The Boom Ball Rod in Fisch isn’t your average fishing tool. It’s a secret rod hidden behind one of the strangest unlock requirements in the game, and it completely changes how you fish.
Instead of boosting luck or lure speed, it transforms your catches with explosive effects, literally.
If you’ve seen other players wielding it and wondered how to get your hands on one, this guide will walk you through everything: unlock steps, stats, passives, and the best enchantments to use.
How to Unlock the Boom Ball Rod
The Boom Ball Rod is obtained at a hidden location called Detonator’s Rest. Getting there is tricky and requires intentional deaths. Here’s the exact process:
1.Go to the Desolate Deep biome
- Travel to this deep-sea zone. It’s home to Sea Mines, which are the key to unlocking the rod.
2. Die to Sea Mines 25 times
- Each time you collide with a Sea Mine, you’ll die.
- After your 25th death, nothing special happens yet.
3. Trigger the 26th detonation
- On the 26th time you die to a Sea Mine, instead of respawning normally, you’ll be teleported to Detonator’s Rest.
4. Purchase the Boom Ball Rod
- At Detonator’s Rest, you can buy the rod for 1,000,000 C$.
- Make sure you have enough cash saved, since dying repeatedly will drain some of your money.
Tips for Unlocking
Set your spawn point in the Desolate Deep to save time between deaths.
Keep extra money in reserve. Each death costs you cash, so ensure you’ll still have 1M C$ after 26 detonations.
Bring patience – this unlock method is deliberately grindy.
Fisch Boom Ball Rod Stats
Here are the official stats of the Boom Ball Rod:
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Lure Speed | 0% |
| Luck | 0% |
| Control | 0.5 (80% bar) |
| Resilience | -500% |
| Max Weight | Infinite KG |
| Line Distance | 2m |
| Passive | 50% chance for fish to adopt the Exploded Mutation (0.1x value) but with +100% Progress Speed |
What the Stats Mean
- Control Bar (Huge Advantage) – With 80% of the reel covered, perfect catches are much easier, even against high-resilience fish.
- Terrible Lure & Luck (0%) – No natural boosts to bite speed or rare fish chances.
- -500% Resilience – Makes fish fights tougher without enchant support.
- Exploded Mutation – Many catches will be worth less (0.1x value), but reel faster thanks to +100% progress speed.
- Infinite Max Weight – Lets you technically reel in any fish, no matter how heavy.
Best Enchantments for the Boom Ball Rod
Since the base stats are unusual, the right enchants are key to making this rod usable.
1. Default Enchant: Momentum
-
Effect: Every Perfect Catch increases Lure Speed, Resilience, and Progress Speed by +2% (up to +30%). Regular catches reduce it by -4%.
-
Why: With such a large control bar, perfect catches are easy to land, making this enchant a natural fit to counter the resilience penalty.
2. Exalted Relic Enchant: Piercing
-
Effect: Stab fish during reeling to add +15% Progress Speed.
-
Why: Complements the rod’s progress speed passive, making reels incredibly fast.
3. Cosmic Relic Enchant: Cryogenic
-
Effect: Chance to freeze fish during the catch minigame.
-
Why: Freezing helps control difficult fish when resilience penalties kick in.
Is the Boom Ball Rod Worth It?
Pros
- Unique and fun — no other rod plays like it.
- Huge control bar makes perfect catches easy.
- Exploded Mutation passive drastically speeds up progress.
- Infinite Max Weight lets you technically handle any fish.
Cons
- Very expensive (1,000,000 C$ + death penalty).
- 0% Luck and Lure Speed = terrible for rare or fast catches.
- Exploded fish are worth much less (0.1x value).
- Niche use-case — not good for farming valuable fish.
Verdict: The Boom Ball Rod is more of a fun secret weapon than a practical farming tool. If you want efficiency and money, stick to other high-end rods. If you want chaos, explosions, and bragging rights, it’s absolutely worth the grind.
