All Fisch Rods270 rods
Every rod with Luck, Lure Speed, Control, Resilience, the level it needs, its stage and how to get it.
Rod Selection Tips
For Rare Fish
Luck only changes which fish you catch. It raises the odds of Legendary, Mythical, Exotic, Secret and Apex fish and lowers Trash and Common fish.
For Mutations
Some rods add a mutation chance to every catch. Tryhard Rod gives Tryhard (10x value) to every fish caught in the minigame; Fabulous Rod has a 49% chance of Fabulous. Each card below lists the rod's chances.
For Beginners
Moosewood sells cheap starter rods: Training Rod (300 C$), Plastic Rod (750 C$), Carbon Rod (2,000 C$) and Lucky Rod (4,500 C$, +177% Luck).
Fisch Rods by Stage
The Fisch Wiki groups rods into stages along the game's progression, numbered 0 to 11; the starter rods are Stage 1. 94 of the 270 rods also ask for a player level; the others have none (some still need a bestiary, a quest or an event currency). The best ones with no level are in the Rod Advisor. Stages and levels checked October 12, 2026.
