For Call of the Wild: The Angler players, this guide will explain lures and baits in game, let’s check them out.
Tutorial missions tells you the best lures, baits and soft plastics for each fish.
Those informations are different from Handbook and in some cases seems to be wrong and in some cases seems to be better than what you get in Handbook.
It takes few hours to be sure, that the info provided is wrong and force me to give up. So the guide is taking longer than expected and is still WiP.
Any tips and hints to further improve the guide are welcomed, just test it a bit, so it is a good tip and hint.
