How do Perception and Fishing Skill actually work in TWW?

Hey everyone!
I’d like to share some observations and maybe get more info on how Perception and Fishing Skill actually affect fishing in TWW.

Here are my current stats with all buffs:
Perception – 925
Fishing Skill – 441

These stats include both Search Thread and Fishing Thread (100 of each), which I keep attached to a rod in my backpack. I’m fishing with a different rod that gives a +120 Perception buff.

Now here’s the strange part: ever since I attached the threads and increased both Perception and Fishing Skill by +100 each, I’ve been seeing the “due to your perception you caught more resources” message less often.

In one full hour of fishing in Az-Kahet, I saw this message only twice, and both times it was with Cursed Undeadfish.
On top of that, I’m frequently catching gray junk—sometimes 3–4 times in a row.

From my testing, it actually feels like I’m earning less than before I attached the threads.

So, I wanted to ask the community—
Has anyone seen any official or unofficial info about the chances for double catch procs or how the Fishing Skill actually affects loot quality?

Hello! Well I personaly think its quite Weird/Dubious stat, Does it work? My Personal take is it only marginaly Increases your chance to get rare items/fish etc. Nothing Crazy. So it might “work” but It is very marginal gain.
