Deep Fishing has 22 rods: a free Wooden starter plus 21 upgrades running from the Iron Rod to the $15 billion Galaxy Rod. Across the ladder, Luck climbs from 10% to 1,050% and Strength from 10% to 840%. I compared four guides and the developer’s Roblox store listing to put coin prices, Luck, Strength and Robux unlock prices in one table, updated for October 2026. Coin prices and stats are third-party figures, so confirm them in the Rod Shop before you spend.
| Rod | Coin Price | Luck | Strength | Robux Unlock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wooden | Starter | 0% | 0% | — |
| Iron | Unconfirmed | 10% | 10% | 39 |
| Iron Rope | $2,500 | 25% | 25% | 79 |
| Bronze | $12,000 | 40% | 40% | 129 |
| Full Bronze | $50,000 | 60% | 55% | 199 |
| Steel | $150,000 | 80% | 70% | 299 |
| Steel Rope | $350,000 | 100% | 90% | 399 |

| Gold | $2M | 180% | 160% | 879 |
| Gold Diamond | $3.5M | 215% | 190% | 1,049 |
| Crystal | $6M | 250% | 220% | 1,349 |
| Ruby | $12M | 290% | 255% | 1,649 |
| Emerald | $25M | 400% | 340% | 1,999 |
| Frozen | $50M | 460% | 390% | 2,249 |
| Toxic | $100M | 460% | 390% | 2,649 |
| Knight | $200M | 530% | 440% | 2,999 |

What Luck and Strength Do?
Luck raises your odds of rarer fish, mutations and better loot. Strength powers your cast and reel, and the developer ties it to how far you throw. Luck can’t fix a short cast, because rarity depends on how far out you reach. A new rod usually matters more than a stat top-up.
Which Deep Fishing Rod Is Best?
By the listed numbers, the Galaxy Rod wins. Whether it’s worth the price is another question. One late-game run measured casts of about 9,400 m with it, up from roughly 2,800 m on the Crystal Rod, but judged it only slightly better than the previous rod for the cost.
The jumps below show where your coins go furthest:
| Upgrade Step | Extra Cost | Luck Gain | Strength Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold → Gold Diamond | $1.5M | +35 | +30 |
| Ruby → Emerald | $13M | +110 | +85 |
| Obsidian → Disco | $400M | +100 | +70 |
| Angel → UFO | $3.5B | +125 | +90 |
| UFO → Galaxy | $10B | +125 | +100 |
My pick is Emerald. It’s the biggest single leap in the lineup for roughly twice Ruby’s price. Galaxy triples UFO’s price for about 13% more Luck.
Frozen vs Toxic: Check Before You Buy
Both rods show 460% Luck and 390% Strength, yet Toxic costs $100M against Frozen’s $50M. That may be a reporting error or a missing effect. Read the Toxic shop card first, and unless it lists an extra effect, go Frozen → Knight.
Best Rod Buy Order for Beginners
- Claim the pier’s Free Reward. It reportedly pays about $13,614, enough for the Bronze Rod ($12,000).
- Save for Full Bronze ($50,000). Push your bank past roughly $61K and buy it in one visit instead of drip-feeding stats.
- After every big sale, buy the next rod first. Put leftovers into Strength, Weight, Bounce and Capacity.
- Treat The Pond ($25,000, Level 5) as optional. Judge its catches yourself.
Use these cast distances to check your setup:
| Setup | Expected Distance |
|---|---|
| Bronze Rod + bait | 500+ m |
| Full Bronze + stat upgrades | ~695 m |
| Tuned Full Bronze | ~750 m |
| Tide Bait (deep ocean water) | 1,014+ m |
| Crystal Rod | 2,700–2,800 m |
If your throw falls well short, fix your hold-and-release timing before buying anything.
Exclusive Rods and Skins
Four extra items sit outside the main ladder. The Astral Tide Rod (599 Robux) and VoidReaper Rod (799 Robux) were added September 26, 2026. The Divine King (399 Robux) and Divine Queen (639 Robux) are labeled skins, so they change looks rather than rod tier. No stats are published for any of them, so I wouldn’t assume they beat a coin rod.
Common Rod Mistakes
- Buying stats before a rod. A weak rod only gets slightly less weak.
- Treating Luck as a guarantee. Judge a rod over several sessions, not one catch.
- Assuming pricier means better. Toxic costs double and shows identical stats.
FAQs
How many rods are in Deep Fishing?
There are 22: the free Wooden starter plus 21 upgrades from Iron to Galaxy. Two Exclusive rods and two skins are sold separately.
What is the best rod in Deep Fishing?
The Galaxy Rod has the highest listed stats at 1,050% Luck and 840% Strength. It costs $15B in coins or 6,499 Robux, and older reports quoted 5,000 Robux, so check the in-game price.
How much does the Iron Rod cost?
No reliable coin price is published. Its Robux unlock is 39. Check the Rod Shop card, because the blank listing doesn’t mean it’s free.
Is the Toxic Rod better than the Frozen Rod?
The published stats are identical, so there’s no confirmed upgrade. Verify the shop card for an extra effect before paying double.
Which rod should I buy first?
Buy the Bronze Rod ($12,000) with the pier’s Free Reward. Then save for Full Bronze ($50,000) once your bank passes roughly $61K.
