- Level Editor: The game features a level creator so the player can create their own fishing environment.
- Product Placement: The fishing rods and reels in the game are from SAKURA.
- Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: If the game is played in Realistic Mode, then the player may have trouble finding fish and fish may occasionally get away from the player.
