Jig (Fishing)

[chocothief]

I skimmed quick and hadn't noticed this brought up yet, so here it is:

When fishing you wait until you get a bite and then you "jig" to catch the fish. The description for jig says "Apply motion to your fishing rod so as to attract fish". When I first started fishing this was very confusing because I thought I should jig before I had a bite or nibble because I needed to attract fish. It sounds like I am dancing in hopes that fish will become curious and swim over.

Really, jigging is for after a fish bites, at which point you really don't need to "attract" them anymore, unless it means attract them into my inventory.

I'm not super great with language but I think it should say something like "Maneuver your fishing rod in an attempt to land the fish"

Thanks for your time

Even if "Attract" was changed to "land" or "real in" that would be very helpful. I remember having the same issue when I first started fishing, and just about everyone new who comes into my LS says that they get confused about fishing but not botany or mining. I suspect this plays a part in that.
