The Reeling Mechanics
Assign your rod to a hotkey, equip it, and click to cast your line. Watch the bobber. When you see a massive splash, left-click again to reel in red snapper. If you click too early or too late, you lose it, and frankly, you deserve to. Do this enough times, and maybe you will finally complete your windrose master fisherman collection. But let us not set our expectations too high.

Do I need a specific workbench upgrade for the rod?
Yes, you must build the sawhorse upgrade in the crafting menu before you can make the rod.
How do I know when to reel the fish in?
Stare blindly at the bobber and left-click only when you witness a massive, unmistakable splash occurring.
Is the Red Snapper required for any collections?
Yes, it is painfully mandatory if you ever wish to actually complete the Master Fisherman collection quest.
