In this page, we’ll check how you can get the fishing rod, as well as its functions and upgrades. So, let’s get started!

How to get the Fishing Rod

So how can you get the Fishing Rod in order to start catching Fish and other creatures? This till isn’t provided to you by Victor, but it will be given by one of the Residents in Olive Town. In order to get the Fishing Rod, you’ll have to go to Marcos’ House and meet Manuela. You can find the house on the lower right side of Olive Town, just nearby the beach.

Upon entering the house for the first time, Manuela will be providing you with the Fishing Rod. This item will be placed in your Tool Bag similar to the other tools you have used. You can bring the Fishing Rod out when you only plan to Fish, so keep it in the bag to save space if you’re not using it.

Fishing Rod Functions

As the name of the tool implies, the Fishing Rod is used for fishing. If you’re in front of bodies of water such as the ocean, you’ll be able to cast a line with your fishing rod and wait for a bite. Fish isn’t the only creature you can get, but there are other types as well such as crustaceans and more. Once you get a bite, you’ll have to reel the fish in.

A bar will appear on the right side, and you’ll have to reel the Fish in until the icon reaches the top. In order to successfully reel the fish, just pull whenever the fish icon is color white or blue. If the icon is red, the fish will try to get away so you must wait for the icon to stop being red. Fish you acquire can be donated to the Olive Museum and be placed in the Aquarium, and the rest can be sold for extra Income, or be used for Cooking in your kitchen. Upgrading the Fishing rod will let you catch more types of fish.
