Fishing rods are the heart of Fisch, defining how fast you catch fish, your chance for rare finds, and the type of mutations you can trigger. As of the latest update, there are over 60 different rods in the game, each offering unique stats, effects, and passive bonuses.
Whether you’re a beginner just starting out with the Flimsy Rod or a veteran wielding the powerful Evil Pitchfork, understanding rod progression is key to leveling up and earning money efficiently. This guide covers every stage of rod progression — from early-game rods to high-level end-game tools — with clear recommendations for each phase of your journey.
Rod Stats Explained
Before diving into the list, it’s important to understand the five key rod stats that affect your gameplay:
- Lure Speed: Determines how fast fish bite. A high lure speed reduces the need for “shaking.”
- Luck: Affects your odds of catching rarer fish. There are two kinds — Universal (applies to all fish) and Preferred (specific to bait preferences).
- Control: Impacts how wide your control bar is while reeling in.
- Resilience: Reduces fish movement, making them easier to catch.
- Max Kg: Sets the maximum fish weight your rod can handle — critical for catching larger species.
