I was never one to use bobbers while fishing, only the occasional trap and cork bobber when fishing for the legendaries... I have no clue why, probably because I fished fine with just bait and I barely carry my rod anyway now that I'm in late-game. Lately I started using bobbers since I'm now focusing on crafting everything for perfection, and I might as well use the things I craft lol.

I got the bright idea to try out the barbed hook + quality bobber with some challenge bait, then went to the beach on a rainy day and I'm kinda proud of my loot! :D will def use bobbers/tackle more now lol

Edit: it's not a lot, but I started at night hoping to catch some eels
