Fishing Stats Question

For fishing now, is my old Underlight Angler better with it’s +15 to fishing skill or the new green Draconium Fisher Friend with +6 to fishing but also +58 to perception?

My fishing level is 100. Does the +15 fishing of my old legendary actually add anything?

Having tried both, I’m sticking with the Underlight Angler for now. Rare drops (which is really all that matters as you can catch normal fish with either) are so rare that it is hard to tell which is better.

I have noticed that I catch more grey items with the new +perception pole.

I think this is true, but I’m not dying on this hill. If someone can collect some data with several thousand casts, I might reconsider.

It will take a long time to get good data. And it is likely that at the tiny levels of +stat we can currently obtain the difference is miniscule. Maybe at +50 skill or +200 Perception you could see a clear winner.
