The Cinderstring Rod in Fisch is one of those items that players chase for both its unique passive and the challenge of unlocking it. While it may sound simple at first, there are a few tricky parts to completing the quest, especially since some items have become rare after certain game changes. This guide will walk you through the full process, requirements, and even how to unlock its special skin.
Requirements for the Cinderstring Rod
To start, you’ll need to gather four items before completing the quest from Wreck:
- Scorched Sea Mine
- Emberflame
- Hogchoker
- Shiny Subspace Crate
Once you have all of these, you can return to Wreck to finish the quest and claim your rod.
Step 1: Getting the Scorched Sea Mine
- Head over to Desolate Deep.
- The sea mine cannot be caught with a fishing rod. Instead, you’ll need crab cages.
- To boost your chances, use Urbalis Totems and buy Men in Luck from Merlin.
- Place as many crab cages as possible, activate your totems, and eventually, you’ll pull up a sea mine.
- Keep in mind: you’ll need to appraise it for the Scorched Mutation, since you can’t fish it directly with a rod.
Step 2: Finding a Hogchoker
Here’s where things get tough. The Second Sea has been removed, which means the Hogchoker is no longer obtainable through fishing. The only current way to get it is through the Trade Plaza, where prices can be steep. Because of this, many players consider the rod harder to obtain than it should be.
Step 3: Getting a Shiny Subspace Crate
- Equip a Destiny Rod with the Quantum Enchantment.
- This gives you a 25% chance to roll a Subspace item when fishing with bait crates.
- Keep fishing until you get the shiny version of the crate needed for the quest.
Step 4: Speak to Wreck
Once you’ve collected all the required items, return to Wreck. He’ll complete the quest and reward you with the Cinderstring Rod.
How to Unlock the Deathstring Skin
The rod also has a special skin called Deathstring. To unlock it:
- Copy your Roblox Profile ID.
- Go back into Fisch and enter your ID backwards.
- Doing this will automatically unlock the Deathstring skin for your rod.

Here’s what the rod offers in battle:

While the passive looks exciting, many players feel the rod isn’t among the strongest in Fisch, especially since the Hogchoker requirement makes it tough to obtain. It can still be fun to use, but don’t expect it to replace your best rods.
The Cinderstring Rod is a great collectible for Fisch players who enjoy chasing rare items and unlocking special skins. However, the difficulty of getting the Hogchoker makes it a grind-heavy quest unless you’re willing to trade. If you do manage to complete the quest, though, you’ll not only get the rod but also the stylish Deathstring skin to show off.
