What to know
- Masterline Rod is widely described as the highest-stage rod (Stage 13) with extreme stats like 1000% lure speed and 350% luck.
- The standard requirement is completing the Bestiary and Rod Journal (with limited-time items often excluded in current guides).
- Some sources also mention a level requirement (commonly cited as level 1000) in addition to completion.
- A “free Masterline Rod” method circulates as a glitch sequence, but it can be patched or fail depending on timing and conditions.
Masterline Rod in Roblox sits at the end of Fisch’s progression and is generally framed as a completion reward rather than a normal shop purchase.
Understanding the stats below helps when working through Bestiary and Rod Journal completion since it reduces the number of wasted casts and failed reels.
| Stat | What it changes | Why it matters for completion grind |
|---|---|---|
| Lure speed | How quickly fish bite | More catches per minute, faster Bestiary progress |
| Luck | Chance to catch rarer fish | Helps target rare Bestiary entries without excessive retries |
| Control | Size of reeling control bar | More consistency on difficult fish |
| Resilience | How erratic fish movement feels while reeling | Reduces fail rate on tougher fish |
| Max kg | Maximum weight that can be caught | Prevents hard stops on heavy fish entries |
Masterline Rod requirements and stats at a glance
Current guides and community references repeat the same core unlock concept: finish the Bestiary and the Rod Journal, with limited-time fish and rods typically not required for this specific unlock path.
| Item | What it is | How it’s obtained (most common) | Extra gates cited |
|---|---|---|---|
| Masterline Rod | Stage 13 endgame rod | Complete Bestiary + Rod Journal (often excluding limited-time items) | Level 1000 is commonly cited by at least one community reference |
Reported Masterline Rod stats and passives
Multiple guides describe Masterline Rod’s headline stats as 1000% lure speed, 350% luck, 0.15 control, 50% resilience, and infinite max kg.
Some sources also list passives focused on faster catch progress and mutation chances (exact wording varies by guide).
| Stat / effect | Value or description (as reported) |
|---|---|
| Lure speed | 1000% |
| Luck | 350% |
| Control | 0.15 |
| Resilience | 50% |
| Max kg | Infinite |
| Passives | Progress speed boosts and mutation-related effects (varies by guide) |
How the legit unlock works in practice (Bestiary + Rod Journal)
Even though the requirement sounds simple, completion is time-intensive because it implies catching nearly everything and obtaining every permanent rod entry.
The “excluding limited-time fish and rods” rule shows up repeatedly in Masterline Rod explanations, so completion targets usually focus on permanent content rather than time-gated items.
What each collection usually expects
The Bestiary generally advances by catching fish entries, while the Rod Journal advances by acquiring rods; guides that mention Masterline Rod treat both as required.
| Collection | What typically counts | What many guides say is excluded for Masterline unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Bestiary | Catching fish across locations | Limited-time fish |
| Rod Journal | Obtaining rods (permanent set) | Limited-time rods |
Why rod stats matter while grinding completion
Rod stats influence speed and consistency: lure speed impacts how quickly fish bite, luck boosts odds of rarer fish, control changes reeling bar size, resilience reduces fish movement difficulty, and max kg caps what can be caught.
When targeting late-game bestiary entries, higher luck and sufficient max kg reduce wasted casts on commons and prevent hard stops on heavier fish.
How to get Masterline Rod for free (glitch route) and what can go wrong
A circulating method claims Masterline Rod can be obtained “for free” by forcing a specific state through settings changes, Merchant interaction loops, cage placement, ship spawning, cross-island NPC interactions, and a timed rejoin after waiting about two hours.
This method is not an official unlock condition and can stop working at any time, especially if interaction behavior or inventory/state syncing is changed by an update.
Conditions the glitch description insists on
The walkthrough emphasizes that some catches must be an actual fish (not a box/crate), and one later fishing step must be done while standing on land rather than being in the water.
It also warns that ending the Merchant “sell” loop incorrectly (pressing “never mind” instead of walking away) may break the sequence.
How to do the “free Masterline Rod” glitch
The steps below keep the same sequence and constraints described in the attached walkthrough, and each step includes the timestamp used in that walkthrough’s transcript.
Step 1
Set Accessibility options to disable environmental effects (environment tints), then close the menu.
Step 2
Equip a rod, cast into the water while a boat is out, press Sit, and intentionally fail the catch once.
Step 3
Go to the Merchant, choose the sell dialogue (“I’d like to sell this”) with empty hands, then back out with “never mind.”
Step 4
Return to the water, cast again, and catch an actual fish (not a box/crate).
Step 5
Go back to the Merchant and sell the fish that was just caught.
Step 6
Buy a crab cage, go to the water, and place exactly one crab cage.
Step 7 (00:03:34)
Return to the Merchant and click the sell option multiple times in a row, then walk away without pressing “never mind.”
Step 8
Go to the ship NPC, open the ship menu, and spawn any ship (spawning another ship also works if one is already out).
Step 9
Interact with an NPC that has dialogue options (not a vendor-style menu-only NPC); opening the dialogue is enough.
Step 10
Travel to a different island (any island), then interact with a dialogue NPC there as well.
Step 11
Fish on the new island from land (standing on land), and catch an actual fish; failing is okay as long as a fish is caught.
Step 12
Open settings/preferences, enable auto-sell for crates,
then fish one more time (the catch can be anything).
Step 13
Buy a bait crate, then optionally turn crate auto-sell back off.
Step 14
Take a boat back to the first island used at the start of the sequence.
Step 15
At the Merchant, open the equipment bag and favorite two rods.
Step 16
Equip a different bait than the currently equipped bait (do not unequip and re-equip the same bait).
Step 17
Leave, wait about 2 hours, then rejoin and check inventory for the Masterline Rod.
Practical troubleshooting if it doesn’t work
If an inventory refresh is expected after waiting, the most likely breakpoints described are failing to catch a real fish at the required moments or accidentally ending the Merchant spam step with “never mind.”
If the land-fishing requirement is skipped during the second-island catch, the described sequence is no longer being followed as stated.
Rewards in Fisch: Masterline Rod (Masterline Rod unlock)
The central reward discussed for either full collection completion or the claimed free method is obtaining the Masterline Rod itself.
| Reward | Type | How it’s tied to the goal |
|---|---|---|
| Masterline Rod | Rod (Stage 13) | Earned via Bestiary + Rod Journal completion in many guides; alternatively claimed via a glitch sequence in the attached walkthrough |
