First session route

Beginner guide

From the tackle shop to your first upgrade, this route follows only mechanics confirmed by the developer.

01

Visit Earl's

Collect the free starter rod at Earl's Seminole Bait & Tackle before buying anything.

02

Learn the underwater view

Aim your cast, follow the lure underwater, and watch how bass approach before the strike.

03

Work the lure

Use twitch and reel. Switch between worm, crankbait, spinnerbait and topwater frog as you test presentations.

04

Set and fight

Set the hook when a bass strikes. Larger fish are harder to land, so keep control through the fight.

05

Sell and improve

Sell your catch and put cash toward better rods, reels or lures. Your cash, gear and fish save.

06

Explore the lake

Take the Langer X500 from the Sneads Park ramp toward cypress-lined creeks and bluffs.

What to upgrade first

There is no verified public stat table yet, so compare shop descriptions and choose the upgrade that solves your current limitation. Use the cash goal planner to estimate the number of sales left.
