"Big Bow! This fish is no small catch, Brother, do you have the Ping Net? If not, we're in trouble!" Listening to the splashing water, Shi Tian hurriedly leaned over to ask.
"Yes, it's in the trunk. Go grab it; the keys are in my pocket!" The excitement was evident on Brother's face as he revealed a long-lost smile. This was the biggest fish he had ever hooked in his fishing career, and he had to treat it seriously! Once he brought this fish up, he planned to parade it around the neighborhood three times before showing it off to his wife, saving himself from her constant teasing about not being able to catch a big one.
After retrieving the Ping Net with the keys, he quickly assembled it in front of Driver Brother.
Click!
"Oh no!" With a chorus of "oh no" from the nearby fishermen, just as the Ping Net was assembled, the rod snapped!
With a sharp and regretful sound, Driver Brother's thigh visibly plumped up with frustration.
"This cast doesn't count; I'll throw again! That fish hasn't gone far!" He glanced at Shi Tian and dashed back to the car. Opening the trunk, he pulled out two more rods. Today, he was determined to land that fish!
Not wanting Shi Tian to get bored, he handed him one rod and thoughtfully provided a small fishing chair. He rigged up the other rod with a fishing set and decided to use a stronger line this time, just in case.
Shi Tian couldn't leave; he was his lucky charm. With him around, Brother felt confident about catching big fish.
Watching Driver Brother's flurry of activity, Shi Tian was somewhat dumbfounded. Another cast? At this rate, were they planning to stay out all night?
Now that they had the Chang Gan, even if the rod was a bit rough around the edges, it would do for now. It was definitely better than that set he had bought for fifty dollars!
"Brother, you really need to upgrade your gear. Get a reliable rod; otherwise, we'll lose another fish like earlier—what a shame! That fish must have weighed at least twenty pounds!"
Casually chatting, Shi Tian grabbed a piece of bait from Last Cast's stash, kneaded it in his hands for a moment, hooked it on, and tossed it into the river.
"I'll change rods in two weeks; I have my eye on a Bao Feilong set but still need four hundred bucks. How about this: you cover my car expenses for a day of fishing? I'll provide the rod and bait, and then I can buy it!"
"If that doesn't work out, I can pay you back in installments later. Just let me swap out this rod; I can earn back that money in just two weeks of driving!"
Upon hearing about changing rods, Last Cast nodded in agreement. "If we had used a sturdier rod today, that fish would have been ours!"
"It's all about the gear! Otherwise, I'd be breaking records again. From two pounds to twenty pounds—what a tenfold increase!"
It could even be bigger; maybe it would surpass what they caught before—thirty pounds? Or even forty? No wonder it snapped his rod! That fish had to be over forty pounds!
Thinking of this made him slap his thigh again—but this time he hit the swollen spot from earlier and winced in pain.
Hearing Last Cast's yelp of agony startled Shi Tian.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing, just a mosquito! What a pity about that big fish, it must have weighed at least forty pounds!"
Shaking his head, Shi Tian sighed and said, "Bao Feilong and Rod are not bad, but it's better to invest in the right equipment all at once! Have you heard of the Star Brand Rod? It's the one that caught the Finless Porpoise before. That Rod is great; it feels much better than Bao Feilong and is even sturdier!"
"Last Cast is impressive! You need to replace the whole set at once! Too bad I'm a bit broke and don't have any spare cash!"
However, he was currently in a buying phase, and Shi Tian felt he needed to guide things properly. Once he got his hands on the Star Brand Rod, he wouldn't need to bother with any Bao Feilong or Yidawa anymore!
"Xing Brand? The Rod that caught the Finless Porpoise is from Xing Brand? Is it sturdy?" When Shi Tian mentioned Xing Brand, Last Cast immediately asked back.
But he was set on Bao Feilong and wouldn't just switch Rods based on Shi Tian's casual comment; he would need to do some thorough research first!
Even if he did check, his first choice would still be Bao Feilong. After all, it was a target he had been planning for months; he couldn't let someone else's words change that!
The Finless Porpoise weighs around twenty pounds at birth, and the one caught was over a meter long; it must weigh at least fifty or sixty pounds—definitely sturdy! Shi Tian frowned as he replied to Last Cast. This argument lacked persuasion; he'd have to get a few Rods to keep on hand.
"I have a set. I'll have someone send it over for you to try. Ever since I started using the Star Brand Rod, I just tossed aside the previous ones I bought; their quality isn't even in the same league!"
After saying this, Shi Tian took out his phone and called Sun Lang, asking him to send over a set of Xing Brand Ordinary Rods. Although he came to Xishuangbanna to avoid some old men, as a holder of Xing Brand products, it was also his duty to promote Xingpai Fishing Gear from time to time!
While Shi Tian was on the phone, Last Cast also pulled out his phone and searched for Xingpai Fishing Gear. He had never heard of this brand before; could it be reliable? It wouldn't be some cheap knockoff, would it?
