How to Get a Fishing Rod in Storage Hunters Roblox
Updated 2026-09-09 · Last verified 2026-09-09 · Roblox Storage Hunters: Open World
You get a fishing rod in Storage Hunters: Open World by winning a Farmyard auction that contains one. That is the only documented source: all three rods are Farmyard items, the Farmyard needs $10,000 net worth to enter, and no shop, code, NPC or quest hands one out.
So the answer to "where" is a container, not a map location. Reach $10,000 net worth, pay the $15 Stable Garage entry fee, bid on units, and keep the rod when it drops instead of selling it. Then take it to the Lake, which is the only documented place to use it.
Where the fishing rod comes from
| Rod | Value | Rarity | Source | Net worth needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scrap Fishing Rod | $200 | Rare | Farmyard auctions | $10,000 |
| Fishing Rod | $400 | Epic | Farmyard auctions | $10,000 |
| Carbon Fishing Rod | $600 | Legendary | Farmyard auctions | $10,000 |
Rarity decides how often a rod turns up in a unit; the value is the sell price the game lists for the item. The Farmyard item pool holds 120 items in total, so a rod is one result among many and you may open several units before one appears. Nothing about that is a bug or a missed unlock. Which one fishes best is not documented; see below for the bonus stats a rod can roll.
Getting to $10,000 net worth
The whole cost of a rod is the climb to the Farmyard. Nothing else stands between you and one.
| Step | Requirement | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Junk Yard, Scrap Garage | $0 net worth | $0 entry |
| Back Alley, Shop Front | $750 net worth | $5 entry |
| Power Plant, Tier 1 Garage | $7,500 net worth | $10 entry |
| Farmyard, Stable Garage | $10,000 net worth | $15 entry |
| Farmyard, Barn Garage | $50,000 net worth | $25 entry |
Net worth is your total value, not cash in hand, so unsold loot on your plot counts toward it. Run the normal loop on the auctions page (bid, haul, sell, repeat) until the Stable Garage opens. The beginner's guide has the full progression order, and every garage gate is listed on the areas page.
The Fandom item data does not split the Farmyard pool by garage, so nothing suggests the $25 Barn Garage is a better rod source than the $15 Stable Garage — it just unlocks later, at $50,000 net worth. The Stable Garage at $10,000 is enough.
What the $10,000 milestone unlocks
Hitting the Farmyard threshold opens several things at once, which is why fishing feels like it arrives as a package:
| Unlock at $10,000 | What it is |
|---|---|
| Stable Garage | The Farmyard's first auction container, and the rod source |
| Ted (NPC) | Farmyard quest line, starting with Farmhand: win 10 Stable Garage auctions for $1,000 and 10 Diamonds |
| Fisherman (NPC) | Lake caretaker, listed requirement "$10,000 for a Fishing Rod" |
| Grading / Cleaning / Locksmith 2nd Slot | Second processing slot in each service |
| +5% Luck | Permanent net worth milestone bonus |
Note the ordering on the Fisherman: his quests need the rod, the rod does not need his quests. There is no unlock step, no crafting recipe and no purchase. See quests for his five fishing objectives and every other NPC's requirements.
Step by step
- Build net worth to $10,000 using any area you already have open.
- Travel to the Farmyard and pay the $15 Stable Garage fee.
- Bid on units. An X-Ray Vision perk reveals the contents before you commit, which is the only documented way to see a rod in advance.
- Win the unit and haul the loot back.
- Do not sell the rod. A rod is worth $200 to $600 as a sale, which is small against what it opens.
- Take it to the Lake and wait for a Fishing Event.
What the rod does once you have it
Rods are tools, not display pieces. Newly found rods roll up to 3 bonus attributes, Fish Speed, Bar Width and Luck, each at a random percentage, and not every roll includes all three. One documented roll on a Scrap Fishing Rod was +29% Bar Width and +25% Luck. What Fish Speed and Bar Width change in the catch minigame is not documented yet.
With a rod in hand, three things open up:
- Lake fishing. Fish only bite during the Lake's Fishing Event, which lasts 12 minutes. Cast outside it and the rod usually reels in a normal auction item instead of a fish. There are 24 fish in the Lake index, worth $5 to $500.
- Fisherman quests. Five "fish up" objectives, from Worth the Wait ($4,000 fished) to Fortune Fisher ($50,000 fished, 1 Luck Drink 2 and 50 Diamonds).
- Club daily quests. The "Fish up a set number of Fish" objective only progresses during an active Fishing Event.
Full fish values, the event timing and the Fisherman's reward table are on the fishing guide.
One name mix-up worth heading off: the Fishing Net and Fishing Boat both drop at Lucky Beach, not the Farmyard, and are ordinary sell items — neither can be used to fish.
Quick answers
- Where to get one: Farmyard auctions, the only documented source.
- Cost: $10,000 net worth plus the $15 Stable Garage entry fee.
- Quest or unlock needed: none. The net worth gate is the only requirement.
- How many rods: three, at $200 (Rare), $400 (Epic) and $600 (Legendary).
- Best rod: the Carbon Fishing Rod is the rarest; whether it fishes better is not documented.
- Repairing a rod: not documented, and no source confirms that rods break.
Frequently asked questions
How do you get a fishing rod in Storage Hunters Roblox?
Win it out of a Farmyard auction. All three rods (Scrap Fishing Rod, Fishing Rod, Carbon Fishing Rod) are Farmyard items, and the Farmyard opens at $10,000 net worth. Pay the $15 Stable Garage entry fee, win the unit, then keep the rod instead of selling it. No shop, code or quest hands one out.
Where is the fishing rod in Storage Hunters?
It is not a fixed pickup anywhere on the map, so there is no spot to walk to. Rods only appear as loot inside Farmyard auction units, which means the Farmyard is the only place to look. The Lake is where you use the rod, not where you find it.
What net worth do you need for a fishing rod?
$10,000. That is the Farmyard's access requirement and the Stable Garage's net worth gate, and rods drop nowhere else. The same $10,000 milestone also unlocks the Fisherman NPC at the Lake, so the rod and the fishing content open at the same point.
Are there different fishing rods in Storage Hunters?
Three: the Scrap Fishing Rod ($200, Rare), the Fishing Rod ($400, Epic) and the Carbon Fishing Rod ($600, Legendary). All three come from the Farmyard. Whether the Carbon rod fishes better than the Scrap rod is not documented yet; the only confirmed differences are value and rarity.
Do you need a quest to unlock the fishing rod?
No. No quest gives a rod and no quest is required before one can drop. The only gate is the $10,000 net worth needed to enter the Farmyard. The Fisherman's quest line works the other way round: his listed requirement is "$10,000 for a Fishing Rod", so you need the rod before his quests are available.
Can you buy a fishing rod in Storage Hunters?
No. None of the six Shopping Mall stores sells a rod, and no documented code or Robux purchase grants one. Auction loot from the Farmyard is the only documented source.
