Although sheer will and admiration towards aquatic life go a long way for every angler, there is no fishing without a proper rod! In Fishing Clash, rods can be accessed through the GEAR button on the main screen. Rods allow players to boost their chances and stats while fishing.
Rods have a starting level of 1 and can be upgraded to level 7. Each one is assigned to a specific fishery and can be only used there. Additionally, each rod has basic stats and perks that affect its performance during fishing sessions.
Each rod has the same basic stats, which increase with the rod’s level. These stats include:
• Chance of Instant Catch: the percentage chance of adding one Instant Catch counter when you cast the line.
• Combo points bonus: this stat increases the maximum Combo bonus points awarded to your combo when catching fish.
• Combo points bonus: this stat increases the maximum Combo bonus points awarded to your combo when catching fish.
Additionally, all rods share similar perks useful in fishing. Depending on the rod’s level, anglers will enjoy the various bonuses these perks provide:
• Level 1 – a bigger weight for fish with the described rod rarity
• Level 2 – a better Sonar value or better Luck for fish with the described rod rarity
• Level 3 – a better weight for specific fish with the described rod rarity
• Level 4 – a better Sonar value or better Luck for fish with the described rod rarity
• Level 5 – a better weight for all caught fish
• Level 6 – a better chance of catching bigger fish, for fish with the described rod rarity
• Level 7 – a better Weight bonus for fish with the described rod rarity
• Level 1 – a bigger weight for fish with the described rod rarity
• Level 2 – a better Sonar value or better Luck for fish with the described rod rarity
• Level 3 – a better weight for specific fish with the described rod rarity

• Level 5 – a better weight for all caught fish

So, if you feel there is potential in an obtained rod, try upgrading it even further! Also, remember, you don't need to stop there! Stronger rods have slots for additional bonuses, so it is recommended to explore these to further increase your fishing power and angling abilities with such rods.
All rod perks and bonuses can be redrawn by pressing the DRAW button. Players can choose which value will be redrawn. This costs five pearls. It is not guaranteed that the drawn value will be better. In such cases, the higher bonus value will remain attached to the rod.
