#### **Bonuses - explained**

**Cooldown:** When you get stung by a bee, you're unable to fish for a period of time. Some fishing rods reduce the time of a cooldown, and the Ancient Rod makes you immune to the Bee Sting.

**Fishing reel:** Once you've caught a fish, you start to reel it in. The Fishing Reel Speed bonuses reduce the time which take you to collect your fish, by increasing the "reel speed".

## Competitive fishing

We have done many fishing competitions with a live Leaderboard of winners:
