All Fishing Rods in Blox Fruits & Complete Unlock Guide

Let me break down each fishing rod in detail, including exact requirements and pro tips I’ve learned through countless hours of grinding.

1. Normal Fishing Rod (Common)

The Normal Fishing Rod is your gateway into the world of Blox Fruits fishing. You’ll receive this rod completely free when you first interact with any Fisherman NPC.

How to Get:

  • Simply talk to any Fisherman NPC in any of the three seas
  • Locations include Port Town (Third Sea), Kingdom of Rose (Second Sea), or Frozen Village (First Sea)
  • No level requirement or cost

Pro Tip: Don’t underestimate this starter rod! I recommend fishing until you reach level 20 before upgrading, as this unlocks access to the Angler NPC for better gear.

2. Gold Rod (Uncommon)

The Gold Rod represents your first major upgrade and significantly improves your fishing experience. According to my testing, it increases rare fish catch rates by approximately 25%.

Requirements:

  • Complete 10 Angler Trust Quests in Sky Island (First Sea)
  • Reach Fishing Level 20 to interact with Angler NPC
  • Materials needed:
    • 500,000 Beli
    • 4 Wooden Planks (chop trees with any sword)
    • 3 Scrap Metals (dropped by enemies level 150+)

Important Note: As of June 2026, there’s a bug preventing Gold Rod crafting in Second and Third Sea. Always craft it at the First Sea Angler NPC for guaranteed success. Check out our detailed Blox Fruits Gold Rod Guide for step-by-step instructions.

3. Treasure Rod (Rare)

The Treasure Rod is unique because it can’t be crafted or purchased – it’s purely RNG-based, making it one of the most exciting catches in the game.

How to Get:

  • While fishing anywhere, you have a small chance to catch a Sunken Chest
  • Opening the chest has approximately a 5% chance to contain the Treasure Rod
  • Drop rate isn’t affected by bait type or current rod

My Experience: After opening 47 Sunken Chests, I finally got my Treasure Rod. Some players get lucky within 10 chests, while others grind for weeks. Patience is key!

4. Shark Rod (Epic)

The Shark Rod marks a significant power jump in your fishing arsenal. This rod is essential for catching Epic and Legendary fish consistently.

Requirements:

  • Complete 15 Angler Trust Quests in Green Zone (Second Sea)
  • Materials needed:
    • 1 Meteorite (dropped by Orbitus boss in Green Zone)
    • 1,000 Fragments
    • 5 Vampire Fangs (from Graveyard Island vampires, level 975)
    • 7 Wooden Planks

Boss Strategy: Orbitus has a 20% drop rate for Meteorite. I recommend Buddha fruit for easy farming, as the boss respawns every 20 minutes.

5. Corrupted Shark Rod (Epic)

This twisted version of the Shark Rod allows you to catch corrupted fish anywhere in the game, not just in the Oni Realm.

Requirements:

  • Must own the regular Shark Rod first
  • Travel to Oni Realm and find the Corrupted Fisherman
  • Exchange requirements:
    • 100 Corrupted Fish (caught in Oni Realm whirlpools)
    • 500 Oni Points (earned by trading corrupted fish)

Unique Feature: You keep both the normal and Corrupted Shark Rod, allowing you to switch based on what you’re fishing for.

6. Shell Rod (Legendary)

The Shell Rod represents endgame fishing gear, requiring serious dedication to unlock. Its stats make even Mythical fish feel like common catches.

Requirements:

  • Complete 40 Angler Trust Quests in Hydra Town (Third Sea)
  • Materials needed:
    • 2 Mutant Teeth (from Terra Sharks in Third Sea)
    • 2,000 Fragments
    • 8 Mystic Droplets (from Sea Soldiers and Water Fighters)
    • 12 Wooden Planks

Time Investment: With the 15-minute quest cooldown, expect to spend at least 10 hours just waiting between quests. Plan accordingly!

7. Awakened Rod (Mythical)

The newest addition to the fishing rod family, representing the ultimate fishing tool for dedicated anglers.

Requirements:

  • Complete 50 Angler Trust Quests in Hydra Town (Third Sea)
  • Specific materials are still being discovered by the community

Current Status: As of June 2026, the exact crafting requirements are still being updated. Join the official Discord for the latest information.

8. Admin Rod (Unobtainable)

The Admin Rod exists purely as a developer tool and isn’t obtainable through normal gameplay.

Features:

  • Can stun players infinitely
  • Drag multiple players simultaneously
  • Only given directly by admins/developers with hammer icons

Reality Check: Don’t waste time trying to get this rod – focus on obtainable gear instead!

Pro Strategies for Unlocking All Rods and Bait Efficiently

After helping dozens of players through their fishing journey, here are my tested strategies for maximum efficiency:

1. Quest Grinding Optimization

  • Quest Cooldown Management: Each Angler quest has a 15-minute cooldown. Use this time to:
    • Farm materials for future rod crafting
    • Level up your fishing passives
    • Complete quests in other seas simultaneously

2. Material Farming Routes

Wooden Planks Speed Farm:

  • Use Buddha fruit’s massive hitbox
  • Target Palm trees on Floating Turtle (Second Sea)
  • Average yield: 40-50 planks per hour

Fragment Optimization:

  • Participate in Sea Beast hunts during your quest cooldowns
  • Complete Raid bosses for guaranteed fragments
  • Join active crews for raid coordination

3. Progressive Sea Strategy

Since quest progress doesn’t transfer between seas, I recommend this order:

  1. First Sea: Complete all Gold Rod requirements first
  2. Second Sea: Focus on Shark Rod, then grind for Frozen Bait materials
  3. Third Sea: Dedicate time for the 40-50 quest grind for endgame rods

4. Fishing Level Power Leveling

Reach Fishing Level 20 quickly with these methods:

  • Fish in groups for experience bonuses (2.5% per player, max 15%)
  • Use the “4 catches = 1 level” rule regardless of your current level
  • Target areas with calm water and no enemy interference

Common Mistakes to Avoid

I’ve seen countless players waste hours due to these preventable mistakes:

1. Wrong Sea Crafting

Currently, a bug prevents certain recipes from appearing in Second and Third Sea. Always return to First Sea for Gold Rod crafting until this is fixed.

2. Ignoring Quest Requirements

Many players grind for materials before completing the required quests. Always check quest progress first!

3. Poor Bait Economy

Don’t waste premium bait with basic rods. Match your bait tier to your rod tier for optimal results.

4. Skipping Fishing Levels

Some players rush to get better rods without building fishing levels. Remember: higher fishing level = better base stats regardless of rod!

Future Updates and What to Expect?

The developers have hinted at exciting additions coming to the fishing system:

  • New Mythical Rods: Data miners found references to “Poseidon Rod” and “Leviathan Rod”
  • Bait Crafting Overhaul: Possible combination system for custom bait
  • Fishing Events: Seasonal events with exclusive rods and cosmetics
  • Rod Enchantments: System similar to sword enchantments for rods
