Fish an Anime RNG Fishing Rods Tier List
SSS–F rankings with luck, speed, and strength for all 12 rods.
Fishing rods are the most transparent power spike in Fish an Anime RNG on Roblox. Each rod bundles luck, catch speed, and total strength into one purchase gated by rebirth count and cash cost. The September 2026 update added three new rods to the plaza NPC, bringing the total to twelve fishing rods.
Use this list alongside the rebirth guide, fishing and ponds guide, and luck upgrades.
Full fishing rods tier list (September 2026)
Rankings reflect overall progression value — not single-stat vanity. The three new rods added in the September 2026 patch are noted; exact stats should be verified against the live plaza NPC.
| Tier | Rod | Luck | Speed | Total Strength | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SSS | Rod of Heaven’s | 22,500x | 7.5x | 27,500 | Endgame rod; ~150 rebirths + ~25Q cash |
| SS | Void Rod | 4,700x | 7.5x | 7,850 | Late-game bridge rod |
| S | Astral Rod | 1,150x | 7.5x | 1,700 | Strong mid-late pickup |
| A | Ruby Rod | 720x | 7.5x | 920 | Reliable mid game |
| B | Gold Rod | 410x | 7.5x | 550 | First major luck spike |
| C | Amethyst Rod | 210x | 5.5x | 300 | Early-mid transition |
| D | Ice Rod | 80x | 3.75x | 180 | Starter upgrade path |
| E | Iron Rod | 30x | 2.5x | 75 | Post-tutorial rod |
| F | Steel Rod | 8x | 1.25x | 15 | Tutorial default |
Three new rods were added in the September 2026 patch. One carries the exclusive Complexity Mutation system. Exact stats and Rebirth gates for the new rods are still being verified in the live plaza NPC — community screenshots from the first hours post-patch showed inconsistent displays. Do not dismantle existing rods until you have confirmed the new rods’ gates and costs.
How to buy fishing rods
- Travel to the plaza Fishing Rods NPC.
- View locked and unlocked rods in the shop UI.
- Meet the rebirth requirement shown on each rod.
- Pay the cash cost from platform income.
- Equip the new rod before your next pond session.
Locked rods gray out until you reach their rebirth gate. Farm rebirths using the rebirth cost table rather than grinding cash without resetting.
Rod priority by account stage
Early game (Rebirth 1–3): Iron → Ice → Amethyst as gates unlock. Prioritize any rod that doubles luck over saving for distant tiers.
Mid game (Rebirth 4–20): Gold → Ruby → Astral. Pair purchases with food leveling on your income carry. Two new September rods fill gaps between Astral and Void.
Late game (20+ rebirths): Void Rod → the new Complexity Mutation rod → save for Rod of Heaven’s. Activate gem farming after Rebirth 5 so cash and gems fund the final stretch.
The September 2026 new rods
The September 2026 patch introduced three new rods to the plaza NPC. Community reports during the first hours of the update showed inconsistent stat displays — a common post-patch artifact that typically resolves within 24 hours.
The most notable addition is the rod with the Complexity Mutation exclusive: unlike standard mutations that apply a flat multiplier, Complexity Mutation stacks when triggered repeatedly on the same character. Each successive trigger raises the multiplier further rather than refreshing it, making this rod a long-term investment for active farmers.
The other two new rods fill the gap between Astral Rod and Void Rod, giving players at Rebirth 10–40 a meaningful upgrade path that previously had a steep stat cliff.
Rod of Heaven’s: endgame target
The Rod of Heaven’s sits alone in SSS tier because its luck multiplier dwarfs every other rod. Unlock requirements reported by the community include roughly 150 rebirths and 25 quadrillion cash — a long-term goal, not a week-one purchase.
Treat Heaven’s as a compass: every earlier rod purchase is a stepping stone toward that stat profile.
Mistakes to avoid
- Skipping B/C tiers because they feel boring — luck per cash often peaks in mid tiers.
- Buying a rod without rebirth gate — shop will not allow it; wasted planning time.
- Ignoring speed — luck without casts per minute underperforms.
- Forgoing codes — Cosmic Boxes fund rod savings faster than passive fishing alone.
- Dismantling existing rods before confirming new rod stats — wait 24 hours post-patch for stable displays.
