This is a legitimate question I'm trying to ask here.
Prior to getting my supra I caught about 8-10 Ogloi's and about 6-8 Twitchbeards... after getting it... one of each in the same time period.
Just wondering if anyone else noticed a drastic reduction of 2 star fish being caught once you started using the Supra.
I know RNG is a big factor... but it just seems extreme that it would be such a difference on something that is 'supposed' to give me a better chance at catching fish.
Is Halcyon Rod Supra Broke?

Ya i have noticed that not as many big fish pulls have been appearing. I have zero proof on this and am just basing this on "what it looks like" BUT, there seems to be a sweet spot for Gathering and Perception that has given me better odds. But with no way to clearly test this its purely speculation and what i see.
I have the Supra and all i70 gear, and if i use Spinach i get 383G and 306P and i seem to have less big pulls. But if i just use Rabbit Pie for example, I end up with 365G and 300P and i seem to have better success in getting more Big Fish pulls. Not all successful reels mind you but at least they come up more often.
Just my 2 cents -

Do you get any "Fish gets away..." Messages with the rod equipped? Do you use +Gathering food?
If you get "fish gets away" then it means the fish was too big (perception too high), annoying~
Try with +gather food
If you get no such message then its just RNGesus denying you entry to fish heaven. -

If you aren't getting as many "big fish" tugs on your rod, that's just RNG.
If you're getting significantly more big fish getting away, then something might be wonky. -
