Best Rod Progression Guide Fish It Roblox

Fishing in Fish It Roblox isn’t just about casting your line—it’s also about using the right rod to get better catches and faster progression. With so many rods available, from beginner to endgame, it can be tricky to know which ones are worth buying and which ones to skip. This guide breaks down the best progression path so you can save time, coins, and effort while working toward the top-tier rods.

Starting Out: Free Rods and Early Upgrades

When you first spawn on Fisherman’s Island, you’ll start with the starter rod. It’s basic, but enough to begin. Your next stop should be Joe’s Rods, the main shop where most rods can be bought.

• Luck Rod: A solid early choice, with +50% luck, 2% speed, and 15kg weight capacity.
• Lava Rod: Instead of spending coins, complete the quest from the Lava Fisherman at Kahana Volcano. This rod gives +30% luck, 2% speed, and 100kg weight capacity—completely free and better than wasting coins on weaker upgrades.

Tip: You can respawn from the menu to quickly return to the island after collecting your Lava Rod.

Mid-Game Progression: Skipping the Right Rods

Not every rod is worth buying. Some have similar stats, so it’s smarter to skip them and save coins for stronger upgrades.

• Skip Carbon and Grass Rods: They aren’t improvements over Lava or Luck rods.
• Damascus Rod: A good upgrade to aim for after Lava.
• Lucky Rod → Steampunk Rod → Astral Rod: This is the recommended path for steady growth. The Astral Rod, costing around 1 million coins, is the best one available at spawn and a great investment for long AFK farming.

High-Tier Progression: Expensive but Powerful

Once you’ve mastered Astral, the grind gets tougher with rods costing millions of coins.

• Ares Rod (3M coins): Found behind the waterfall at Tropical Grove. Slightly stronger than Astral.
• Angular Rod (8M coins): Located in the Lost Isle inside a dome-like building. Known for its sleek design and considered one of the strongest Mythic rods in the game.

Endgame Goal: Ghost Fin Rod vs Angular Rod

The Ghost Fin Rod is often debated as the true best rod. It’s technically free, but you need to complete very difficult missions at the Lost Isle, including catching a secret fish with just a 1 in 3.5 million chance of spawning. For most players, this is nearly impossible.

That’s why many instead grind for the Angular Rod, since it’s more realistic to obtain with enough coins.

Bonus Tip: Enchant Your Rods

You can make rods even stronger by enchanting them at the Esoteric Depths. Use Enchantment Stones (1 in 8,000 drop chance while fishing) to roll random buffs like:

• Reeler (faster reel speed)
• Leprechaun (+50% luck)
• Prismatic (rainbow boost, considered the best)

If you roll a bad enchant like Cursed, don’t worry—you can reroll with more stones or even use Robux for premium rerolls.

Rod progression in Fish It Roblox is all about smart choices. Instead of wasting coins on weaker rods, focus on free quest rewards like the Lava Rod, invest in the Astral Rod for efficient farming, and then work toward either the Ares or Angular Rod depending on your grind.

If you’re extremely lucky, you may even unlock the Ghost Fin Rod. Pairing these rods with strong enchantments can make your fishing experience smoother and much more rewarding. With patience and the right strategy, you’ll always be one step closer to reeling in the best catches in the game.
