I see no evidence of the latter in the game code, all it says is "if (Game1.player.FishingLevel < 5 && this.beginnersRod) this.bobberBarHeight += 40 - Game1.player.FishingLevel * 8;"
===Bar Size===
===Bar Size===
The green rectangle increases in size with higher fishing skill level. At Fishing level 0, the bar size has a length of 96 pixels. This is increased by 8 pixels for every increase in fishing level, so that at level 10, the bar size has a length of 176 pixels. The bar size can be further increased by using either the [[Cork Bobber]] or increasing the fishing level past level 10 by using an enchant at the [[Forge]] or with food [[buffs]]. The maximum possible bar size is therefore 248 pixels, which can be achieved with level 10 fishing, using the cork bobber, using the Master Enchant at the Forge, and eating [[Seafoam Pudding]] with [[Qi Seasoning]].

The total number of pixels of the entire rectangle is 568.
The upgraded fishing rods (''i.e.,'' [[Fiberglass Rod]] and [[Iridium Rod]]) do '''not''' affect the bar size. However, using the [[Training Rod]] does affect the bar size; it sets the player's fishing skill equal to level 5 for the purposes of determining how big to make the green bar, even after the player passes level 5.
