Overview
The Maelstrom Rod is a special fishing tool that was available during the Fischmas 2025 event. It features a unique design that resembles a bow with a star at the tip, making it stand out from traditional rods. Though its stats might not impress at first glance, the rod's exceptional passives make it a valuable addition to your collection.
Sporting a striking appearance with grey-blue and periwinkle hues, the Maelstrom Rod offers a balanced set of abilities. Its infinite max weight handling is a key highlight, allowing you to reel in the heaviest of catches without worry. However, the rod's overall stats are below average for the effort required to obtain it.
This rod is perfect for players looking to diversify their fishing arsenal with unique capabilities and aesthetics, especially if you participated in the festive 2025 event.
The Maelstrom Rod was the first in the game to introduce a custom walking animation.
