Fisch Crowbar Rod – How to Get It, Full Stats, and Best Enchants

Fisch just dropped a fresh update, and the Crowbar Rod has quickly become one of the most talked-about additions. This limited-time Stage 10 fishing rod comes straight out of a quest tied to a shady NPC named Doug. It looks exactly like its name suggests: a long dark red metal shaft with a curved silver-gray claw on one end. We know players love a good grind, and this rod gives us exactly that kind of challenge with a solid reward at the end.

Unlike rods that you simply buy with in-game cash, the Crowbar Rod asks for real effort. You need to track down Doug, gather specific materials, and hand them over before he lets go of his prized crowbar. It sounds simple on paper, but the location alone trips up a lot of new players.

Where to Find Doug and Start the Quest

Doug hides out in the Laboratory area, which sits north of Roslit Bay and southeast of Sunstone Island. Getting there takes a bit of climbing, so come prepared. Once you reach the upper section of the Laboratory, head toward the right-hand side of the structure.

Doug does not stand out in the open. He stays tucked behind part of the building, so keep an eye out as you explore. Once you spot him, talk to him to trigger the quest and receive the full list of items he wants in return for the rod.

What Doug Wants From You

Doug plays the part of a broke scientist who gave up on a robbery because the payout was not worth it. He asks you to bring him a specific set of valuable items instead. Here is what the quest usually requires:

• One Glass Diamond
• One Opal
• Three Amethysts
• One Ruby
• Two Gravitas Scrap Metal

Most of these items come from fishing rather than mining, so you will spend a good chunk of time casting your line before the quest wraps up. The Gravitas Scrap Metal tends to take the longest since it needs a specific mutation, and that mutation does not show up on every catch. Patience matters more than skill here.

Once you hand over everything Doug asks for, he keeps his word and gives you the Crowbar Rod on the spot. We think this kind of collection quest adds a nice bit of variety compared to rods that just cost money.

Crowbar Rod Stats Explained

The Crowbar Rod earns its reputation through genuinely strong stats, not just its odd design. Here is a full breakdown of what you get:

• Lure Speed: 85 percent
• Luck: 245 percent
• Control: 0.15
• Resilience: 35 percent
• Max Weight: unlimited
• Disturbance: plus 3

That Luck stat stands out immediately. A rating of 245 percent puts this rod among the better options for hunting exotic and rare fish. Combine that with an unlimited weight cap, and you get a rod that never blocks you from reeling in something massive. The lack of a weight ceiling alone makes this rod worth the grind for players chasing bigger catches.

Control sits at a modest 0.15, which gives you a reeling bar around 45 percent width. It is not the tightest control on offer, but pairing the rod with the right enchant fixes that weakness fast.

The Crowbar’s Special Ability

Casting this rod triggers a fun little detail. It plays the well-known metal pipe sound effect the moment it hits the water, giving the whole experience a bit of personality.

Beyond the sound, the rod carries a genuine combat-style ability. It strikes the fish three separate times during the reeling sequence. The first two strikes each add 5 percent progress, while the third and final strike adds 15 percent progress, bringing the base total to 25 percent. Landing a perfect cast boosts each strike by an extra 5 percent, pushing total progress up to 40 percent. That difference adds up fast once you start chaining perfect casts together.

The rod also carries a rare passive tied to the Counterfeit mutation. Every third catch, it attempts to duplicate a fish from a nearby player who also lands a catch within a short range and time window. Only one fish can duplicate per attempt, so treat it as a nice bonus rather than something to rely on.

Best Enchants for the Crowbar Rod

Since Control is the weakest part of this rod, most players lean toward enchants that patch that gap. Hasty, Resilient, and Divine all pair well with the Crowbar, letting you tighten up your reeling bar while keeping the rod’s natural strengths intact.

Players chasing the exclusive Contraband mutation also gravitate toward this rod, since certain fish caught with it show a distinct appearance that regular rods rarely produce. That makes it a solid pick for collectors, not just grinders chasing raw stats.

Is the Crowbar Rod Worth Getting

Given how accessible the quest is compared to other Stage 10 rods, we would say yes. The materials take time to gather, but nothing about the process feels unfair or overly punishing. Between the strong Luck stat, unlimited weight cap, and the built-in strike ability, this rod holds its own against other options at a similar stage.

Since Fisch has confirmed the rod stays tied to future content and story progression, grabbing it now saves you from scrambling later. If you enjoy quest-based rewards over straightforward purchases, the Crowbar Rod delivers a satisfying mix of both grind and payoff.
