In this guide, we prepared several different tier lists, each ranking the best Rods, Skills, and Traits in Heavyweight Fishing. In general, more expensive and rarer items are usually the best, but that isn’t always the case, and the right choice largely depends on the fish you are trying to catch. Follow our Heavyweight Fishing tier lists below for a complete ranking of all Rods, Skills, and Traits.

Heavyweight Fishing Rod Tier List

In the tier list above, we ranked all Rods in Heavyweight Fishing based on their Luck, Power, and unique passive skills. With that in mind, the Heavenpiercer Rod and Pure Diamond Rod are currently the best Rods in the game. An amazing mid-game choice is the Cryo Gravity Rod, which is great for farming Cash.
Heavyweight Fishing Skill Tier List

Skills in Heavyweight Fishing are essential for catching bigger fish and bosses. At the moment, Vajra Godcast, Heaven’s Burden, and Ruinous Sacrifice are the best Skills you can roll for on the Taiji and Egoless banners. Keep in mind that both banners have a Pity system that guarantees you get a rare Skill every 30, 120, and 1,000 Summons.
