What to know
- Craftable Stage 6 fishing rod introduced with the Tidefall update
- Extremely low lure speed balanced by strong stats and a unique passive
- Requires Scrap Metal and Anchors from specific activities
- Best used for farming hunt fish and passive-trigger abuse
The Anchor N’ Chain Rod is one of the most distinctive mid-to-late progression tools in Fisch. Rather than offering clean, balanced stats, it leans heavily into a high-risk, high-reward design. If you’re willing to tolerate painfully slow bite times, this rod can return multiple fish from a single catch thanks to its passive, making it especially valuable for targeted farming.

What makes the Anchor N’ Chain Rod different
Unlike most rods that improve consistency or speed, Anchor N’ Chain is built around a guaranteed payoff per catch rather than more frequent catches. The defining feature is its passive ability, which can cause additional fish to be pulled in whenever you successfully reel one in.
In practice, this means fewer bites overall, but significantly more value from each successful interaction. If you’re fishing in zones where every catch matters, this design can outperform faster rods.
How to get the Anchor N’ Chain Rod in Fisch
Step 1: Unlock access to Tidefall content
You need progression far enough to access Tidefall-era locations, including areas with whirlpools and crab cage fishing. Earlier zones will not provide the materials required.
Step 2: Gather Scrap Metal
Scrap Metal is obtained by fishing in whirlpools using Garbage bait, most effectively in deeper zones.
- Equip Garbage bait
- Fish directly inside whirlpools
- Expect low-value catches until Scrap Metal appears
This step is time-consuming and benefits greatly from rods with higher luck before switching to Anchor N’ Chain later.
Step 3: Collect Anchors from crab cages
Anchors drop from crab cages found in Tidefall areas.
- Deploy crab cages in the new zone
- Check them regularly
- Anchors are not guaranteed, so multiple cages help
Step 4: Craft the rod at a crafting station
Once you have enough Scrap Metal and Anchors, head to a valid crafting station and assemble the rod. No purchase or NPC interaction is involved beyond crafting.

Passive ability explained
The rod’s passive allows extra fish to be caught from a single reel-in. Testing shows the passive triggering extremely frequently, often on every successful catch.
This makes the rod particularly effective for:
- Hunt fish farming
- Repeated mutation attempts
- Material-based progression
A special Rusty mutation is also associated with the rod, though it applies a negative multiplier and is generally undesirable unless required for completion tracking.
How to use the Anchor N’ Chain Rod effectively
- Because bite frequency is low, avoid casual fishing spots. Focus on locations where every catch contributes directly to progression.
- This rod rewards patience. Short sessions feel inefficient, but long farming runs allow the passive to offset the slow lure speed.
- If a hunt requires catching the same species multiple times, the extra-fish passive can drastically reduce completion time.
When the Anchor N’ Chain Rod is worth using in Fisch
The Anchor N’ Chain Rod is not designed to feel good moment-to-moment, but it excels strategically. If you approach Fisch with a long-term efficiency mindset, this rod can outperform many higher-speed alternatives in the right scenarios. It’s a progression tool first, and a comfort rod second.
- You are farming hunt fish
- You want to maximize output per successful catch
- You already own faster rods for casual fishing
- You’re progressing through crafting-focused content
It is not ideal for quick money farming or casual exploration fishing due to its slow pacing.
