Update: We’ve updated our guide to include the new stats for fishing rods in Fisch, as well as the removal of the Second Sea.

In the Roblox experience Fisch , it’s just you and your fishing rod against the world.

With dozens of fish , cephalopods and whales to land ranging from tiny, tasty anchovies to giant, otherworldly squid and sea serpents, your equipment needs to be up to the task of reeling in even the strangest of deep sea fish.

However, because they’re very expensive, you progress through the available fishing rods in Fisch quite slowly, and it’s very easy to splurge your entire budget on something that doesn’t quite fit your needs.

There are also a couple of rods that are required for fishing in unique areas like the magma-filled Roslit Volcano and caustic Brine Pool .

Here’s where to find every fishing rod in Fisch , including how much it costs and the stats you can expect it to come with.

What are the best rods in Fisch?

At the beginning of your adventure, the best rods to choose in Fisch are either the Plastic Rod or the Carbon Rod . This is because they’re reliable and have good Luck stats while also boasting enough Resilience to actually give you a chance at catching rarer fish.

Then as you approach the mid-game, if you played while Dr Finneus’ Archaeological quest was active, the Relic Rod is a solid upgrade. However, if you’re only looking for readily available fishing rods, then go for either the Noctural Rod or the Rapid Rod .

The Noctural Rod has great Luck and serviceable speed, as well as enough maximum weight to catch most of the rarest fish. It’s great for filling out your Bestiary and exploring. However, if you’re trying to grind out money, the Rapid Rod allows you to catch full inventories of fish much more quickly than other rods you’ve had up to this point.

You can bridge the gap with the Scurvy Rod next if you like, but it’s probably better to just grit your teeth up to getting the Mythical Rod or the Trident Rod .

The Mythical Rod is a money-making machine, turning a large percentage of your catches into lucrative mutations, while also just being a good all-rounder.

On the other hand, the Trident Rod is one of the best in the game at catching difficult fish because of its huge Luck stat and special ability which can stun fish and make them easier to reel in. It’s also fast and easy to use, with its only weakness being a lack of Resilience in its base form.

Finally though, the best fishing rod in Fisch is the Heaven’s Rod . Despite its huge price tag, it enables incredible power fishing and will allow you to fill out your bestiary and complete the game with relative ease.

Now, once you reach the late game in Fisch, you can a range of great rods with unique and interesting effects. This starts with the luck-boosting Frog Rod , followed by the Mutation-granting Blazebringer Rod and Verdant Sheer Rod .

By that point though, unless you’re going for particularly rare and difficult to catch fish, you probably want to grind up to the ultimate Great Dreamer Rod , which functions similar to the classic Rod of the Depths that catches extra fish for you on every catch.

What do fishing rod stats mean in Fisch?

There are 5 fishing rods stats in Fisch: Lure Speed, Luck, Control, Resilience and Maximum Catch Weight.

Lure Speed determines how quickly you can hook a fish before you start to reel it in. This is when you can click or press on the screen to shake your rod before the progress bar appears. A higher Lure Speed means you won’t have to wait as long between catches, but usually comes at a heavy cost to Luck and Resilience, meaning your catches will be lower quality and tougher to land.

Luck is relatively simple and just gives you a better chance of catching high rarity fish. However, especially in the early game, it usually comes with a very strong penalty to Lure Speed, meaning you’re potentially catching better stuff more often but much less quickly.

In the fish catching mini-fame, some rods have a larger white bar than others. The stat that changes this is called Control and the larger the number the better. You will most likely have noticed the Control stat right at the start of the game if you bought the Training Rod (it has the largest bar of any normal rod). Most rods have the same sized bar, or very slightly different, but two of the recent new late-game rods - the Sunken Rod and Rod of the Depths - have big white bars.

Resilience is a tricky stat which determines how much a fish will jerk around during the catching process. On rods with a negative Resilience value this can make catching - particularly rare - fish quite difficult, but it’s usually used to balance rods with good Luck and Lure Speed already.

Finally, all rods have a Maximum Catch Weight value measured in kilograms. During the early and mid-game this isn’t too much of an issue, but it’s definitely something you need to consider once you start hunting some of the more unique catches in Fisch. The Isonade you need to complete the Vertigo bestiary weighs almost a ton, for example (but hopefully you’ll be rocking something that can cope by then).

If you need a resource boost or some rare bait to add to your lure, check out our round-up of the latest Fisch codes . Or if you need a few more Fisch tips, check-out our Treasure Maps guide , or out list of every Fish in Fisch .
