Simple Fishing Rod

The Simple Fishing Rod is the launch-build fishing tool in . It is the only item in the tool roster that does not expose a combat stat block: its item panel shows only a Weight value (3.0), because the rod is not designed to be swung as a weapon. Equipping it switches the character into a fishing animation and enables casting into ocean and lake tiles.

Crafting Prerequisites

All three ingredients sit behind meaningful upstream chains: requires the to chop, is produced from fiber resources at the dedicated rope-making station, and requires the Foothills biome and a working smelting line. Effectively, the Simple Fishing Rod is not a starter item. It unlocks once the Foothills economy is already running.

Uses

Fish from ocean or lake tiles to obtain Fish Fillets and other aquatic ingredients for mid-tier cooking.
Equip and cast from a pier, beach, or the deck of a ship to vary the catch pool by biome and depth.
Use worm bait dug with the for higher-value bites, per the standard dig-for-bait loop that the Shovel's Dig mode enables.

The fishing system that this rod feeds into is documented on the page, which covers catch tables, biome variation, and the cooking recipes that use Fish Fillets. For the broader farming and food loop, see the article.
