Speculation regarding ARR fish?

[IrealiTY]

Thanks for the help. I just finished Feast of Famine yesterday and I'm just one big fish away from saying goodbye to ARR fishing (minus whatever odd fish I might need for HW crafting). To this end I've been conflicted with regards to old lures and bait.

Bait I'm sure I can safely sell, the gil loss I can make up very easily, not to mention it's cheap in general to purchase if, say, I suddenly need Fish Glue again. Or more likely Shark Oil.

Lures, I'm not so sure. They're (comparatively) expensive to purchase, but I can't remember a fish that specifically required me to use a lure outside of big fish. Would it be safe to liquidate my lure stock on my retainer now that I'm pretty much done in ARR zones? I'm sort of hesitant ESPECIALLY since Feast of Famine just dropped 50 streamers in my lap.

Trying to get endoceras at the moment... I think I caught 15 Coelacanthus and 0 Endoceras... getting frustrating.
Did you change gear or anything?

No, that's just RNG. Also, mind time/weather, appspot helps.
Was like 7 Coelas for me although, so you're in a bad luck.

Gathering/perception in-game descriptions could be totally better, with % chance or something. A lot of comments on ff14angler are mere speculations, especially the "Need powerful hookset" bs. That's not even knowing what skill does in the first place -_-
Bottom line - not all comments are good.

But riddle me this, how high is the chance that with a fair RNG and skill descriptions one would get 0 HQ Mahars out of 14 totally caught, all in Patience windows? 0 out of 6 caught in Patience II windows?
That's when the painful RNG starts
