Best Rod Order — Flimsy to the Depths
Updated Jul 14, 2026
The route
Stage 1Early (0 – 10k C$)
Flimsy → Lucky Rod the moment you have ¤1,200. Luck changes everything you catch. Add the Carbon or Fast Rod for comfort.
Stage 2Mid (10k – 100k C$)
Steady Rod is the best value in the game — its forgiving reel bar lands fish above your weight class. Fortune Rod if you want faster money instead.
Stage 3End game
Trident Rod for open-ocean power, then save everything for the Rod of the Depths (¤1.25M). It's the ticket to Mythicals and the Megalodon hunt. The Astral Rod is its night-fishing rival — see the tier list for the matchup.
