Hey there, fellow Fisch enthusiast! If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent countless hours in Roblox Fisch trying to catch the biggest, rarest fish out there. But let’s be real – you’re only as good as your rod! I’ve tested, researched, and analyzed every single rod in the game to bring you the most comprehensive Fisch rod tier list you’ll find anywhere.
I’m going to break down every rod from absolute game-changers to ones you should avoid like the plague. Whether you’re a beginner just starting out or a seasoned pro looking to optimize your setup, I’ve got you covered with detailed stats, progression paths, and my personal recommendations.
What Makes a Rod “Good” in Fisch?
Before we dive into the rankings, let me explain what I look for when evaluating rods. After testing hundreds of hours in Fisch, I’ve found that the best rods typically excel in these areas:
- Lure Speed: How quickly you attract fish
- Luck: Your chance of catching rare fish
- Control: How well you can handle fish during the mini-game
- Resilience: Your rod’s durability and resistance to damage
- Max Weight: The biggest fish you can potentially catch
- Passive Abilities: Special effects that give you an edge
But here’s the thing – the “best” rod really depends on your playstyle, current level, and what you’re trying to achieve. Are you grinding for money? Going for rare catches? Or just trying to level up quickly? I’ll cover all these scenarios in my rankings.
S+ Tier: The God-Tier Rods (Must-Have)
These rods are in a league of their own. If you can get your hands on any of these, your fishing game will change forever.

Stats:
- Lure Speed: 95%
- Luck: 195%
- Control: 0.25
- Resilience: 40%
- Max Weight: Infinite kg
- Price: 15,000,000 C$ Why It’s God-Tier: This is, without a doubt, the best rod in Fisch right now. The Ethereal Prism Rod has a 50% chance to apply the “Prismize” mutation, which increases fish value by 8x! That’s not a typo – EIGHT TIMES the normal value. I’ve made millions in just a few hours with this rod. The stats are incredible across the board, and while the price is steep, it pays for itself incredibly quickly.
Best For: Money grinding, rare fish hunting, endgame content
Seraphic Rod

- Lure Speed: 95%
- Luck: 150%

Why It’s God-Tier: The Seraphic Rod offers insane stats and the “Divine Judgement” passive ability. What makes it even better is that you get it for free once you hit Level 1000. The 60% progress speed boost means you’ll catch fish faster than anyone else on the server. I’ve tested this rod extensively, and it consistently outperforms everything else except the Ethereal Prism Rod.

No-Life Rod

- Lure Speed: 90%

Why It’s God-Tier: Another free rod for dedicated players! The No-Life Rod stuns fish and has a 50% chance to apply the “Hexed” mutation. What I love about this rod is its balance – it’s not the best at any one thing, but it’s excellent at everything. When I’m not sure what rod to use, this is my go-to choice.
Best For: All-purpose fishing, mid-to-endgame players
S Tier: The Elite Performers
These rods are just a step below the god-tier options but still absolutely incredible. If you can’t get the S+ tier rods, these are your next best bet.

It has a 30% chance to grant a 150% luck boost every 45 seconds, and a 60% chance to get fish with the “Greedy” mutation. I’ve found that pairing this with the “Hasty” enchantment makes it one of the best money-printing machines in the game.

It has a 10% chance of granting a 150% luck boost every 30 seconds, and a 20% chance to get fish with the “Greedy” mutation. What really sets it apart is the megalodon that jumps out of the water after 3 perfect catches – it’s just awesome to watch!

C Tier: The Beginner-Friendly Options
These rods are perfect for new players or early-to-mid game levels. They’re easy to grind but should be replaced as you progress.
Steady Rod

- Luck: 35%
- Control: 0.05
- Resilience: 30%
- Max Weight: 100,000 kg
- Price: 7,000 C$ Why It’s Good for Beginners: As the name implies, the Steady Rod is steady and dependable for mid-game players. While the lure speed is painfully slow, the high resilience and weight limit make it great for catching larger fish when you’re starting out.

Carbon Rod
Stats:

- Luck: 25%
- Control: 0.05

- Price: 4,500 C$ Why It’s Good for Beginners: The Fast Rod is basically a game-changer for early gamers who like quick catches. It has really good lure speed stats, making it perfect for completing Angler Quests quickly. While the negative luck and resilience stats hurt a bit, the speed often makes up for it.
Best For: Quick catches, quest completion
D Tier: The Training Wheels
These are basically starter options for the early humble beginnings. They’re weak and terrible for later game content, so do your best to level up fast.
Flimsy Rod
Stats:
- Lure Speed: 0%
- Luck: 0%
- Control: 0%
- Resilience: 0%
- Max Weight: 10.4 kg
- Price: Free (Default)
Why It’s D-Tier: This is the first rod a player obtains with zero stats. It’s great if you’re trying to get the hang of the game, but you’ll want to upgrade as soon as possible. I only recommend using this for your first few minutes in the game.
Training Rod
Stats:
- Lure Speed: 10%
- Luck: -70%
- Control: 0.2
- Resilience: 20%
- Max Weight: 9 kg
- Price: 300 C$ Why It’s D-Tier: The Training Rod is excellent for honing your skills, but the terrible luck stat makes it nearly useless for actually catching valuable fish. Use this to practice the fishing mini-game, then switch to something better immediately.
Plastic Rod
Stats:
- Lure Speed: 10%
- Luck: 15%
- Resilience: 10%
- Max Weight: 100 kg
- Price: 900 C$ Why It’s D-Tier: The Plastic Rod offers a slight boost for beginner level players, but it’s still incredibly weak compared to even the C-tier options. Save your money and jump straight to the Carbon Rod when you can afford it.

FAQ: Your Fisch Rod Questions Answered
What’s the absolute best rod in Fisch?
The Ethereal Prism Rod is currently the best rod in Fisch. Its 50% chance to apply the 8x value “Prismize” mutation makes it unmatched for money-making, and its base stats are incredible across the board.
What’s the best free rod in Fisch?
The Seraphic Rod (free at Level 1000) and No-Life Rod (free at Level 500) are the best free rods. The Seraphic Rod is slightly better overall, but both are incredible for being free.
What rod should I buy first?
Start with the Carbon Rod (2,000 C$) as your first real upgrade from the Flimsy Rod. It offers the best balance of stats for the price and will serve you well until you can afford better options.
Are expensive rods worth it?
Generally, yes – but only if you’re at the right level. A Level 50 player with a 15 million C$ rod won’t get the full benefit. Follow my progression guide and upgrade gradually for the best results.

The Heaven’s Rod with its 225% luck stat is the best for rare fish hunting. Pair it with the Clever enchantment for maximum effectiveness.

What’s the best rod for beginners?
The Carbon Rod is the best choice for beginners. It costs only 2,000 C$ and offers much better stats than the starting rods while being affordable for new players.
Do rods lose durability?
Yes, most rods have resilience stats that determine how much damage they can take. Higher resilience means your rod will last longer before needing repairs.
Can I use multiple rods at once?
No, you can only equip one rod at a time. However, you can switch between rods in your inventory depending on what you’re trying to catch.
Are there any limited-time rods?
Yes, some rods are only available during special events or through limited-time codes. These are often cosmetic variants of existing rods with similar stats.
