The fishing loop
StepFishing in Ro-BassFishing is an active process you watch play out underwater. After you aim and cast, the camera follows your lure so you can see bass chasing it down. When a fish strikes, you set the hook, then reel steadily to bring it in — bigger bass put up a harder fight.
- Aim your cast target the spot on the water where you want the lure to land.
- Watch the strike follow your lure underwater and observe the bass move in.
- Set the hook time this for the moment the fish bites.
- Reel it in wind the fish toward you, knowing larger bass resist more.
