Is there anyway to cancel Patience II but keeping Identical Cast effect?

If you're using Identical Cast, you can use Prize Catch instead of Patience and avoid needing to deal with inefficient hooking at all, yes.

Not sure the context but for Ocean Fishing - if you're at the point of being able to use Triple Hook, then you probably won't be needing to use Patience much at all outside of trying to catch Placodus or Coral Manta.

Oh, I'm not trying to pop Patience II after IC. But the other way around.

Usually, at the beginning of Ocean Fishing, we use Patience II to quickly increase Angler's Stacks to prep up for the big combo for the Spectral Current. But if unfortunately (or fortunately... depending how you see it), the Spectral Current gets spawned early, then the Patience II will become a hindrance for using the DH>IC>PC>TH combo, as it will cause "misses" on DH or TH. So we would usually just cancel the Patience II if we already earned a few Angler's Stacks (even if just 3 stacks).

But if I'm soooo unfortunate that the Spectral gets spawned almost right after Patience II was popped (1 or even zero stacks earned), then I'd try to catch a few fish in that Spectral with Patience II active... hopefully at least get 3 stacks before cancelling it. However, if I'm soooooo, sooo unfortunate that during those catches, the "right fish" gets hooked. That's the situation I want to IC it (and continue with combo), but I'm already under Patience II and I can't move to cancel it, so I just dunno what to do! Looks like there's no way out... Probably should just give up combo-ing on the fish... Finish getting 3 stacks, and then cancel Patience II, and move on. It'd be way too risky to conduct IC>PC>TH under Patience II... It'd be so horrible to just "miss" after that big combo, LOL! And it's probably not worth the GP to just IC>Precision/Powerful Hookset either... That merely gives 1 extra large fish of the desired kind, but spending 400 GP...

Try Patience I or Prize Catch instead when your GP is capped, in that case.

Typically you want to have as much GP going into a spectral as you can and using Patience II prohibits that.
