quality bobber

Hey everyone! I'm honestly at a loss, so I did the Juicy Bugs Wanted quest, got the blank letter off Willy but didn't realise I needed to go to the beach for a cutscene, until an in-game year later... I've gone to the beach in every season on a clear day and nothing is triggering, I'm scared I'm...

I've both turned in 100 bug meat *and* watched the following cutscene, however, the recipe for the Quality Bobber did not appear in my crafting tab. Are there any other qualifications needed or is this a bug?

I've completed the juicy bugs special order and checked with the stardew check-up. I dont know if i got the mail from willy afterwards or not, but my mailbox is empty. The only recipe I'm missing still is the quality bobber still. What can i do? Did i miss something?

It does not seem to "boosts the quality". Even tried at the Desert to fish gold quality scorpion carp in case the boost "ends" at gold and iridium is still requiring a perfect catch. Got only silver. Thought then maybe it only boosts the price when selling but that's not the case either. Anyone...

In the constructor for BobberBar there is this code: if (this.whichBobber == 877) { this.fishQuality++; if (this.fishQuality > 2) { this.fishQuality = 4; } } 877 is the index of the quality bobber. whichBobber is not set until the end of the method, so will always be 0...
