Quick answer: The strongest fishing rod in Star Fishing is the Crimson Rod, which provides +1250 Luck and 8x Reel Speed. You can obtain it by traveling to the Shadow Crypts and completing the Ancient Keys Quest.
Progression in Star Fishing relies heavily on upgrading your gear to access advanced galaxies and catch rarer stars. Higher-tier rods increase strength, luck, and reel speed, while better bobbers expand your carrying capacity. Once you have acquired the best standard equipment, you can further improve your stats through the game's enchantment system using crafted relics.
Below are the complete stats, costs, and unlock requirements for every rod and bobber currently available, followed by the crafting recipes for enchantments.

How to craft Enchanted Relics
To apply enchantments to your rod, you must first craft Enchanted Relics. The crafting station is located across the bridge near the cauldrons; you must fix the bridge to access this area. Items placed in the cauldrons during crafting are consumed permanently.
Crafting higher-tier relics requires the previous tier as an ingredient. Once you have a relic, use the Enchanted Book to apply an enchantment. Applying a new enchantment overwrites the existing one.
| Tier | Cost | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Enchanted Relic I | $50,000 | None |
| Enchanted Relic II | $1,000 | 1x Enchant Relic I |
| Enchanted Relic III | $1,000 | 5x 1i Oumuamua 3x 2i Borisov 3x 3i ATLAS 1x Enchant Relic II |
| Enchanted Relic IV | $1,000 | 5x Nava Persei 1901 5x Millisecond Pulsar 5x Enchant Relic III |
| Enchanted Relic V | $1,000 | 3x Supernova 1x Prismatic Star 5x Enchant Relic IV |
Enchantment effects
When you apply an enchantment, the result is randomized for Relics I through IV. If you use an Enchanted Relic V, you can select the specific Level V enchantment you want.
