Speculation regarding ARR fish?

[Ninster]

Pretty much agree with Lodinn. I didn't really have much trouble with any of the Feast of Famine fish. Naturally this was at the same time I was running Midas 20 times a day because my loot rolls sucked.

On the other hand... Magic Mushroom is my new nemesis, usurping the spot that Fingers created (1-hour window was just evil). I'm not entirely sure if RNG is at play here or if I'm not choosing the right bait. I need a HQ Common Sculpin to mooch this thing with, but between what I've tried (stem borer and glow worm), I seem to be faced with more Least-likely-to-bite Sculpins than anything. Is there any bait/lure that are particularly effective for catching common sculpin?

EDIT: Just been through another window of 0 bites from this thing.

According to http://en.ff14angler.com/ the spinner has a 63% to hook the common sculpin. Stem borer is 46.8% and glow worm is 29.7.

And even running a spinner it took my fisher alt many windows to land that ******.

Thank you, although I managed to nab it just before I saw this. Indeed, this one was such a jerk.
