The Fluorescent Rod is one of the most popular mid to late game fishing rods in Fish It. It is known for its bright glow, increased night visibility, and strong attraction bonuses for rare and secret rarity fish.

If your goal is to farm high value catches or explore dark biomes efficiently, this rod becomes a major upgrade.

Below is the complete guide on how to get the Fluorescent Rod, where to acquire the materials, how crafting works, and why this rod is worth unlocking.

Ways To Get the Fluorescent Rod

There are two main methods to obtain the Fluorescent Rod in Fish It. You can buy it directly from the Rod Merchant, or you can craft it using rare materials.

Both are valid options depending on your progress and playstyle.

Buying the Fluorescent Rod from the Rod Shop

The simplest method is to purchase it directly from the Rod Merchant.

You can find the merchant on the main island. Interact with the Rod Shop and scroll to the Fluorescent Rod.

The price of the Fluorescent Rod is seven hundred fifteen thousand coins.

If you have been farming consistently or catching mid tier glowing fish, this amount is achievable. Buying it saves time since you skip the material grind.

When buying is a good idea

• You already have a strong money farming setup
• You prefer skipping material collection
• You want the rod immediately for night fishing or cave exploration

If you are short on coins or want to save money for future rods, crafting becomes your second option.

Crafting the Fluorescent Rod

Crafting allows you to build the Fluorescent Rod at a lower coin cost, but it requires specific materials. You must gather all crafting components first, then use the crafting station to finalize the rod.

Required materials

• Luminous Scales
• Glowing Crystals
• Nightwater Droplets

These materials drop from glowing fish species and from fish found in darker biomes like the Glow Caverns or underground lakes. Some of the higher tier glowing fish have a better chance of providing the needed resources.

Even after collecting the materials, crafting still requires a coin fee, but it is significantly cheaper than buying the rod outright.

When crafting is a good idea

• You enjoy farming glowing biomes
• You want to save money for future rod upgrades
• You already have some materials in storage

Crafting takes longer but is the more resource efficient path.

Why the Fluorescent Rod Is Worth Getting

The Fluorescent Rod is built for players who spend time fishing at night, exploring cave systems, or targeting rare glowing fish. Its passive effects make it one of the strongest utility rods in the game.

Better light radius

The rod creates a bright glow around your character, allowing you to navigate dark areas without requiring external light sources.

Night fishing bonuses

Fish are more attracted to your rod during the night cycle.
This means faster bite rates and quicker farming sessions.

Increased rare and secret fish spawn chances

Secret rarity fish and glowing species are more likely to spawn while using this rod. Players who want secret fish collections or high value glowing species benefit heavily from this boost.

Ideal for caves and dark biomes

Caves, glowing zones, and hidden underground lakes become far easier to explore with this rod since visibility increases and glowing fish spawn more frequently.

Fluorescent Rod Stats

The Fluorescent Rod has strong mid to late game stats that make it viable for progression.

• Luck: three hundred percent
• Speed: twenty three percent
• Weight: one hundred sixty thousand kilograms

These stats help you pull heavier fish faster while greatly improving your odds of finding high tier catches.

Best Places To Use the Fluorescent Rod

This rod shines in locations where visibility is low and glowing fish are common.

Recommended areas

• Night cycle fishing on the main island
• Glowing Biomes with luminous fish
• Cave zones with dark water pools
• Secret fish spawn points that only activate at night

Using the Fluorescent Rod in these locations dramatically increases your fishing efficiency and catch quality.

Final Words

The Fluorescent Rod is one of the best tools for players who want stronger night fishing performance, better rare fish attraction, and easier cave exploration.

Whether you purchase it with coins or craft it using glowing materials, it becomes a valuable upgrade in your fishing progression.

If you are aiming for secret rarity fish or want a rod that performs consistently in darker regions, unlocking the Fluorescent Rod should be a top priority.
