High Test Fishing Line

A meaningful share of the reel-ins that should have produced something give you a snapped line instead, and you never find out what you lost. This removes that outcome completely. It changes nothing about what you catch or how quickly, it only stops the game quietly eating results.

It comes out of the Angler reward pool, and he refuses to hand over a second while one is sitting in your inventory, a portable chest or a loadout. That check only switches off once you hold every fishing and information accessory he gives out, so keep what you have on you if you are still working through the rest of the set.

Long term it folds into the Angler Tackle Bag, which is where it belongs, because none of the individual fishing accessories deserve a slot on their own once you are past the early game. Shimmer will also swap it for the earring or the tackle box if you end up one item short of a recipe.
