Looking to catch and cook some fish? Make sure you know how to unlock and craft all the Fishing Rods in LEGO Fortnite.
There are a lot more things to do now that the latest Gone Fishin’ update has dropped in LEGO Fortnite. Finally, players can make use of bodies of water in the game, as Epic has added a bunch of fish players can catch and cook.
However, if you plan to make some tasty filet for yourself, you’ll need a Fishing Rod to fish. There are various Fishing Rods of different rarities, but unlocking them requires you to follow specific requirements.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to unlock and craft all the Fishing Rods in LEGO Fortnite.

The latest update has added four types of Fishing Rods: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic. Of course, the higher the rarity, the easier it is to get your hands on rarer types of fish.
Depending on the Fishing Rod’s rarity, you’re required to have one certain item in your inventory to access its recipe. Below is a list of them.

After unlocking the Fishing Rod recipe, the next step is gathering all the materials needed to craft it. This differs for each Fishing Rod, with higher rarity ones requiring more advanced materials. These are the materials you need:
| Fishing Rod | Materials |
|---|---|
| Common Fishing Rod | 1 Wooden Rod + 2 Cord + 1 Wolf Claw |
| Uncommon Fishing Rod | 2 Knotroot Rod + 3 Cord + 1 Silk Thread + 3 Wolf Claw |
| Rare Fishing Rod | 3 Flexwood Rod +1 Drawstring + 2 Wool Thread + 3 Sand Claw |
| Legendary Fishing Rod | 4 Frostpine Rod + 2 Drawstring + 3 Heavy Wool Thread + 3 Arctic Claw |
Once you’ve gathered all the materials, you’ll be able to craft the Fishing Rod using your Crafting Bench. And just like that, it’s ready to use as soon as you obtain it.
How to use a Fishing Rod in LEGO Fortnite
To use the Fishing Rod, equip it and then press left-click to toss it in the water. As soon as you spot movement in the water, pull it back by hitting the same button.
You’re not always guaranteed to successfully catch a fish with the lower tier Fishing Rods, though, but the extra random resources may likely come in handy later.
