Fischfest is the summer event in Fisch on Roblox, and it brings a dedicated beach plaza with its own currency, limited fish, and event-only rods. The rods sit behind three different paths, with prices split across coins, shells, and quest completion. To collect them you first need to reach the plaza and then visit the right merchant or finish the right objective before the event closes on September 5, 2026.
Quick answer: Use the Magic Conch in your inventory to teleport to the Fischfest plaza, then buy the Paper Fan Rod for 70,000 C$, the Popsicle Rod for 3,000 shells, and unlock the Tidal Wave Rod by completing the Fischfest quest.
Reach the Fischfest plaza first
Every Fischfest rod lives inside the summer plaza, so the merchants and quest givers are unreachable until you travel there. The event has no level requirement to enter, and the Magic Conch is handed to you automatically when you join a server running the live event build.
Fischfest rod costs and stats
Three rods are tied to the summer plaza, and each one is acquired a different way. Coins (C$) buy the cheapest option, shells handle the rare-catch rod, and the highest weight-ceiling rod comes from finishing the Fischfest questline.
| Rod | How to get it | Lure / Luck | Control / Resilience / Max Kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper Fan Rod | 70,000 C$ | 70% / 75% | -0.05 / 10% / 1,500 kg |
| Popsicle Rod | 3,000 shells | 100% / 150% | 0 / 0% / 100 kg |
| Tidal Wave Rod | Complete the Fischfest quest | 50% / 65% | 0.1 / 20% / 30,000 kg |
The Popsicle Rod is the pick for rare catches because its 150% Luck raises your odds of hooking higher-rarity fish, though its 100 kg ceiling keeps it limited to lighter catches. The Tidal Wave Rod swaps that luck for a 30,000 kg ceiling and better control, making it the steady choice for heavy fish. The Paper Fan Rod is the lowest-effort entry, bought outright with coins.
How to buy each rod
Paper Fan Rod (coins)
The Paper Fan Rod is paid for with regular coins, so you do not need to bank any event currency for it. Visit the plaza Merchant who stocks summer crates, baits, and rods, and purchase it for 70,000 C$. Because it uses standard currency, this is the rod you can grab the moment you arrive.
Popsicle Rod (shells)
Shells are the event-only currency, gathered by collecting them off the shoreline as waves wash them up or by selling Fischfest fish. Save 3,000 shells, then buy the Popsicle Rod from the Shell Merchant. Banking shells steadily across the run is faster than grinding them all at the end, since the shoreline only drips them out over time.
Tidal Wave Rod (quest)
The Tidal Wave Rod is not for sale. You unlock it by completing the Fischfest quest, which runs as a multi-stage event questline. Work through the objectives the event hands you, and the rod is awarded on completion rather than at a shop counter.
Beach Ball bait and what it catches
The Beach Ball is a Fischfest bait, not a rod, and it is what unlocks several of the limited summer catches. Equip it on any of the plaza rods to target the fish below. The plaza season is locked to summer, so the listed weather conditions stay consistent the whole event.
| Fish | Bait | Weather |
|---|---|---|
| Coconut | Beach Ball | Foggy or Clear |
| Sea Sponge | Beach Ball | Clear, None, Foggy |
| Tiki Mask | Beach Ball | Any |
Confirm the rod is yours
A rod is secured once it appears in your inventory and can be equipped. For the Paper Fan and Popsicle rods, the purchase deducts your coins or shells on the spot, and the rod drops straight into your bag. For the Tidal Wave Rod, the reward lands when the Fischfest quest shows as completed.
The shell-priced and quest-based rewards leave the moment Fischfest closes on September 5, 2026, and the limited fish disappear with them. Logging in early and banking shells across the run is the safest way to clear the quests and stock up before the plaza shuts down.
