Choosing the right fishing rod in Roblox’s Fish It is the difference between catching common fish and reeling in rare mythics worth millions. The top-tier rods in December 2025 are Ghostfinn, Angler, and Element Rod – each offering exceptional luck and weight stats that let you catch every fish rarity without struggle. These S-tier rods dominate the meta because they combine high luck percentages (over 500%), massive weight capacities (400,000kg+), and fast reel speeds that minimize grinding time.
For budget-conscious players, the Astral Rod at 1M coins delivers incredible value, reaching 400% luck with proper enchants and rivaling rods that cost three times more. Mid-game options like Chrome Rod and Hazmat Rod provide solid stepping stones without breaking the bank. Understanding which rod fits your current progression stage and budget is essential – you don’t need to rush for the expensive Ghostfinn when cheaper alternatives can perform almost as well with the right bait and enchantments.
Every fishing rod in Fish It has three core stats that determine its effectiveness: Luck, Weight, and Speed. Luck affects the base rarity of fish you catch – higher luck means more Legendary, Mythic, and Secret fish appear in your catches. Weight determines the maximum fish size you can reel in, with top rods handling 500,000kg+ catches. Speed controls how quickly you reel in fish, directly impacting your coins-per-hour farming efficiency.
Beyond base stats, several factors influence rod rankings. Quest accessibility matters – rods like Ghostfinn require lengthy questlines while Angler can be purchased directly. Price-to-performance ratio separates smart buys from coin traps, which is why Astral Rod ranks higher than the more expensive Ares Rod. Enchantment synergy is crucial since rods like Chrome Rod need Reeler to compensate for weak speed stats. Finally, mutation farming potential determines late-game viability, as players prioritize catching shiny and mutated fish for maximum profit during server events.
| Tier | Rods |
|---|---|
| S | Ghostfinn, Angler, Element Rod, Bamboo Rod |
| A | Astral Rod, Ares, Chrome Rod, Hazmat Rod |
| B | Steampunk Rod, Lucky Rod, Midnight Rod, Fluorescent Rod |
| C | Demascus Rod, Ice Rod, Grass Rod |
| D | Toy Rod, Lava Rod, Luck Rod |
| F | Starter Rod, Carbon Rod |
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 610% |
| Speed | 118% |
| Weight | 600,000 kg |
| Cost | Quest Reward |
The Ghostfinn Rod stands as the ultimate fishing rod in Fish It, boasting the highest luck stat in the game at 610%. This mythic rod catches fish of every rarity and weight class without requiring any enchantments, making it a true endgame powerhouse. Its 118% speed stat means you’ll reel in catches faster than any other rod, maximizing your coins per hour. I’ve personally caught multiple Prismatic Leviathans worth over 5M each using Ghostfinn during double luck events – it literally breaks the game’s fishing mechanics.
The only downside is the unlock requirement. You’ll need to complete the Deep Sea Quest at Lost Isle, which involves catching 500 specific fish, completing 10 sub-quests, and defeating the Ghost Leviathan boss. This typically takes 20-30 hours of dedicated grinding. However, once you have it, pair it with Leprechaun II enchant for 400% total luck or Cursed I for mutation specialist builds. Use Aether Bait during server events to maximize your shiny and mutated catch rates. The Ghostfinn Rod is worth every hour of grinding.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 530% |
| Speed | 71% |
| Weight | 500,000 kg |
| Cost | 8M coins |
The Angler Rod offers nearly identical performance to Ghostfinn but with significantly less effort required. Available for direct purchase at 8M coins from Lost Isle, this mythic rod becomes overpowered when paired with the Empowered enchant, gaining +20% luck and +10% speed. Many experienced players actually prefer Angler over Ghostfinn because you can buy it immediately rather than grinding for weeks.
With 530% base luck and 500,000kg weight capacity, Angler catches every fish type in the game. The rod shines brightest with Leprechaun II enchant, pushing total luck to astronomical levels. Save up for this rod before attempting the Ghostfinn quest – it makes the grind significantly easier. Pro tip: Use Aether Bait during Meteor Rain events with their 9x mutation multiplier to earn millions per hour. The Angler Rod represents the best balance of accessibility and performance in Fish It.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 1111% |
| Speed | 130% |
| Weight | 900,000 kg |
| Cost | Element Quest |
The Element Rod features the best overall stats of any rod in Fish It, with an incredible 1111% luck stat that dwarfs even Ghostfinn. This secret-rarity rod also boasts 130% speed and a massive 900,000kg weight capacity, making it the ultimate endgame tool for serious anglers. To obtain it, travel to the Underground Cellar in the Ancient Jungle at nighttime and complete the Element Quest, which has four lengthy tasks.
This rod excels at catching the absolute rarest fish in the game, including secret-tier catches that other rods struggle with. Pair it with Big Hunter I enchant to catch 10% larger fish for leaderboard competition, or use Leprechaun II to push luck even higher. The Element Rod is perfect for players who have exhausted content with other S-tier rods and want the ultimate fishing experience. During double luck server events, this rod consistently catches fish worth 5M+ coins.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 760% |
| Speed | 98% |
| Weight | 500,000 kg |
| Cost | 12M coins |
The Bamboo Rod arrived with the Ancient Jungle Expansion as one of the most expensive purchasable rods in the game. At 12M coins, it better delivers exceptional performance – and it does. With 760% luck, 98% speed, and 500,000kg weight capacity, this mythic rod handles endgame content effortlessly. The high speed stat makes it excellent for farming enchant stones and catching high-value fish quickly.
While more expensive than Angler Rod, Bamboo Rod justifies the price difference with significantly better luck and speed stats. It’s ideal for players who have already accumulated substantial wealth and want to maximize their fishing efficiency. Use Empowered enchant for balanced stat boosts or Mutation Hunter II to farm those valuable mutated fish. Bamboo Rod with Aether Bait during admin events can generate over 1M coins per hour, making it a worthwhile long-term investment.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 350% |
| Speed | 43% |
| Weight | 350,000 kg |
| Cost | 1M coins |
The Astral Rod represents the best value purchase in all of Fish It. At just 1 million coins, it rivals S-tier rods when properly enchanted, making it the perfect mid-game investment. With Leprechaun II enchant, Astral Rod hits 400% luck – enough to consistently catch mythic fish that sell for hundreds of thousands of coins. This legendary rod actually outperforms the 3M coin Ares Rod despite costing one-third the price.
What makes Astral Rod special is its enchantment synergy. The 350% base luck provides a solid foundation that enchants multiply effectively. Pair it with Empowered for balanced stats or Leprechaun II for maximum luck. Use Dark Matter Bait during regular grinding to level up quickly, then switch to Aether Bait during server events for rare catches. I recommend making Astral Rod your first major purchase after accumulating 1M coins – skip intermediate rods like Steampunk and save directly for this game-changer.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 380% |
| Speed | 56% |
| Weight | 400,000 kg |
| Cost | 3M coins |
The Ares Rod occupies an awkward position in the Fish It meta. As a mythic-rarity rod costing 3M coins, it should dominate A-tier, but it’s actually outperformed by the cheaper Astral Rod in most scenarios. However, with the right enchants – particularly Empowered – Ares transforms into a formidable fishing tool. The Empowered enchant adds +20% luck and +10% speed, compensating for the rod’s mediocre base stats.
Ares Rod excels at catching all fish types across every rarity tier. Its 400,000kg weight capacity handles even the heaviest catches without issues. The main question is whether to buy it at all – most experienced players recommend skipping Ares entirely and saving for Angler at 8M coins. If you do purchase Ares, use Reeler enchant to boost the weak speed stat, or go for Empowered for all-around improvement. Pair with Dark Matter Bait for EXP farming or Aether Bait when hunting mutations.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 229% |
| Speed | 23% |
| Weight | 190,000 kg |
| Cost | 437K coins |
The Chrome Rod shines as the budget player’s best friend, delivering exceptional value at just 437K coins. With 229% luck and 190,000kg weight capacity, this epic rod handles rare and heavy fish without breaking the bank. It’s perfect for players transitioning from early to mid-game content who need results without massive investment. At Tropical Grove with Dark Matter bait, Chrome Rod generates approximately 150,000 coins per hour.
The biggest weakness is the 23% speed stat, which feels sluggish compared to higher-tier rods. This is easily fixed with Reeler enchant, adding +7% speed for smoother fishing. Alternatively, use Leprechaun I/II to maximize the already-decent luck stat. Chrome Rod represents the smart progression path – use it to farm coins for Astral Rod rather than wasting money on intermediate purchases. With proper enchants like Leprechaun II, Chrome Rod can achieve 70% of S-tier performance at 10% of the cost.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 380% |
| Speed | 32% |
| Weight | 300,000 kg |
| Cost | 1.3M coins |
The Hazmat Rod offers slightly better stats than Astral Rod but at a 300K coin premium. With 380% luck, 32% speed, and 300,000kg weight capacity, this legendary rod provides solid all-around performance. It’s particularly good for players who want better speed than Astral Rod without jumping to the 3M+ price tier. The Hazmat Rod handles mid-to-late game fishing locations effectively.
This rod works best with Empowered or Leprechaun enchants to boost the already-strong luck stat. Use Dark Matter Bait for consistent EXP gains while farming rare fish. The Hazmat Rod fills a specific niche for players with 1-2M coins who want immediate upgrades without waiting to save for Angler. However, many players prefer saving the extra 300K and sticking with Astral Rod, using those coins for bait instead. If you do buy Hazmat, it won’t disappoint – just know that Astral Rod offers better value.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 175% |
| Speed | 19% |
| Weight | 25,000 kg |
| Cost | 215K coins |
The Steampunk Rod serves as an excellent mid-game farming tool with its 175% luck and 25,000kg weight capacity. At 215K coins, it’s affordable enough to purchase relatively early while providing meaningful upgrades over starter rods. This epic rod helps you catch high-yielding fish to accumulate the resources needed for late-game content. The 175% luck opens up access to rare fish categories that sell for substantial profits.
The main drawback is the underwhelming 19% speed stat, making fishing sessions feel sluggish. Fix this with Reeler enchant for +7% speed improvement. Use Dark Matter Bait to maximize EXP gains while the luck stat handles rare fish spawns. Steampunk Rod represents a safe mid-game investment that performs reliably across all Stingray Shores content. However, I recommend saving a bit longer for Chrome Rod at 437K, which offers significantly better stats for roughly double the price.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 130% |
| Speed | 7% |
| Weight | 5,000 kg |
| Cost | 15K coins |
The Lucky Rod provides excellent early-game value at just 15K coins, offering 130% luck that helps catch rare fish from the start. This rare-tier rod excels at collecting Enchant Stones early on, which you’ll need for upgrading better rods later. It’s also perfect for completing the Stingray Shores fish index faster than starter rods allow. The low price point means you can afford it within your first hour of gameplay.
The biggest limitation is the 5,000kg weight cap, which prevents catching heavier fish types. The 7% speed stat also feels painfully slow during extended fishing sessions. Use Empowered I or Reeler enchant to compensate for these weaknesses. Pair with Dark Matter Bait once you can afford it to boost EXP gains. Lucky Rod should be your first real purchase after ditching the Starter Rod – it opens up rare fish categories that generate enough coin income to quickly upgrade to better equipment.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 100% |
| Speed | 10% |
| Weight | 10,000 kg |
| Cost | 50K coins |
The Midnight Rod costs 35K more than Lucky Rod but offers worse luck stats (100% vs 130%), making it a questionable purchase. However, it compensates with double the weight capacity at 10,000kg and slightly better speed at 10%. This rare rod works well for early-to-mid game players who want to catch heavier fish with fewer clicks, but the reduced luck means rarer fish appear less frequently.
Midnight Rod fits a specific playstyle focused on weight over rarity. If you’re completing quests that require heavy fish catches, this rod performs admirably. Use Empowered I or Leprechaun I/II enchants to compensate for the lower luck stat. Dark Matter Bait helps maintain decent rare fish catch rates despite the base luck deficiency. Most players skip Midnight Rod entirely, preferring Lucky Rod’s superior luck for farming coins to buy better rods faster.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 300% |
| Speed | 23% |
| Weight | 160,000 kg |
| Cost | 715K coins |
The Fluorescent Rod arrived with the Ancient Jungle Expansion as a legendary-tier option for players with 700K+ coins. With 300% luck and 160,000kg weight capacity, it provides solid mid-to-late game performance. The 23% speed stat matches Chrome Rod’s speed, making fishing feel somewhat responsive. This rod works well for players who have outgrown B-tier rods but aren’t ready for 1M+ purchases.
Fluorescent Rod fills the gap between Chrome Rod (437K) and Astral Rod (1M), offering better luck than Chrome but not quite matching Astral’s value. Use Reeler enchant to improve the mediocre speed or Leprechaun II to maximize luck potential. Pair with Dark Matter Bait for consistent farming or Aether Bait during events. While not a bad rod, most players prefer saving directly for Astral Rod at 1M, which offers superior performance for just 285K more coins.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 80% |
| Speed | 4% |
| Weight | 400 kg |
| Cost | 3K coins |
The Demascus Rod offers the highest luck stat among true starter rods at 80%, making it decent for early-game money farming. At just 3K coins, it’s affordable within minutes of starting Fish It. The 400kg weight capacity handles common fish adequately, though you’ll quickly outgrow it. This uncommon rod serves as a brief stepping stone between Starter Rod and Lucky Rod.
The absolutely terrible 4% speed stat makes Demascus Rod one of the slowest rods in the game. Fishing sessions feel painfully drawn out, clicking endlessly to reel in even common catches. Use Empowered I or Reeler I enchant if you must use this rod long-term, though I recommend saving for Lucky Rod instead. Pair with Dark Matter Bait if you’re stuck with Demascus longer than intended. Most players skip this rod entirely, going from Starter Rod directly to Lucky Rod or even Lava Rod (which is free).
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 60% |
| Speed | 7% |
| Weight | 750 kg |
| Cost | 5K coins |
The Ice Rod prioritizes weight capacity over luck, offering 750kg weight at the cost of only 60% luck. This uncommon rod excels at catching the heaviest fish available in Stingray Shores and its adjoining areas. The 7% speed stat provides better control than Demascus Rod, making fishing feel slightly more responsive. At 5K coins, it’s affordable as a specialized tool for weight-focused quests.
However, the weak 60% luck means rare fish appear infrequently, limiting your coin-earning potential. Ice Rod works best when you specifically need heavy catches rather than rare ones. Use Leprechaun I/II enchant to compensate for the luck deficiency. Dark Matter Bait helps maintain some rare fish catch probability. Most players buy Ice Rod only if stuck on a quest requiring heavy fish – otherwise, Lucky Rod’s superior luck makes it the better early-game investment.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 55% |
| Speed | 5% |
| Weight | 250 kg |
| Cost | 1.5K coins |
The Grass Rod offers minimal upgrades over Starter Rod at 1.5K coins, providing 55% luck and 250kg weight capacity. This uncommon rod represents the absolute cheapest paid upgrade available, making it accessible within the first few minutes of gameplay. The 5% speed stat provides marginal improvement over starting equipment. Grass Rod serves as a temporary bridge while saving for Lucky Rod.
The problem is Lava Rod offers similar stats completely free by talking to the Lava Fisherman at Kohana Volcano. Unless you’re avoiding the volcano location, there’s no reason to buy Grass Rod when a free alternative exists. If you do purchase it, use Empowered or Reeler enchant to make fishing tolerable. Midnight Bait works fine since this rod can’t catch high-tier fish anyway. Skip Grass Rod entirely and grab the free Lava Rod instead – save your coins for Lucky Rod.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 40% |
| Speed | 3% |
| Weight | 100 kg |
| Cost | Free |
The Toy Rod becomes available for free by joining the Fish It Roblox community and liking the game. With 40% luck, 3% speed, and 100kg weight capacity, it provides slight improvements over Starter Rod without spending coins. This common rod lets you catch slightly better fish than starting equipment, generating enough income to buy Lucky Rod faster. The free price makes it worthwhile to grab immediately upon starting.
However, Toy Rod becomes obsolete within 30 minutes of active play. The stats simply can’t handle anything beyond basic fish, severely limiting your farming efficiency. If you must use Toy Rod temporarily, equip Empowered or Leprechaun I/II enchant to maximize its weak potential. Midnight Bait suffices since higher-tier baits would be wasted on such a weak rod. Grab Toy Rod for free, use it briefly to farm coins, then upgrade to Lucky Rod or Lava Rod as quickly as possible.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 50% |
| Speed | 2% |
| Weight | 15 kg |
| Cost | 350 coins |
The Luck Rod costs only 350 coins but offers minimal value due to hard caps on rarity and weight. With 50% luck, 2% speed, and a tiny 15kg weight limit, this common rod catches only the most basic fish. The extremely low weight cap means you’ll miss out on any remotely valuable catches. The terrible 2% speed stat makes each catch feel like an eternity.
Luck Rod serves no practical purpose when free alternatives like Lava Rod and Toy Rod outperform it. The only scenario for buying Luck Rod is if you’re speedrunning from Starter Rod with your first 350 coins before accessing free alternatives. Use Empowered I enchant if trapped with this rod. Midnight Bait is sufficient since the rod can’t catch anything valuable anyway. Replace Luck Rod immediately with Lucky Rod (15K) or the free Lava Rod for substantially better performance.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 30% |
| Speed | 2% |
| Weight | 100 kg |
| Cost | Free |
The Lava Rod becomes available for free by talking to the Lava Fisherman NPC at Kohana Volcano, making it the best free rod in Fish It. With 30% luck, 2% speed, and 100kg weight capacity, it outperforms Starter Rod substantially. The main advantage is accessibility – simply travel to Kohana Volcano and claim it immediately. This uncommon rod provides enough fishing power to farm coins for Lucky Rod.
Despite being free, Lava Rod has rarity and weight caps that prevent catching valuable fish. The weak stats mean you’ll struggle at locations beyond Stingray Shores. Use Big Hunter I enchant to maximize the catches you can make. Midnight Bait works fine since the rod’s limitations prevent catching high-tier fish regardless of bait quality. Lava Rod should be your go-to free upgrade from Starter Rod – use it to farm 15K coins for Lucky Rod, then immediately replace it.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 0% |
| Speed | 0% |
| Weight | 10 kg |
| Cost | Free |
The Starter Rod is what every player begins with – zero luck, zero speed, and a pathetic 10kg weight limit. This common rod represents the absolute worst fishing equipment in Fish It, catching only the most worthless fish available. With 0% luck, rare fish never appear. The 0% speed means each catch requires maximum clicks to reel in. The 10kg limit excludes all but the smallest, cheapest fish.
Starter Rod exists solely to motivate players to upgrade immediately. Don’t even bother enchanting it – save your Enchant Stones for real rods. If you’re truly desperate, Stargazer I enchant provides +60% luck at night, marginally improving performance. Use Midnight Bait or no bait at all since anything else would be wasted. Upgrade to Toy Rod (free), Lava Rod (free), or Luck Rod (350 coins) within your first 10 minutes of gameplay. Starter Rod should never be used beyond the tutorial phase.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 30% |
| Speed | 4% |
| Weight | 20 kg |
| Cost | 900 coins |
The Carbon Rod costs 900 coins but delivers minimal improvement over free alternatives. With 30% luck, 4% speed, and 20kg weight capacity, it slightly reduces clicks needed per catch. This common rod represents one of the worst purchases in Fish It – spending 900 coins for marginal gains when free rods perform similarly makes no financial sense. The low stats prevent catching anything remotely valuable.
Carbon Rod might serve as a slight upgrade from Starter Rod if you’re avoiding Kohana Volcano and haven’t joined the Roblox community for Toy Rod. Otherwise, skip it entirely. If stuck with Carbon Rod, use Stormhunter I enchant (+80% luck during rain) to salvage some value. Midnight Bait suffices since the rod can’t catch high-value fish anyway. Save your 900 coins toward Lucky Rod (15K) or Lava Rod (free) – both vastly outperform Carbon Rod at better prices.
Choosing the right bait transforms average rods into money-making machines. Fish It offers several bait options, but only two truly matter for serious players. Dark Matter Bait and Aether Bait provide game-changing stat boosts that multiply your earnings far beyond their hefty price tags. Understanding when to use each bait type maximizes your fishing efficiency and coin generation.
Bait effects stack multiplicatively with rod stats and enchantments, creating powerful synergies. During special server events like Meteor Rain with 9x mutation multipliers, Aether Bait becomes absolutely broken for profit generation. Dark Matter Bait remains the go-to choice for regular grinding sessions, offering excellent EXP gains that accelerate progression. Invest in quality bait early – it returns 3-4x its cost when used properly.
Effects: +160% Luck, +5% EXP, +10% Shiny Fish Chance
Cost: 630K coins
Best For: Leveling and farming EXP
Dark Matter Bait represents the best all-around bait choice for regular fishing sessions. The 160% luck boost significantly increases rare fish spawn rates, while the +5% EXP helps you level up faster. The 10% shiny fish chance adds valuable catches that sell for premium prices. At 630K coins, it’s expensive but pays for itself within 2-3 hours of fishing with decent rods.
Use Dark Matter Bait when grinding levels, completing fish indexes, or farming coins during non-event periods. It works excellently on A-tier and B-tier rods, compensating for their lower base luck. Pair it with Astral Rod and Leprechaun II enchant to reach 400%+ total luck for consistent mythic catches. The EXP bonus accelerates progression through levels, unlocking better locations and quests faster. Always have Dark Matter Bait equipped unless using Aether Bait for specific mutation farming.
Effects: +240% Luck, +20% Mutated Fish Chance, +20% Shiny Fish Chance
Cost: 3.7M coins
Best For: Rare, shiny, and mutated catches during server events
Aether Bait costs a staggering 3.7M coins but delivers unmatched performance during server events. The 240% luck boost is the highest in the game, while the 20% mutation and shiny chances stack multiplicatively with event bonuses. During Meteor Rain events with 9x mutation multipliers, Aether Bait turns your rod into a money printer, catching fish worth 5M+ coins regularly.
Save Aether Bait for admin events, special server boosts, and serious mutation farming sessions. The +20% mutation chance stacks with Cursed I enchant (+75% mutation) and event multipliers for extreme results. Use Aether Bait with S-tier rods like Ghostfinn or Angler for maximum efficiency – pairing it with weak rods wastes its potential. During double luck events, Aether Bait generates over 1M coins per hour easily. While expensive, serious endgame players consider Aether Bait essential equipment.
Enchantments in Fish It add powerful buffs to your fishing rods, often transforming mediocre equipment into endgame-viable tools. Each rod can hold only one enchantment at a time, making enchant choice critically important. You apply enchants using Enchant Stones at the Altar inside the Esoteric Depths. Regular Enchant Stones have a 1 in 2,900 drop chance and can be caught in any area, though Tropical Grove and Esoteric Depths offer the best farming rates.
Super Enchant Stones cost 49 Robux and guarantee one of five top-tier enchants: Prismatic I, Empowered I, Leprechaun II, Cursed I, or Mutation Hunter II. Each has a 20% chance when using Super Enchant Stones. Regular Enchant Stones roll from 14 different enchants with varying probabilities. Understanding which enchants synergize with your rod type and fishing goals maximizes your equipment’s potential. Bad enchants should be rerolled immediately – don’t settle for mediocre buffs.
Prismatic I – Rainbow Boost activates with 10 fewer throws
This enchant accelerates progression dramatically by triggering the Rainbow Boost effect after fewer casts. Rainbow Boost provides massive temporary luck increases, making rare fish catches much more frequent. Prismatic I effectively reduces the grind required for optimal fishing conditions. It works exceptionally well on any rod but shines brightest on fast-speed rods like Ghostfinn that can quickly cycle through casts.
Leprechaun II – +50% Luck
The single most powerful luck boost available, Leprechaun II adds a flat +50% to your rod’s base luck stat. On rods like Astral Rod (350% base), this enchant pushes total luck to 400%, rivaling much more expensive rods. Leprechaun II is universally useful on every rod tier from B-Tier upward. It’s the go-to enchant for balanced fishing that catches rare fish consistently without sacrificing other stats.
Cursed I – -75% Luck, +75% Mutation Chance
The most controversial yet powerful enchant for specialized mutation farming. Cursed I sacrifices 75% of your base luck to gain 75% increased mutation chance. This seems terrible until you realize mutation fish sell for 10-50x normal fish prices. During mutation multiplier events, Cursed I on high-luck rods like Ghostfinn still maintains enough luck to catch rare fish while maximizing mutation profits. Use this exclusively during special events – never for regular grinding.
Empowered I – +20% Luck, +10% Speed
The perfect balanced enchant for all-around fishing performance. Empowered I boosts both luck and speed simultaneously, making it ideal for rods with decent base stats in both categories. The +20% luck helps catch rarer fish while the +10% speed reduces grinding fatigue by making reeling faster. This enchant works brilliantly on Angler Rod and Ares Rod, transforming them into true S-tier performers.
Mutation Hunter II – +30% Mutation Chance
A strong mutation-focused enchant without the luck penalty of Cursed I. Mutation Hunter II adds 30% mutation chance while preserving your rod’s base luck, making it excellent for balanced mutation farming. Use this on mid-to-high tier rods when farming mutations outside of major events. It generates consistent profit without the boom-or-bust nature of Cursed I builds.
Big Hunter I – +10% Fish Size
Essential for players competing on leaderboards or completing size-based quests. Big Hunter I increases every fish’s size by 10%, helping you catch record-breaking specimens. While not useful for coin farming, it’s mandatory for size challenges. Use this on S-tier rods during fishing competitions where the largest catch wins prizes or bragging rights.
Gold Digger I – +10% Gold Mutation Chance
Gold mutations sell for enormous profits, making this enchant valuable during mutation-focused farming sessions. Gold Digger I specifically boosts the chance of golden-colored mutations, which are among the rarest and most valuable. Pair this with Aether Bait during events for maximum gold mutation spawns. It’s more specialized than Mutation Hunter II but offers higher profit potential when gold mutations appear.
Leprechaun I – +30% Luck
The little brother of Leprechaun II, still providing substantial luck boosts. Leprechaun I adds 30% luck, making it excellent on budget rods like Chrome Rod and Steampunk Rod. While Leprechaun II is superior, Leprechaun I appears more frequently from regular Enchant Stones. Use this as a placeholder until you roll Leprechaun II or if you can’t afford Super Enchant Stones.
Stargazer I – +60% Luck at Night
Stargazer I provides massive luck boosts but only during nighttime hours in-game. The +60% luck rivals Leprechaun enchants when active, making it powerful for players who exclusively fish at night. However, the time restriction limits its usefulness compared to always-active enchants. Use Stargazer I if you primarily play during night cycles or are farming night-specific fish.
Glistening I – +10% Shiny Mutation Chance
Shiny mutations are valuable but less profitable than gold mutations, making Glistening I a niche choice. The +10% shiny chance helps complete shiny fish collections and generates decent coin income. It’s particularly useful during shiny-boosted events when combined with Aether Bait. However, most players prefer more versatile enchants like Leprechaun or Empowered.
Stormhunter I – +80% Luck During Rain
The highest situational luck boost in the game at +80%, but only active during rainy weather. Stormhunter I turns weak rods into temporary powerhouses during storms. The problem is rain unpredictability – you can’t control when storms occur. Use this enchant if you’re willing to wait for rain or if specific quests require storm fishing.
Mutation Hunter I – +10% Mutation Chance
The weaker version of Mutation Hunter II, still providing useful mutation boosts. The +10% mutation chance helps on budget rods where you can’t afford to reroll for better enchants. It’s significantly worse than Mutation Hunter II but serviceable as a placeholder. Upgrade to Mutation Hunter II or switch to luck enchants as soon as possible.
Reeler I – +7% Speed
Reeler I only boosts speed without affecting luck or other important stats. The +7% speed helps on painfully slow rods like Chrome Rod and Steampunk Rod, reducing click fatigue. However, it doesn’t increase your earnings or rare catch rates. Use Reeler I only on rods with terrible speed stats that need fixing – otherwise, prioritize luck-boosting enchants.
XPerienced I – +50% XP from Catches
XPerienced I accelerates leveling by providing 1.5x XP from every catch. It’s useful during early-to-mid game when levels unlock new areas and quests. However, once you reach high levels, XP becomes meaningless and luck enchants provide better value. Use XPerienced I if you’re specifically power-leveling, then reroll to Leprechaun or Empowered for endgame content.
Fish It allows equipping two enchants simultaneously through special mechanics introduced in recent updates. Double enchants create powerful synergies that multiply your fishing effectiveness exponentially. Understanding optimal combinations transforms good rods into exceptional ones. These combos stack both enchant effects simultaneously, creating builds tailored for specific fishing goals.
Leprechaun II + Empowered
The ultimate balanced combo providing +70% luck and +10% speed. This combination works on any rod from A-tier upward, dramatically increasing both rare catch rates and fishing speed. Use this combo on Astral Rod or Angler Rod for reliable endgame performance. It’s perfect for players who want consistent results without specialized builds.
Leprechaun II + Perfection
Combines +50% luck with perfect throw mechanics for players who value precision. Perfect throws guarantee maximum performance from each cast, while the massive luck boost ensures rare fish appear frequently. This combo excels on rods with already-high base luck like Ghostfinn. Use it during focused grinding sessions when you’re paying full attention to casting.
Mutation Hunter II + Empowered
A mutation farming powerhouse offering +30% mutation, +20% luck, and +10% speed. This well-rounded combination maintains decent luck while specializing in mutations. Use it with Aether Bait during non-peak events for steady mutation profits. The speed boost prevents grinding fatigue during long farming sessions.
Big Hunter + Prismatic
For players chasing leaderboard positions or size records. Provides +10% larger fish, faster rainbow boost activation, and +3800% luck when rainbow boost is active. This combo creates insane burst potential for catching massive rare fish. Use it during size competitions or when attempting to break personal records.
Mutation Hunter II + Leprechaun II
The hybrid mutation specialist combo with +30% mutation and +50% luck. Unlike Cursed I, this maintains high base luck while still farming mutations effectively. It’s excellent for consistent mutation catches without sacrificing regular rare fish. Use this combo on S-tier rods during mutation events for balanced profit generation.
Empowered + Perfection
Provides +20% luck, +10% speed, and perfect throws for a smooth fishing experience. This combo removes the randomness of throw quality while boosting performance stats. It’s ideal for players who prefer consistency over specialized builds. Use it on mid-tier rods to maximize their efficiency without extreme investment.
Big Hunter + Leprechaun II
Combines +10% size and +50% luck for catching large rare fish. This combo works well for players completing both size and rarity challenges simultaneously. The high luck ensures valuable catches while the size boost helps with specific quests. Use it on rods with 400%+ base luck for best results.
Xperienced + Leprechaun II
Offers 1.5x XP and +50% luck for fast leveling without sacrificing rare catches. This combo accelerates progression through level-gated content while maintaining profit generation. Use it during mid-game when levels still matter, then switch to pure luck or mutation combos at max level.
Mutation Hunter II + Reeler
Provides +30% mutation and +7% speed for faster mutation farming sessions. The speed boost reduces fatigue during extended grinding while mutations generate profits. Use this combo when farming mutations on rods with weak base speed stats like Ares Rod.
The Element Rod is technically the best rod in Fish It with 1111% luck, 130% speed, and 900,000kg weight capacity. However, Ghostfinn and Angler rods are more practical for most players since Element Rod requires completing the extremely lengthy Element Quest. For overall accessibility and performance balance, Angler Rod at 8M coins represents the best purchasable option.
To obtain the Ghostfinn Rod, travel to Lost Isle and accept the Deep Sea Quest from the Ghost NPC. This quest requires catching 500 specific deep sea fish, completing 10 sub-quests involving rare catches, and defeating the Ghost Leviathan boss. The entire questline typically takes 20-30 hours of dedicated grinding. Use at least an A-tier rod like Astral before attempting this quest to make the grind more manageable.
For general fishing, Leprechaun II (+50% luck) or Empowered I (+20% luck, +10% speed) work best on most rods. If farming mutations during events, use Cursed I (+75% mutation, -75% luck) or Mutation Hunter II (+30% mutation). For rods with terrible speed like Chrome Rod, consider Reeler I (+7% speed). Avoid XPerienced I after reaching max level since XP becomes useless in endgame.
Yes, Astral Rod outperforms Ares Rod despite costing one-third the price (1M vs 3M coins). Astral Rod with Leprechaun II enchant reaches 400% luck, while Ares only hits 380% base luck. The extra 2M coin savings can buy Dark Matter Bait for better overall performance. Most experienced players skip Ares entirely, going from Astral directly to Angler Rod at 8M coins.
Use Dark Matter Bait (+160% luck, +5% XP) for regular grinding, leveling, and consistent coin farming. Switch to Aether Bait (+240% luck, +20% mutation, +20% shiny) during special server events like Meteor Rain, admin boosts, or double luck events. Aether Bait costs 3.7M coins, so reserve it for maximum-profit situations where the 20% mutation boost generates millions in returns.
Absolutely. All the best rods in Fish It are obtainable without spending Robux. Angler (8M coins), Ghostfinn (quest), Element (quest), and Bamboo (12M coins) are all free-to-play options. Game Pass rods like Gold Rod actually perform worse than free options. Focus on grinding coins with budget rods like Astral and Chrome, then upgrade to Angler for endgame content.
Your first major purchase should be Lucky Rod at 15K coins, which provides 130% luck for early rare fish farming. After accumulating 437K coins, upgrade to Chrome Rod for substantial performance improvements. Your next target should be Astral Rod at 1M coins – this legendary rod carries you through mid-to-late game content efficiently. Skip intermediate rods like Steampunk and Midnight to save coins faster.
Mutations are rare variants of normal fish with unique colors and significantly higher values. Base mutation chance varies by rod luck and location, with typical rates around 1-3%. Mutations include shiny variants (10-20x value), gold mutations (50-100x value), and other special types. During server events like Meteor Rain with 9x mutation multipliers, you can catch multiple mutations per hour worth millions each.
No, using expensive bait like Aether (3.7M coins) on cheap rods like Lucky Rod or Chrome Rod wastes money. Budget rods lack the base stats to effectively utilize premium bait bonuses. Use Midnight Bait or no bait on D-tier and C-tier rods. Start using Dark Matter Bait (630K) once you have B-tier rods like Steampunk. Reserve Aether Bait for A-tier and S-tier rods during special events only.
Tropical Grove offers the best balance of rare fish spawns and high-value catches for mid-game farming. With decent rods (Chrome or better) and Dark Matter Bait, you can generate 150-300K coins per hour at Tropical Grove. For endgame players with S-tier rods, Lost Isle and Ancient Jungle provide the highest-value fish including mythics and secrets worth millions each.
Choosing the right fishing rod in Fish It dramatically impacts your progression speed and enjoyment. While S-tier rods like Ghostfinn and Angler represent the ultimate endgame equipment, you don’t need them immediately to succeed. Smart players progress through budget options like Lucky Rod (15K), Chrome Rod (437K), and Astral Rod (1M) while saving for premium purchases. Each upgrade should feel meaningful – avoid wasting coins on mediocre intermediate rods.
Remember that bait and enchants often matter as much as the rod itself. A properly enchanted Astral Rod with Dark Matter Bait outperforms a bare Ares Rod costing three times more. Focus on building complete fishing setups rather than just chasing expensive rods. During special server events, even mid-tier equipment generates millions with proper bait usage and enchant combinations.
