The Second Sea brought a slew of new content for Fisch, but the jury is still out on whether it was the right choice. Arguably, the Second Sea currently feels more like starting Fisch as a level 1 player (but a different location), than an update. Since the Second Sea seems like it wants to replace the First Sea, we figured it was only fair we make a new Rod Tier List for it. Here is the Fisch Second Sea Rod Tier List.

Fisch 2nd Sea Rod Tier List

In case you don’t already know, all First Sea rods are nerfed in the Second Sea. Almost all of them have a Lure Speed of 0%, and all of them have their Stats reduced by 50%. Even though First Sea Rods are, technically, still very useful and even better in many cases, most players are using the new Second Sea Rods. Don’t worry, many Rods from the First Sea will still be on the list, but if you want to fish effectively, in the new Sea, you’re going to have to get some of the new ones.
With that said, definitely check back frequently because as better Second Sea Rods get added, they will undoubtedly replace many of the rods here. Without further ado, here it is:
Note: Our Fisch Rod Tier List – Best Rods to Use is still relevant for the First Sea, so if you’re still working your way to the Second Sea, check it out.
Best XP Farming Rods in the Second Sea

All the Rods below are expected to have the Clever enchant for a x2.25 XP boost.
| Tier | Rod Name | Info |
| S | ![]() Free Spirit Rod | Currently, the most preferred rod in the Second Sea. It has a stab ability like the Trident Rod, and it has really good luck. |
| A | ![]() Great Dreamer Rod | In stats, this rod is better than the Free Spirit Rod, especially with its passive, which gives the player an extra fish. However, when you reel in a higher value fish (like the Tartaruga), you’ll realize why the Free Spirit Rod is still better. |
| A | ![]() Challenger’s Rod | The passive gives you a +20% progress speed, and gives you really good status even with the nerf. The only problem is the lure speed. |
| B | ![]() Azure of Lagoon | Even though it has a really small control bar, this rod has the best Resilience plus the stab ability. Some players prefer this one over the Free Spirit Rod. |
Best Money Farming Rods in the Second Sea

Unlike XP Rods, Money Farming rods all need a different enchant and bait to make money farming as efficient as possible.
| Tier | Rod Name | Info | Best Enchant and Bait |
| S | ![]() Ethereal Prism Rod | Even with a status nerf, the Ethereal Prism Rod’s passive makes money-making easy. The passive gives you a 50% chance to catch Primsize fish, which are sold for 8x their value. | Blessed Song (or Steady) and Insect |
| A | ![]() Zeus Rod | This rod can spawn an Electric puddle. Almost all the fish caught in this puddle will have the Electric Shock mutation, which increases their sell value by x 3.5. The stats aren’t amazing but this passive is. | Blessed Song (or Steady) and Seaweed |
| B | ![]() Great Dreamer Rod | Good stats and can catch two fish at once. It’s not good on mutations, but it’s still decent. | Quantum and Insect |
| B | ![]() Rod Of The Forgotten Fang | The passive, which triggers after 3 perfect catches (not consecutive), is what makes this rod really good for money making. | Quantum and Seaweed |
That’s all there is to it. Again, as more updates keep rolling out, many of these will get replaced by actual Second Sea Rods. Until then, have fun catching fish and check out our Fisch codes for some cool freebies.
