I reported the same problem that happened with Sharp's Upgrade during the PTS phase of U38, but ZOS didn't respond with any answers or changes. Maybe they never will.

Also what's wrong with Sharp's bonuses? It only affects the chances of catching extra bait, replacing those drops with another chance at a trophy fish. It doesn't do anything else.

Then you got the point perfectly.

Was it...meant to do something else? Was it advertised differently? What was the issue, because that seems like a perk to me.

It's a perk you can't get rid of and detrimental if all you want is fish for filleting. I've done all the angling achievements, now when I fish I just want Perfect Roe, which doesn't come from trophy fish
Hi everyone, we’d like to address the concerns raised in this thread about the Sharp’s Patience Companion Perk and clear up a few things.
For context, here’s the patch note for this perk:
“Sharp provides ‘Sharp’s Patience’ which offers an improved chance at finding trophy fish and slightly reducing reel time."
We hear your concerns about if the increase in trophy fish will result in an overall decrease in value. The short answer is no. Here are the main takeaways:We hope that helps clear up any concerns about this perk. Please let us know if you have any follow-up questions.
- The appearance rate of Pyandonean Bottles, Waterlogged Psijic Satchels, and Gunny Sacks are not influenced by Sharps Patience; the overall appearance rate of these items has not changed.
- With this perk, players can catch fish faster overall due to decreased reel time.
- Sharp’s Patience perk does stack with the Champion Passive Reel Technique. They are calculated separately. You can benefit from both simultaneously, as well as with other fishing buffs and food such as Artaeum Pickled Fish Bowl, and fishing with friends.
- Percent chance of catching bait (Chub, Minnow, Shad, and non-perfect fish roe) has been reduced with Sharp's passive. The increase in trophy fish is offset specifically by the reduction of these items.

Thanks for the quote, I missed this information since it did not directly appear in the relevant feedback thread of the PTS section. It's good news for players who unlocked Sharp's passive, and I wonder whether it will be the same mech on Ember's.
