How Do You Pull Out Your Fishing Rod in Far Cry 5?

When you’re ready to pull out your fishing rod in Far Cry 5, it’s as simple as opening up your inventory, selecting the rod, and equipping it. You can then use the left analog stick to cast your line and start fishing.

To access your inventory and equip the rod, press the options button (PS4) or menu button (Xbox One). Then, select “Inventory” from the menu. Scroll down to “Fishing” and press A (Xbox One) or X (PS4). You will find a variety of different rods to choose from – each with its own set of stats.

Select the one that best suits your needs and press A/X again to equip it.

Once you have equipped a rod, open up the map screen by pressing M on PC, View on Xbox One, or Touchpad on PS4. Select your desired location and press A/X to travel there – you can also fast travel by pressing F on PC or Y on Xbox One/PS4 if you have discovered a location before.

Once you arrive at your chosen location, use the left analog stick to cast your line out into the water. This is done by moving the stick in an outward circular motion – make sure not to move it too quickly or you may miss an opportunity for a bite!

When a fish takes the bait, reel it in with quick jerks of the left analog stick – but be careful not to pull too hard! If you do, there’s a chance that you could break your line and lose any chance of catching that particular fish.

Conclusion:

Pulling out your fishing rod in Far Cry 5 is easy – just open up your inventory, select a rod and equip it. Then travel to your desired location using either fast travel or walking there yourself. Finally cast out using the left analog stick in an outward circular motion and when a fish takes the bait reel it in with quick jerks of the left analog stick.
