Notes
This rod is best suited for collecting trash to complete your bestiary. After you obtain a better rod, it will go unused unless you're fishing in the The Ocean or The Depths where trash is abundant. It's best to abstain from enchanting this rod due to its abysmal stats.
Enchantments
Just like any other early-game rod, it is not recommended to spend money to Enchant the due to its obsolescence as the player progresses in the game. (This is only recommended for players who don't want to obtain the.) Due to it's low stat however, it can be used in niche cases, which are only recommended for well off players. It's low stat allows fish above it's threshold to be cut off from the loot table, allowing fish within the limit, such as rare fish like the to be singled out from a larger loot table. Should a player be willing to spend some Relics for such a purpose, they may enchant this rod with any non boosting Enchantments to catch low weight but high rarity fish, such as the aforementioned Pufferfish. Any non boosting Enchantments help as or can catch fish faster, and and/or can help with catching erratic fish.
Strategy
There is a counterpart to the Flimsy Rod called the Upside-Down Rod, that has the same stats BUT you can get the Upside-Down mutation from it.
