What does this mean?
Fisch's in-game currency. A fish's value is its documented average sell price in C$ — what it sells for at its average weight. A rod's value is its documented shop cost. Both are in-game facts from the community wiki, not a trading consensus. Values are not comparable across games.

Trivia
Dead Man's Rod is one of the most tedious rods to obtain in the whole game, requiring the player to spend HOURS grinding for the rod because of the treasure map hunting process, and the way Sunken Chests are spawned, being every 1 hour and 10 minutes.
