Metin2 fishing: level 30 start, rods and bait, the click minigame, and what grilled fish do

Metin2 fishing guide
Fishing opens at level 30 and plays differently from combat skills. You need a rod and bait, stand in front of water, and then a small timing minigame decides whether you catch anything.
Getting started
Equip the rod, right-click the bait to attach it, and press spacebar to cast while standing in front of water. A window opens. Click the fish three times while it sits inside the red circle. The yellow bar at the bottom is your remaining time, and each failed click eats into it. Three successful clicks give you a chance to catch something.
Rods
There are two. The Fishing Pole is bought from the Fisherman for 5,000 Yang and can be upgraded through 20 levels with points. Upgrades carry a success chance, and a failed upgrade costs you 10% of the points. The Carbon Fibre Fishing Rod is crafted by the Fisherman, lasts 30 days, and improves your odds on rare fish. A higher pole level widens the pool of rare fish you can hook.
Bait and helpers
Worm and paste come from the Fisherman. Minnow and freshwater shrimp come from fishing. The wiki notes no known difference in what each bait attracts. Two optional items improve the session: the Fishing Marble shows what is on your hook for 20 minutes, and the Fishing Book raises your chance of attracting rare fish, doubles your chance of catching them, and also shows the hook.
What you catch
Everything you land goes to your inventory. Opening a fish can kill it, send it back to deep water, or leave you with fishbones, a clam or a worm. Dead fish can be grilled on a bonfire, and grilled fish restore HP or SP or grant short buffs. Among the rare catches, Goldfish raises experience gain by 50% for 30 minutes and Yabby doubles it for 30 minutes. Silver, gold and kelpie keys open matching treasure chests. The Golden Tuna can appear once per 24 hours and has its own set of outcomes.
