Alright, let’s talk about the Shark Rod. If you’ve been messing with fishing in Blox Fruits for a while, you’ve probably realized the basic rod isn’t gonna cut it forever. It’s fine for learning the minigame, but once you see people flexing insane catches and treasure chests, you’ll want something better. That’s where the Shark Rod comes in because it’s probably the best fishing rod in the game right now.
How You Actually Get Shark Rod in Blox Fruits
This isn’t one of those “walk up and buy it” type items. To unlock the Shark Rod, you need to grind out 15 Angler’s Trust Quests. And those quests only unlock once you’ve already been fishing a bit. So the order is basically:
- Get the basic Fishing Rod from the Fisherman (Frozen Village, Rose, or Port Town, depending on what sea you’re in).
- Do some fishing until you’re allowed to talk to the Angler NPCs.
- Grind through his quests. A lot of quests. After 15, he’ll finally hand you the Shark Rod.
It’s a bit of a grind, but to be fair, fishing’s meant to be a slow-burn side activity anyway.
Is Shark Rod Worth Unlocking in Blox Fruits?
Here’s the thing: the Shark Rod makes fishing actually worth it. With the basic rod you’ll mostly pull up junk and the occasional rare catch. With the Shark Rod, you start seeing way more treasure chests, rarer fish, and special crafting drops. Sometimes you even get fragments or Blox Fruits from those chests, which feels amazing after sitting there watching a little fish icon slide around for ten minutes.
Plus, it makes the whole minigame less punishing. You’ll level mastery faster, get better passives, and just feel less like you’re wasting your bait.
Enchants and Buffs
One of the coolest things about the Shark Rod is that you can slap enchantments on it. Scrolls drop from fishing sometimes (or you can get them from the Dragon Talon Sage), and they give your rod extra perks. Stuff like:
- Baitless Catch (less reliance on bait)
- Tasty Bait (better odds with certain fish)
- Reel Boost (the fish fights back less)
- Or even curses like Curse of the Leviathan, which is powerful but risky
It makes your rod feel less like just a tool and more like a build you can customize.
What You Can Do With Fish
Here’s where things get kinda underrated. Fish aren’t just for selling to the Fisherman. You can actually craft some useful potions and items:
- Fish Kebab for healing (life saver mid-grind)
- Lava Potion for lava immunity
- Loot Seeker to make finding treasure chests easier
- Fortune Elixir for extra money
Some of the rarer catches unlock even crazier potions that can help in combat or farming. Honestly, this is the part most people sleep on, fishing isn’t just some random minigame, it actually feeds back into the rest of your progression.
