Fishing Rods are a Fischerman's most common tool used for catching fish in Fisch. When players join the game, they receive a free Flimsy Rod to begin their fishing adventure. There are 59 different kinds of rods in total, of which 32 are purchasable (4 of which are for ), 6 are unlockable, 9 are unobtainable, and 10 are craftable.

Every rod has a unique set of pros and cons. The main purpose of this balance is to ensure that no single rod in a tier outperforms the others.

There are 2 categories of fishing rods that are important for their own features, which are stats, and enchant.

Each fishing rod has 5 unique stats, which are:

Lure Speed - affects how quickly the rod attracts fish.
Luck - increases the chances of catching rarer fish.
- There are 2 kinds of luck in Fisch:
  - Universal - applies to all fish, this is the type of luck that rods and certain baits have.
  - Preferred - only applies to certain fish; this type can only be found on baits.
Control - increases the size of the control bar when reeling in a fish.
Resilience - Reduces the movement of the bar/fish icon while reeling in a fish.
Max Kg - the maximum weight of catchable fish. If a rod's Max Kg is below a fish's minimum possible weight, it cannot catch said fish.

All rods can be enchanted with an Enchant Relic. To enchant a rod, take it to the Keepers Altar, which can be reached by visiting the Statue of Sovereignty and paying 400C$ to Cole.

Note: You must pay Cole every time you visit Keeper's Altar.

Casting increases how far you can cast your rod out by, perfect casts are the maximum you can cast it out
Perfect catches give you 10C$ and multiply the XP you gain from the fish you caught by 1.5x, and in the case of some rods activate a special passive.

Tips

The Training Rod has a small resilience buff; making it a bit easier to catch fish, which is great for beginners. However, it is not a good rod for earning money.

Notes and Bug Finds

There's a bug where you equip the rod but you're in the stance of when you hold a fish. The rod floats by your right hand. You can do this glitch by selecting a random fisch then equipping a rod while lagging.
