strong and fast.. And they're jus' not that common like small fish...
So, if you use performance, you will get large fish sonner or later! 3nodding

A distance rod has the biggest chances of hookin' a large amongst the unupgraded rods..

And all the upgraded rods can hook' a large..
(strength plus has the smallest chance of hookin' a large amongst the upgraded rods...)

Thank you so much for the help Dragriff xd
that cleared up a lot of things!

formula?
