Here is your complete guide to finding, unlocking, and mastering the Splitbranch Twig rod.

Passive Ability: Selective Fishing

The standout feature of this rod is the ability to target specific fish species. This makes it an essential tool for players looking to complete their Bestiary or hunt for specific mutations without the interference of common “trash” catches.How-to-Get-Split-branch-Twig-Rod-2

How to Unlock the Splitbranch Twig

Getting your hands on this rod requires more than just cash—you’ll need to prove your skills under the moonlight.

Step 1: Find the Secret Location

Travel to Everturn Forest. Look for a high ledge featuring a distinct dried-up tree. Tucked away beneath the roots of this tree, you will find the Splitbranch Twig resting on the ground.

Step 2: Meet the Requirement

When you first interact with the rod, you won’t be able to buy it immediately. The game will issue a challenge: You must achieve 5 Perfect Catches at Night.

  • Strategy: Equip a rod with high Control and use Nocturnal Bait to speed up the process. The catches do not need to be consecutive, but they must occur during the in-game night cycle.

Step 3: Purchase for 25,000 C$

Once you have secured your 5 perfect night catches, return to the dried tree in Everturn Forest. You can now purchase the rod for 25,000 C$. It will be added directly to your inventory.

Best Enchants for the Splitbranch Twig

Because this rod has a negative control stat, your choice of enchantment is crucial for making it feel “smooth” to use.

  • Control: This is the top recommendation. It offsets the -0.1 penalty, making the reeling minigame much easier to manage.

  • Luck: If you are using the rod to target rare species, stacking more luck on top of its base 100% will maximize your chances for Mythical or Legendary variants.

  • Resilience: At 45% base resilience, adding a boost here helps you safely reel in those heavier 20,000 kg catches without snapping your line.

Is the Splitbranch Twig Worth It?

The Splitbranch Twig is a situational powerhouse.

If you are just “grinding” for money or general XP, there are better rods with higher Lure Speeds and positive Control.

However, for Bestiary completionists or players hunting for a specific rare fish for a quest, this rod is arguably the best in the game. It saves time by filtering out the fish you don’t want, making your sessions far more efficient.
