Overview[1]
The Rod Of The Forgotten Fang is a Stage Fishing Rod acquired by Crafting.
The Rod of the Forgotten Fang (RotFF) is a mid-game craftable rod whose recipe is unlocked at Level 700. It bears great all-rounder stats, with an exceptional of. It has two passives, the first one being a fish mutated with Tidal after 3 perfect catches. This also boosts the weight by 25-50%. The second passive makes the rod have a 25% chance to mutate a fish with Tidal. Its stats and abilities make the RotFF a viable mid-game alternative to the Rod of the Depths which has similar stats and abilities. However, most people prefer the Rod of the Depths due to it having much easier obtainment criteria and its ability being more reliable. The stats of The Rod of The Forgotten Fang is comparable to some of the best rods in the entire game. But it is yet to be reevaluated due to a later buff (which some say may make it the best rod in the entire game).

Patch history
The Rod of the Forgotten Fang's base of, was the third highest of any obtainable rod in the game, behind the No-Life Rod until the release of the Northern Expedition update. There was a bug where the meg duped the fish you caught instead of giving a higher tier fish, which was later fixed in update 1.16.0. İf you caught a Mythical during a Megalodon, Orca migration, or Kraken event in a certain hotfix you will be guaranteed to get THE Hunt fish including guaranteed Secret fish, however this is now fixed in new servers.
