In Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream you will be able to kick back beside a pond and do some fishing after a hard day's work fighting monsters. This How to get a Fishing Rod will tell you how you get this item, so you can participate in this relaxing pastime.
Unfortunately Sophie does not have a fishing rod so in order for her to enjoy a bit of fishing you will need to craft her one. You will not be able to purchase or find a fishing Rod, it must be crafted. The recipe for Sophie to craft a Fishing Rod will be added to her repertoire automatically several hours after you arrive in Erde Wiege. When this happens you will also receive the Tasty Bait which is one of three ingredients you require for fishing. The other two ingredients you need to craft the fishing rod are one Lumber and two Threads. So to recap, to craft the fishing rod the three ingredients you will need are:
Tasty Bait
Lumber
Threads x2
