"Hold on, I'll get you the Loss Prevention Rope!"
"Oh no! That's not necessary! It's a quick-release rod! That fish must weigh at least ten pounds!" With a slap on his thigh, Da Ye A stared intently at the two broken rod sections drifting away on the river's surface, almost ready to jump in and chase after them!
Listening to Da Ye A's lament, Da Ye Yi scratched his nose and decisively pulled out the Loss Prevention Rope to tie it onto his own rod. Such a big fish would be a shame to lose!
Amidst the chorus of exclamations from nearby fishing buddies, Da Ye A couldn't help but wish he could rush to Anyou Town right now, grab some Wo Liao, and reel that big fish back in! But seeing Da Ye Yi's unwavering focus, he hesitated to leave their spot.
He found a four-and-a-half-meter rod, secured it with the Loss Prevention Rope, then switched to a heavier line and hook. After adjusting their fishing spot slightly, he cast it diagonally into the area they had been fishing.
The big fish had definitely startled the area, but there was no need to worry; there were surely still some Wo Liao down below. In no more than thirty minutes, they would gather the fish back again!
At the shop, the two unreliable ones were busy promoting rods. Sun Lang sat behind the counter watching their performance without intervening. When Shi Tian arrived, he stood up and handed him a cigarette before returning to his seat.
"Is this guy local? Why is he asking for a Hand Rod instead of an Iso Rod? Getting an Iso Rod for sea fishing is way better than catching saltwater fish!" Xiao Yu casually mentioned as he handed over a four-and-a-half-meter rod and a six-meter Mi San rod to the customer.
"I don't know how to fish; this rod is for a friend. He heard that rods here are cheaper than online, so he specifically asked me to buy two." The Bro flipped through the rod in his hands and casually remarked before confirming everything was fine and scanning to pay.
"You should remind your friend that this rod won't be cheap for long! We're running a promotion right now; after the New Year, prices will go back up. If he wants a complete set, he should order within these next ten days."
Placing a pile of freebies on the counter, he took out a bag printed with Xingpai Fishing Gear's trademark and started putting items inside before handing it over. "The shop is small; we can't test the rod here. Let me take you across to the beach to check it out!"
After saying that, he casually picked up a sample Iso Rod and grabbed a handful of Black Bream Bait before heading out with Bro.
"Interesting! The guy buys a Hand Rod while you're taking him to check out an Iso Rod—what's your angle?"
As the stormy group led the customer across, Shi Tian turned to Sun Lang and said, "Tonight, let's take stock of the rods in the shop. Send everything except for that Boat Rod over to Old Lin. We're going to focus on selling quality products from now on!" Saying this, Shi Tian picked up his Smart Rod and began demonstrating it with his phone for Sun Lang.
"How do you price this rod?" Watching Shi Tian's demonstration made Sun Lang feel like it was time for him to upgrade his own set.
"This feature is interesting; I probably won't be able to live without it in the future. What Shi Tian is creating isn't just a rod; it's an experience! But it's still just getting started; there are improvements needed."
"If we keep this price before New Year’s, after the holiday we can align with online prices."
"For now, let's not rush selling rods in-store; let things flow naturally! After New Year’s, we can sell the same rods for double the price—doesn't that sound appealing?"
He reminded Sun Lang of this and also suggested that he keep an eye on those two unreliable ones.
Thinking it was unreliable, Shi Tian quickly ran over to the other side. He hoped they wouldn't mislead customers just to sell a few rods.
"Brother, let’s demonstrate with this rod in my hand. Just watch!" After saying this, Xiao Yu cast his line along the Fishing Platform with the bait in hand, then hooked a few Plastic Particles onto the Iso Rod. As he released the line, he began to reel it in.
They had been doing this for the past couple of days, and the fish were going crazy. With the line dropped, after a few steps, a Yellowfin Snapper was pulled up.
Once the fish was caught, Xiao Yu handed the rod to the customer and guided him step by step on how to reel in.
"Brother, just to clarify, this is our rod and our bait. The fish you catch belongs to us. If you want to take it home, we can give you a discount."
Right now, wild sea bream weighing over half a pound were selling for more than a hundred. Just catching ten pounds could easily exchange for a new rod!
With the rod in the customer's hands, another fish was caught—a Black Sea Bream weighing nearly two pounds. Xiao Yu quickly removed the fish and tossed it into the Fish Bucket, adding to their store's inventory.
This fish weighed two pounds and would be worth around two hundred if sold. "Your skills are truly impressive!" he flattered while reloading the Hook with more Plastic Particles. Let’s see how much we can get from you!
After several casts, this Bro felt like he had a protagonist's aura! In less than half an hour, he had caught three fish. If it were his own rod, he could have made his money back in no time!
"Brother, now that you know the fishing process, we don’t have rivers here so we can’t demonstrate with a Hand Rod. If you want to test it out, find a place with a river to fish. Feel free to contact us anytime if you have questions; you’ll enjoy the same after-sales service as if you bought online."
After taking back the rod from the customer and checking the Fish Bucket for fish inside, Xiao Yu directly headed back to the store.
"How much is this rod? I want to buy it!" Just when he felt that excitement, someone snatched the rod away—how could he tolerate that?
"Alright, let’s go to the store to pay. I’ll get you a complete set and throw in three packs of that bait I used earlier."
Just got started and feeling unstable; he couldn’t let that happen. First, he would give away three packs of bait as support; once they ran out, that would be another way to hook him completely.
Once he bought the rod, this brother would definitely come back over to fish again. Not to mention anything else; if he caught fish, he'd need something to store them in. It seemed like it was time to prepare some Fish Buckets!
