Iron Fishing Rod

The Iron Fishing Rod is a mid-to-late fishing tool that becomes available after obtaining Fishing Licence Level 3 from Fletch. Once unlocked, it can be crafted at the Crafting Table and serves as a stronger upgrade over the copper fishing rod for regular fishing.

Its main advantage is durability. Compared with the copper fishing rod, the Iron Fishing Rod has higher line durability and is much harder to break, making it a reliable choice for longer fishing sessions and for players who want a sturdier rod before moving on to higher-tier options. It is also the fastest rod for reeling fish in quickly, which makes it especially useful when trying to catch multiple fish in a short period of time.

The Iron Fishing Rod also has a unique role in shark fishing. It is the only fishing rod that can hook sharks and bring them onto land, making it essential for anyone aiming to catch sharks rather than just standard fish. Because of that, it is not only a general-purpose upgrade but also a required tool for this specific type of catch.

• Can be crafted at the Crafting Table after reaching Fishing Licence Level 3 with Fletch.
• Has higher line durability than the copper fishing rod.
• Reels in fish faster than other rods.
• Can hook sharks and drag them onto land.
• Its durability can be repaired at the Repair Table.

Because it combines speed, durability, and shark-catching capability, the Iron Fishing Rod is one of the most important fishing tools in the game once it becomes available.
