While Fisch offers a wide selection of fishing rods that suit your needs, it might feel a little overwhelming just as you start the game. From varying passives, stats, and price points, selecting the perfect beginner rod is not an easy task. If you need help deciding which rod to begin with, let us help you. We have compiled the best rods for beginners in Fisch for you to go through. So, with that, let’s begin fishing!
1. Steady Rod
It would be unfair to the list of the best Fisch beginner rods if we didn’t start out with the OG Steady Rod. Introduced during the game’s launch, this rod has been one of the best pocket-friendly starter rods that literally lets you catch any fish.
Getting the Steady rod in Fisch is as easy as heading to Roslit Bay and interacting with the NPC Alfie. You can then buy the rod for 7000 Cash. With that, the stats of the rods are:
- Lure Speed: -60%
- Luck: 35%
- Control: 0.05
- Resilience: 30%
- Max Kg: 100,000
Coming at a price of just 7000 cash, the Steady Rod offers you great control, resilience, and max Kg. This helps you easily catch any mythical, legendary, and even exotic fish. The one passive of this rod is to increase the shake UI size, lowering the chances of missing it.
Furthermore, you may try enchanting this rod with the hasty enchant to cope with its one weakness, which is its negative lure speed. If you feel like sticking with this rod, you may enchant it. However, it’s not recommended to do so initially, so save your enchant relics for later use.
2. Brick Rod
Next on our list is a recent addition to Fisch, the Brick Rod. Although finding this rod can get a little bit difficult, the stats at this price will surely attract you.
To get the Brick rod, you must complete the Minish NPC quest, which spawns at the Harvesters Spike only during the Foggy Summer Nights. However, there are a few more steps here. You can follow our guide on how to get the Brick Rod in Fisch for all the help. The stats of the rod are as follows:
- Lure Speed: 0%
- Luck: 75%
- Control: 0.35
- Resilience: 35%
- Max Kg: infinite kg
For 13,337 cash, this rod is surely a steal deal. With such high resilience, control, and other stats, it’s a well-balanced upgrade to the King’s Rod. You can further enchant it with Hasty to boost up its Lure Speed and then use Rapid Catcher baits to get almost instant reels.
Adding to its incredible stats, you get a Studded passive mutation applied to all the fishes you catch. This increases the sale value of the fish by 1.1x and makes them look like a Lego fish.
3. Arctic Rod
Finally, we have the Arctic Rod as the third-best Fisch rod for beginners. If you are not of puzzles and feel the Brick Rod quest is a bit overwhelming, this one is a great alternative. The Arctic Rod is one of the easiest to obtain and is located at the base campsite of the Northern Expedition island. Read our guide on how to get the Arctic Rod in Fisch for more help. Coming for 25,000 cash, it has got the following stats:
- Lure Speed: 45%
- Luck: 65%
- Control: 0.18
- Resilience: 15
- Max Kg: 80,000
This is a rod with good lure, speed, and luck. Therefore, you can choose between instant catches or getting a cash or clever boost enchantment. All three are viable options, and you may apply the Hasty, Abyssal, or Clever enchantment as per your requirement.
I would recommend applying the Abyssal or Subspace enchantment on this rod along with Seaweed or Coral baits while fishing to boost its Lure and Resilience. This combination will definitely help you earn loads of cash and get better fish as well. You can get some baits for free by redeeming the latest Fisch codes as well.
Bonus: Depthseeker Rod
Last but not least, we present you with a bonus option at the early fishing stages, the Depthseeker Rod. It’s a fairly new one and can be found in front of the Merchant in the Atlantis region under the Grand Reef. The price is a bit higher than the above three. However, at 40,000 cash, you get the following better stats as well:
- Lure Speed: 55%
- Luck: 70%
- Control: 0.17
- Resilience: 25%
- Max Kg: 50,000
The Lure Speed of this rod is so high that you can get almost instant catches if you use seaweed, coral, or the rapid catcher baits. Check out our Fisch bait guide for even more suggestions. Moreover, you can enchant this rod with abyssal or clever to help you gain Cash or level up quickly in the game.
And these are the best Fisch rods for beginners. What do you think about these rods, and do you have any good options to add to this list? Let us know in the comments below!
