Best Fisch Rods to Wish for in the Fischmas 2025 Update

Fischmas 2025 is a few days away, but the excitement for free rods and other rewards is at an all-time high. And to add more steam to the engine, the developers revealed a Santa’s wishlist in Fisch. Yes, you can pick one of your favorite Fisch rods during the event and get it for absolutely free. In this guide, we will suggest the best Fisch rods to wish for during the Fischmas update, which ones are eligible, and how to do it.

Best Fisch Rods to Wish from Santa

Picking up the right Fisch rod from Santa’s request can be game-changing, as it will help you get secret or special fishes easily. Moreover, you will make more money as you use a better rod. That said, here are our recommendations for the best Fisch rods to wish for during Fischmas 2025:

1. Polaris Serenade

Stats	Passive
Lure Speed: 100% Luck: 400% Control: 0.4 Resilience: 40% Max Kg: infkg	+30% Progress Speed 4% chance to fill the progress bar rapidly 18% chance for Serene (8x) Every 72 seconds the player gains a Quiet (3x) fish with +3% Shiny/Sparkling chance, with every perfect catch reducing the time by 24 seconds

Polaris Serenade is the strongest pick for Fischmas because its stats work together in a way that pushes every catch forward with almost no wasted time. It has 100 percent lure speed, 400 percent luck, and a wide 70 percent control bar, which makes even rare fish feel easy to land.

The rod’s passives add another layer of power, with 30 percent progress speed, multiple Fisch mutation boosts, including the power to get a boosted shiny rate. Nothing else in the wishlist lineup matches this mix of speed, reliability, and free shiny potential.

2. Astralhook

Stats	Passive
Lure Speed: 100% Luck: 200% Control: 0.2 Resilience: 20% Max Kg: infkg	+15% Progress Speed Every 2-4 seconds Stars fall increasing progress by 15% Every 12 catches spawns pool which lasts 45s and applies Astral (3x) at a 80% chance to all players Perfect casts followed by perfect catches grant a 10% chance to catch any Non-Limited and Non-Special Fish and apply Stardust (4x)

The Astralhook Rod is one of the strongest money makers because its constant star drops speed up catches and ignore the usual progress limits, which lets you reel in tougher fish without losing time. Every twelfth catch triggers an Enchanted Pool that boosts Astral mutations for everyone nearby, turning even basic fishing sessions into high-value catches.

Moreover, perfect casts can upgrade normal fish into rarer ones with Stardust applied, adding another steady profit source on top of its speed. All of this makes the rod ideal for farming both cash and progress while keeping each catch fast and reliable.

3. Chrysalis

Stats	Passive
Lure Speed: 100% Luck: 150% Control: 0 Resilience: 100% Max Kg: infkg	+10% Progress Speed 92% chance for Bloom (4x) 8% chance for Flora (7x) 20% chance for an eye to spawn and catch an additional fish with Flora and additional 20% to either be Shiny / Sparkling or both

If you are struggling to catch fishes, there is nothing better than 100% resilience on a rod. That is why Chrysalis is a great option, along with being visually stunning. On top of that, it is a great money maker rod due to the guaranteed Bloom mutation.

The extra Flora chances and the eye effect that pulls in bonus fish mean you often walk away with more profit than you expected from a single cast. It also has enough speed and luck to keep catches quick, so the low control rarely gets in the way.

4. Fabulous Rod

Stats	Passive
Lure Speed: 100% Luck: 500% Control: 0 Resilience: 50% Max Kg: infkg	+25% Fish Size. 26% chance for Fabulous (9.3x) Every 0.25 seconds 25% chance to Slash for 3% progress. After 3 Slash gain the following: +0.2 Control +200% Forced Progress Speed. Effects gradually diminishing over a span of 3 seconds

The Fabulous Rod is built for late-game profit because its automatic slashes keep adding progress even when the fish is not moving, which speeds up every catch and cuts down wasted time. Once the third slash triggers, the rod gains extra control and a burst of forced progress, letting you tackle high-value fish with almost no struggle. But that is not where it stops!

It comes with high luck and a strong chance for the Fabulous mutation, which means many catches jump in value, making long sessions far more profitable. I suggest you get this rod from Santa during the Fischmas 2025 if you want fast, reliable income and rare fish farming.

5. Cinderstring

Stats	Passive
Lure Speed: 95% Luck: 175% Control: 0 Resilience: 70% Max Kg: infkg	+10% Progress Speed After 2 Perfect Catches for 30 seconds receive: 20% chance for Scorched (3x) 5% chance for Infernal (7x) +25% Progress Speed +10% Luck -20% Resilience -0.05 Control After 2 additional Perfect Catches for 1 minute receive: +100% Progress Speed 15% chance for Infernal (7x) 50% chance for Scorched (3x) +25% Luck -40% Resilience -0.15 Control

The Cinderstring is built for players who enjoy challenging their skills because its stage system rewards perfect catches with huge boosts to progress speed and mutation chances. As the rod levels up mid-reeling, you gain faster catches and far higher odds for Scorched and Infernal mutations, which can turn even routine fish into major money makers.

The tradeoff is shrinking control and resilience, but those risks pay off when a mutation triggers and multiplies your profit. It becomes one of the best rods for players who want high-reward gameplay instead of a relaxed fishing session. If you love to show your fishing skills, this Fisch rod is the one to wish for in Fischmas 2025.

6. Nates Blade

Stats	Passive
Lure Speed: 99% Luck: 444% Control: 0 Resilience: 44% Max Kg: infkg	Control bar gradually increases in size whilst catching a fish. +20% Lure Speed. +100% weight buff to all fish caught. 100% chance to obtain one of the three mutations: Lumpy (2x) Rockstar (2x) Bubblegum (2x) All three Mutations have equal chances. 25% chance per fish movement to stab for +6% progress. +50% Progress Speed

If you want to make money fast in Fisch, Nates Blade is a good option because every catch boosts weight value, upgrades stability, and guarantees a mutation, which turns even average fish into high-profit pulls. The growing control bar makes hard fish easier the longer you fight them, so you lose fewer catches and rake in more consistent returns.

Its steady progress boosts the speed up every catch cycle, letting you farm faster than most rods in its tier. Players who want reliable profit without relying on luck spikes will get strong value from this rod.

7. Fallen Snowblade

Stats	Passive
Lure Speed: 75% Luck: 319% Control: 0.39 Resilience: 15% Max Kg: 21,512,406kg	10% chance to fill the progress bar instantly During Winter: +75% Progress Speed, 45% chance for Snowy (6x), 55% chance for Frozen (1.5x) During Spring and Autumn: +50% Progress Speed, 25% chance for Snowy, 75% chance for Frozen During Summer: +25% Progress Speed, 5% chance for Snowy, 95% chance for Frozen

One of the most unique rods you can wish for during the event is the Fallen Snowblade. It comes with seasonal bonuses that help improve progress speed, helping catch fishes fast. Its high control keeps tough fish steady, and the frequent Snowy or Frozen mutations add solid value with almost no effort from the player.

The instant progress chance also creates quick burst catches that keep your pace fast, even when luck dips. It is a simple rod that consistently turns time into profit, no matter the season. You can combine unique Fisch enchantments to make the seasonal bonus stats even stronger.
