Re: Fishing Gear Question
You won't always get a line break at >0 stamina. Bear in mind that the rod you use has a lot to do with it too; multiple fish on a sabiki rig adds a lot of "weight" to the catch, and can stress most of the small to medium fishing rods. To be safe, you should be packing at least a Hume Rod or Halcyon Rod to avoid line breaks even in cases where you're at 0 stamina (if not outright rod breaks on the weaker rods like the Fastwater).

EDIT: The above suggestion for the composite rod will work, but the Composite and Mithran Rods, while both more that sturdy enough for this purpose, are "large fish" rods, and will likely produce a "fish was too small to catch with this rod" result. I don't recommend either one of these rods when using a sabiki rig.
