Update October 2024
We’ve added new Fisch rods that were introduced in the Desolate Dwelling update. Meet Reinforced and Trident rods!
The fishing rod is the most important item in the game, as you won’t catch anything with positive thoughts. Because of that, your first order of business is to find the best rod and pair it with a good bait. This rod locations list in Fisch will help you find the best ones.
How to Get the Best Rods in Fisch – All Rod Locations
You can get most of the fishing rods from merchants located on islands. While you’ll easily get early-game rods, you must dig deep to find the best ones. The list of all the rod locations below will help you find the ones you need the most. Remember that rod usefulness depends on the bait you’re using and what you’re trying to catch.

Best Rods for Beginners in Fisch
My favorite rod for the early game is the Carbon Rod, which gives 25% Luck and can pull out 600kg catch (fish, crates, and tires). This rod will serve you well because its versatility gives you enough room to improve and eventually move on to better rods.
Best Early Game Rod & Bait Combo
The best early-game rod and bait combination is the Carbon Rod and Maggot. Pairing them will give you more than enough luck 60% (25% + 35%) to compensate for the total -20 Lure speed. Flakes are another solid bait option to consider (55% Preferred Luck and 10 Lure Speed), while Magnet is super useful when you’re looking for items.
Best End Game Rods in Fisch
King’s Rod is a great choice for the end game, as it has the best Resilience (35) and no limit on catch weight. That said, you can’t go wrong with the Destiny Rod, as it gives you a fantastic 250% Luck bonus. Those are the two most powerful rods; you can find them by visiting secret locations in Fisch.
Best Late Game Rod & Bait Combo
King’s Rod is best combined with Fish Head bait to pull heavy weight. Of course, the Magnet bait is always an excellent choice for items. Having King’s Rod (for C$120,000) allows you to use any bait and still have great results.
Fishing Rod Stats Meaning in Fisch Roblox
When choosing fishing rods in Fisch, look closely at their stats. Each rod has Lure Speed, Luck, Control, Resilience, and Max Kg stats. Here’s what they mean:
- Lure affects the time taken to hook a fish.
- Positive Lure causes fish to be hooked faster
- Negative Lure causes fish to be hooked slower
- Luck affects the chances of catching rare fish
- Positive Luck increases the chance
- Negative Luck decreases the chance
- Universal Luck helps you get the best catch from each fish type. Your chances will increase with each type of fish, including those elusive shiny and dark types.
- Preferred Luck is when you are in an area with a high yield of specific fish. Stacking the Preferred Luck stat with rod and bait increases your chances for big and rare catches.
- Control affects the size of the Fishing Bar in the fishing minigame
- Positive Control makes the Fishing Bar bigger
- Negative Control makes the Fishing Bar smaller
- Resilience affects how energetically the fish moves while you’re catching it.
- Positive Resilience slows fish down
- Negative Resilience speeds fish up
- Max Kg affects the Maximum Weight Fish that can be reeled in. Any fish heavier than the rod limit will be impossible to catch.
