Fisch Rods Tier List

Fishing Rods Tier List! With so many rods to choose from—some brand new and others tried-and-true—this guide will help you pick the best rods for making money, gaining XP, and overall fishing efficiency. We’ve ranked them from S (the absolute best) down to C (serviceable but overshadowed by better options). No rods landed in D this time, because many of the low-tier rods see little use once you upgrade.

S Tier – “Top of the Line”

Eel Prism Rod

• Why S Tier?
  • Unmatched Money-Making: Huge multiplier (e.g., 50% chance of an 8× mutation), making it the best for high-profit catches.
  • Recommended Enchant: Steady + Lure Speed enhancements.
  • Overall: If you want maximum profits, this is your top pick.

No-Life Rod

• Why S Tier?
  • Elite All-Rounder: Fantastic for both XP grinding and money-farming.
  • Ease of Use: Consistent performance across most fishing zones and events.
  • Overall: A favorite among dedicated fishers, though some might prefer Eel Prism for pure profit.

A Tier – “Excellent Choices”

Challenger Rod

• Why A Tier?
  • Balanced: Offers good money-making potential and respectable XP gains.
  • 20% Progress Speed Modifier: Faster catch times for quick leveling and profits.
  • Overall: A “jack-of-all-trades” rod, especially for mid-to-high-level players.

Poseidon Rod

• Why A Tier?
  • Strong Personal Favorite: Many enjoy its design and solid stats.
  • Good Catch Rate: Competitive in both XP and coin efficiency.
  • Overall: Eye-catching and reliable, but not as specialized as S-tier rods.

Tempest Rod

• Why A Tier?
  • Excellent Speed and Catch Efficiency: Great for leveling and coin gain.
  • Popular and Trusted: A longtime go-to rod for players focusing on consistent performance.

Heaven’s Rod

• Why A Tier?
  • High Stats, Solid Abilities: Good for advanced fishers seeking a versatile option.
  • Falling Popularity: Some prefer the newer rods, but it remains a proven performer.

B Tier – “Decent but Outshined”

Leviathan Fang Rod

• Why B Tier?
  • Specific Utility: Comes with a “slash” ability and a 50% resilience, good for hunting big targets (like Hydra).
  • Not Ideal for General Play: Lower money and XP gains compared to A or S tiers.

Zeus Rod

• Why B Tier?
  • High Potential: Solid stats, lightning-themed utility.
  • Slightly Overshadowed: Lacks the extreme multipliers or special passives of top-tier rods.

Rod of the Depths / Rod of the Exalted / Abyssal Spectral Rod

• Why B Tier?
  • Mid-Level: Good for progression but can’t compete with specialized passives or multipliers.
  • Niche Appeal: Cool appearances and moderate stats, but overshadowed by A/S rods.

C Tier – “Niche or Starting Options”

Rod of the Zenith

• Why C Tier?
  • Interesting Mechanic: Gradually decreases resilience if you’re precise, but not enough to justify the high cost (e.g., 10 million).
  • Overall: Fun gimmick but low practicality.

Volcanic Rod

• Why C Tier?
  • Chance at Ashen Mutation (20%): Decent for mid-level money farming.
  • Still Inferior to Others: Doesn’t offer anything standout besides its unique mutation chance.

Champion’s Rod (Various Others)

• Why C Tier?
  • Generic: Adequate stats but nothing that pushes it into higher tiers.
  • Outclassed: Quickly replaced by rods with stronger passives or better multipliers.

For pure profit, the Eel Prism Rod reigns supreme thanks to its massive multiplier and synergy with enchants like Steady. If you’re aiming for a balanced approach, rods like the No-Life Rod, Challenger Rod, and Poseidon Rod offer top-notch flexibility for both XP and currency gains. Meanwhile, rods in B and C Tier still have their moments—particularly in niche events or boss-hunting—yet they can’t match the standout advantages of the higher tiers. Choose wisely, and happy fishing!
