The fishing rod is an item used to catch fish through the Fishing skill. It can be bought from various fishing shops. To use a fishing rod, one will need fishing bait (except sandworms for anglerfish) to catch fish. It can be bought from fishing stores for 5 coins. There is also a fishing rod spawn in a house on south-eastern side of Entrana.
The equipable version of the fishing rod, the pearl fishing rod, can be bought with molch pearls from Alry the Angler.
