Fishing in Blox Fruits has become one of the most rewarding side activities, and the Gold Rod is a major upgrade that every angler should aim for. This rod is classified as Uncommon and was added on August 23, 2025. Compared to the basic fishing rods, it offers better performance, making it easier to catch rare fish and progress further in fishing. If you’re wondering how to unlock and craft the Gold Rod, here’s a step-by-step guide.
Where to Get the Gold Rod
The Gold Rod can be crafted through the Angler NPC, who is found across different seas:
- First Sea – Skylands
- Second Sea – Green Zone
- Third Sea – Hydra Island
Currently, some reports suggest that the crafting process may only work in the First Sea, so it’s best to head there to ensure success.
Requirements to Unlock the Recipe
Before crafting, you need to meet a few conditions:
- Reach Fishing Level 50
- Complete at least 20% of your Fishing Trainable Passives
- (Optional but recommended) Finish 15 Angler quests, as some players report this helps unlock the recipe properly.
Once these requirements are met, you’ll be able to access the Gold Rod recipe.
Crafting Materials for the Gold Rod
To craft the Gold Rod at the Angler, prepare the following items:
- $500,000 cash
- 4 Wooden Planks
- 3 Scrap Metals
These materials can be obtained through fishing progression and general gameplay, so make sure you’ve been stocking up.
Why You Should Get the Gold Rod
The Gold Rod is not only a status upgrade—it makes fishing far more efficient. With stronger stats, you’ll have a better chance of catching rare fish, earning more rewards, and progressing faster with Angler quests. The Gold Rod is one of the key fishing tools in Blox Fruits, bridging the gap between casual fishing and serious progression.
By completing quests, leveling up your fishing skill, and gathering the required resources, you’ll unlock one of the most useful rods in the game. If you’re stuck, try completing extra Angler quests in the First Sea until the recipe becomes available.
