How Phoenix calculates this
1. Each fish gets a hook weight
50 time of day / moon (fixed on Phoenix)
+ bait bonus power 3: +80 (lure +75) · 2: +65 (+60) · 1: +35 (+30)
− ¼ per skill point you're under the fish
− 0.15 per point you're over it by more than 10
− 3 large rod on a small fish · − 5 small rod on a large fish
+ 50 shellfish bait on a shellfish
× rarity, then kept between 20 and 120

2. Odds = its weight ÷ all weightsOnly fish that accept your bait are in the running. Whether you hook a fish, junk, a monster or nothing is rolled first, from moon phase, weather and the area.
Which rod?
Safest first. When the fish bites the server rolls, in order: does it get away, does the line snap, does the rod break. A “bad feeling” warns of a snap, a “terrible feeling” of a break, but both also show up as false alarms. Assumes fishing skill 134.
