The Bamboo Rod is one of the most talked-about mythic rods in Fish It, mostly because of the price.
At 12 million coins, it’s a purchase you don’t just casually make — you either worked hard for those coins, or you saved for days wondering if this rod is actually worth it.
I’ve bought it, tested it, compared it to Gospin, enchanted it, and fished with it across several high-yield spots. So this guide is simply what I wish I knew before spending 12 million coins in this Roblox game.
This will help you decide whether to buy it now, later, or not at all.
How to Unlock the Bamboo Rod
You won’t find the Bamboo Rod in a regular shop. It’s sold inside the Secret Temple located in Ancient Jungle.
But the temple only opens after you activate four artifacts.
Artifact Locations
You must fish at four specific radar marks — each tied to a color.
| Color | Location Type | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Red Artifact | Upper reef hotspot | Fish there until the artifact drops |
| Yellow Artifact | Shallow island inlet | Same process — requires some patience |
| Purple Artifact | Deep-water corner of the jungle map | Usually takes several catches |
| Green Artifact | Near the center area close to the temple | Often the easiest one to get |
After collecting all four, insert them into the pillar stone slots, pull the lever, and the Secret Temple opens.
Inside, head to the right room — that’s where the Bamboo Rod is sold.
Bamboo Rod Cost & Rarity
| Rod | Rarity Tier | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bamboo Rod | Mythic | 12,000,000 coins |
This puts it in the same tier as:
- Gospin
- Angler
- Ares
But below Secret-tier rods like the Element Rod.
Bamboo Rod Stats
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Luck | 760% |
| Reel Speed | 98% |
| Weight Handle | 500,000 KG |
High Luck is the standout here — it directly improves the chance of pulling rare, legendary, and mythic fish.
Bamboo Rod vs Gospin
If you already own Gospin, this is the comparison you’re really here for:
| Attribute | Bamboo Rod | Gospin Rod |
|---|---|---|
| Luck | 760% (higher) | ~610% |
| Reel Speed | 98% | 118% (faster) |
| Weight Handling | 500K | Higher |
What that means in real gameplay:
- Bamboo Rod catches rare fish more often
- Gospin reels smoother and faster
When I tested the Bamboo Rod right after buying it, I noticed that the reel bar had a slight “slow push” feel. Not broken — just not as quick and smooth as Gospin.
But this changes once you enchant it.
The Enchant That Fixes the Bamboo Rod
Best Starter Enchant
| Enchant | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| M-Power I | Increases reel speed & luck. Removes the sluggish pull feel. |
After applying M-Power I:
- Reel movement became smooth
- The rod stopped feeling like it “paused” while pulling
- It started performing closer to Gospin in comfort, while keeping its higher rare-catch chance
Don’t use enchants that reduce:
- Luck
- Control stability
Those defeat what makes the Bamboo Rod valuable.
Is the Bamboo Rod Worth Buying?
Buy It If:
- You don’t have Gospin yet
- You have plenty of coins saved
- You want better odds for Mythic & Secret fish
Don’t Buy It If:
- You already have Gospin with a good enchant
- Your coins are still limited
- You are aiming for fast reel speed over catch rarity
Simple Summary
If you already own Gospin, you don’t need the Bamboo Rod.
If you don’t have Gospin and you’re stuck trying to get it — Bamboo Rod can help you get Gospin faster, because of the 760% luck.
This is why players say the Bamboo Rod is a progression rod, not a final rod.
Final Verdict
| Category | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Value for Money | ⭐⭐⭐☆ | Worth it only if you can afford it comfortably |
| For Beginners | ❌ No | Too expensive early on |
| For Mid-Game Players | ✅ Yes | Helps secure Gospin faster |
| For Late-Game / Already Have Gospin | ⚖️ Optional | Purely for collection or aesthetics |
If you’re sitting on millions and just haven’t gotten lucky with Gospin yet, this rod can bridge that gap.
If you’re low on coins? Save your money and keep grinding.
