Fishing areas and the rod strength you need
Table
Check your current rod's Strength stat before travelling to a new area. Arriving without the minimum means you cannot fish there.
| Area | Min. Rod Strength | Rarest star available |
|---|---|---|
| Milky Way | 1 | Epic |
| Andromeda | 4 | Mythic |
| Hoag's Object | 6 | Mythic |
| Centaurus A | 6 | Mythic |
| The Eye | 6 | Interstellar |
| Spore Galaxy | 6 | Galactic |
| Negative Galaxy | 9 | Galactic |
Upgrading your rod and bobber
Tips
Rods are sold at the Rod Merchant up to the Space Rod ($15,000) and Moon Rod ($35,000). Beyond that, you need to unlock specific locations. The Crystal Rod and Crystal Bobber only become available after you gain access to Crystal Cave. The Frozen Flame Rod and Bobber are sold at the Library, and the Crimson and Fungal lines are tied to Shadow Crypts and the Glowing Grotto respectively.
- The Plastic Rod costs just $5 and immediately raises your Strength to 2 and your Luck to +15.
- Bobbers matter as much as rods: the Basic Bobber ($5) lets you hold 3 stars at once instead of 1.
- The Crystal Rod (+8 Strength, +400 Luck) and Crystal Bobber (+200 Luck, 9-star capacity) are available in Crystal Cave.
- The Fungal Rod costs $15,000,067 and the Fungal Bobber the same amount — they require reaching the Glowing Grotto.
