Fishing Sail Dark Surge Fishing Rod Combination Guide How to Match Fishing Rods in Fishing Sail Dark Surge

In this episode, we bring you a guide on how to pair fishing rods in Dredge, a game primarily focused on fishing. Here, players will have their own small boat to sail out to sea, where they can catch various types of fish and sell them to accumulate their initial capital. This helps in upgrading their fishing boats and exploring new areas, creating the financial and tool conditions needed. Given that there are many types of fishing rods provided, and each type of fish may be suited for different rods, players might want a simple understanding of how to pair them.

If you're heading to coastal and shallow waters, a reinforced spool rod is usually sufficient. This fishing rod is very powerful, with fast fishing speed, helping you quickly accumulate numbers.

If you venture into the deep sea area, it's recommended to first obtain and then upgrade to a deep-sea spool. The fish caught here generally fetch higher prices, so after unlocking the deep-sea area, most players tend to focus on this region.

Once you've unlocked the mangrove and some shallow water areas, you can use the steel tendon rod, which has a 28% improved effect over regular fishing rods. Therefore, if you get this rod later, you can replace the earlier near-coastal and shallow water rods.

For deep-sea areas, a deep-sea rod is required as other rods won't work. So, if you unlock the deep-sea area, make sure to get this rod before going deep-sea fishing.

Besides these rods, there are also some special ones like the mangrove rod and the volcano rod, which typically require main quest upgrades and are used in mid to late game. The multi-purpose rod is quite handy, but although convenient, it takes up a lot of backpack space. It's generally advised to carry this rod only when your backpack has been upgraded to a sufficiently large size, avoiding an impractical pursuit of its functionality.

The sharing of the Dredge fishing rod pairing strategy ends here. As long as you understand the suitable usage areas for each rod, you'll know which rods to use in both currently unlocked and future areas. Generally speaking, the more advanced the rod, the more scenarios it applies to, so it's still advisable to try and acquire them.
