What players say

Players praise Bait & Tackle as a surprisingly polished free game with soul-like difficulty and unique fishing-themed combat. Opinion splits on the controls: some find them clunky or stiff, while others enjoy the deceptively simple mechanics. Several reviewers report that the game does not save progress, forcing them to replay the tutorial each session.
