To get the Hammyshork Rod in Fisch, rescue an injured shark during a Shark Hunt, enter the hidden Shark Sanctuary near The Arch, and hand Hammi 13 different sharks. He rewards you with the rod and 10 Shark Tokens. I cross-checked five guides covering the Venue Encore Part 2 update (v2.09), so you can skip the guesswork and start fishing.
| Detail | Answer |
|---|---|
| Quest giver | Hammi |
| Location | Shark Sanctuary, under The Arch |
| Quest | Emergency Recruiting (13 sharks) |
| Rewards | Hammyshork Rod + 10 Shark Tokens |
| Added in | Update 2.09 (Venue Encore Part 2) |
You can’t just walk into the sanctuary. First, trigger a Shark Hunt by fishing at abundance spots, or use a Shark Whistle to start one instantly. Dive into the dark pink pool near The Arch or Castaway Cliffs and rescue the injured shark.
Next, swim behind The Arch toward Castaway Cliffs, look under the rubble before the broken ships, and enter the cave. Cross the obby and talk to Hammi to begin Emergency Recruiting.
Can’t find the shark? One tracker places the rescue plush under the Desolate Deep Buoy, so check there if the pools are empty. The Fisch Wiki also lists Level 250 as the requirement.
| Shark | Where | Bait | Best Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great Hammerhead | Ocean Hunt | Fish Head | Spring, day, windy |
| Great White | Ocean Hunt | Fish Head | Autumn, clear |
| Whale Shark | Ocean Hunt | Shrimp | Summer/Autumn, day, clear |
| Megamouth | Ocean Hunt | Krill | Summer, night |
| Cookiecutter | Ocean | Bagel | Spring/Summer, night, clear/foggy |
| Gemstone Whale | Treasure Island | Sapphire Krill | Any |
| Ginsu | Ancient Isle | Fish Head | Summer, night |
| Great Goldcursed | Castaway Cliffs | Fish Head | Autumn, night, foggy |
| Icebeard | Glacial Grotto, Northern Expedition | Truffle Worm | Winter, night |
| Maelstorm | Atlantean Storm | Truffle Worm | Autumn, foggy |
| Mutated | The Depths | Fish Head | Winter, night |
| Nurse | Ocean | Minnow | Summer/Autumn, night |
| Umbral | Keepers Altar | Fish Head | Winter, night, clear |
Pro tip: The four Ocean sharks only bite inside their Hunts, so fish the others while you wait. A rod with the Wormhole enchant, or the Kraken Rod, can catch hunt sharks outside a hunt. Group the rest by season: a Winter night covers Icebeard, Mutated, and Umbral.
Hammi gives the rod only after all 13 are handed in, so a partial set earns nothing.
Per the Fisch Wiki, it also has a 2.5% chance to grant a Shark Token and activates Shark Powahh while you catch a hunt’s primary shark.
The rod has three modes, each tied to a shark plush.
| Mode | How to Unlock | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Hammy | Default after Hammi’s quest | The rod |
| Get Well Soon | Northern Expedition: wear a Winter Cloak, bring an Oxygen Tank, follow the blue star trails to the top, rescue the plush | 10 Shark Tokens + Sharkbreaker |
| Well | Follow the marker, rescue the Well Plush, clear every ring in the race | 10 Shark Tokens |
Leveling: Fish with the rod to get the Feeding Frenzy mutation. Land a Mythical, Exotic, Secret, or Apex fish with it, then hit Feed to level your active mode.
I’d say yes if you enjoy Shark Hunts. Infinite weight means no shark is too heavy, and the +15 Hunt Focus boosts every hunt session. Most of the 13 catches also count toward your bestiary anyway. However, 170% Luck and 70% Lure Speed are only decent, so chasing raw luck or speed? Other rods fit better. It’s also free, which makes the grind easy to justify.
Rescue an injured shark during a Shark Hunt, enter the Shark Sanctuary, and give Hammi all 13 sharks.

You get 10 for the rod, plus 10 for each extra mode quest.
Yes. It costs time and bait only, with no C$ or Robux.
