| Weight | 1 kg |
The Barbarian rod is a heavier version of the fishing rod used during the Fishing portion of Barbarian Training. When you start that portion of the training Otto Godblessed will let you take this fishing rod from underneath the bed in his cabin; if you lose or drop it, get another from the bed. It uses fishing bait, feathers, fish offcuts, roe, or caviar as bait. It is the only fishing rod capable of catching Leaping trout, Leaping salmon, and Leaping sturgeon. It can only be used in the fishing spots at Baxtorian Falls. You also gain marginal Strength and Agility experience when you fish with this rod. Heavy-rod fishing is notable for being the fastest Fishing experience in the game. With use of the recyclable bait, players never need to bank.
| Fish | Fishing Level Required | Strength/Agility Level Required | Fishing experience gained | Strength/Agility experience gained | Cooking Experience from successful cutting/gutting |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leaping trout | 48 | 15 | 50 | 5 | 10 |
| Leaping salmon | 58 | 30 | 70 | 6 | 10 |
| Leaping sturgeon | 70 | 45 | 80 | 7 | 15 |
[edit] Trivia
On 6 January 2009, Barbarian fishing has become much slower than before. The "cut-all" option that Jagex introduced made cutting the fish take longer. However, using feathers or bait to catch the fish will still bring the experience per hour before.
