It doesn't sound right, but after Binks said "I've been fishing in the ocean" all loftars answers started getting kind of evasive. "should" "I think" "they seem to be". so right now I'm doing 5 lures per trip, with my trips going back and forth between the ocean and a salt water node. I'm assuming since they are rare "space-wise" that means a node of some sort, so if I hit the right node, it should "should" come up the same as getting a coffin plank out of a log..if it does follow the rock paper scissors pattern though and has to be played differently, then that's just mean lol. That would mean hitting the right node, spending multiple lures trying, and having to sacrifice what crappy fish you would normally get.
There is however 1 variable I haven't messed with yet, is their any difference to a shark bait lure made from different types of steaks? Up until now I have exclusively used bear.
