The best combo for fish some pipira is Windurst Woods (dhamael farm bridge) with Halcyon rod + Minnow lure. :)
I also found this to be the best place to fish Pipira. I used a Tarutaru fishing rod instead of a Halcyon rod (I've never even heard of or seen this rod). Currently I'm a skill level 30 fisherman (novice). I needed 7 Pipiras for guild points and catched them within 20 minutes of fishing, als caught 1 copper ring, no line breaks or mis catches.
Pipira are one of those particularly picky fishies. Lots of other small type fish bite Mithran/Composite/Halcyon rods even tho they are labelled for small fish.
I'm a fan of Comp/Mithran rod combos and I constantly kept getting the "You didn't catch anything" message. But the moment I switched to Carbon rod with same bait (Minnow Lure), I immediately started kicking @$$.
My preferred combo for these is Carbon rod + Minnow Lure.

This is pretty good for raising fishing skill around 20-25. I'm using fastwater rod and meat balls.

Heh, well I was fishing for some moat carp to cut up for cooking skill when, for the heck of it I slap on a Frog lure to my comp. rod :P was really suprised when I ended up with a pipira on the end of the line... caught about 5-6 hopin for some skill up. actually got a 0.1 skill up and leveled to 23 fishing <w00t> so maybe this'll help someone catch em'... idk use it how you will. Just an alternative to all the other places and ways to catch fish.
i was lvl 0 w/ fishing skill with a bamboo rod and sliced carp bait. i was fishing in windurst for crayfish and i caught about 3 of these i just found that kind of weird

So, if you could please help me. Im really only fishing for this fish to make roast pipira. Where is the best place to find them? Please give me advice from experience, like what was the best gear to use, what lvl should you try to fish them. Any help would be much appreciated. Plus, if you help me out and happen to be on Unicorn, ill kick you some gil <(^@^)>. Dillinger "Unicorn" 31 mnk, 24 drg, 15 drk, 15 thf, 15 war, 8 rng, 5 blm, 5 rdm, 5 whm, 5 pld.
I have been jumping around to the Windy and Saru locations and am getting a 3-7% catch rate with Frog Lure and Minnow. Sliced Carp does a little better in Saru, about a 7-8% catch rate, 0% catch rate inside Windy because of Crayfish.
I can't get any catches with Meatballs and haven't tried Lizard Lure or Rouge Rig.
Am I missing something about catching them or are they just a pain to catch?
I'm using the comp. rod only right now and pulled a few at windy, but it's a small fish so try a smaller rod, like the carbon or glass fiber. You need the minnow lure to catch it, and they look to sell pretty good. I wish I could get a stack a little faster!
