The Fishing rod is an item used to catch fish through the Fishing skill. It can be bought from the fishing store in Port Sarim or in Catherby for 5 coins. In order to fish with it,players must have fishing bait in their inventory as well as room to hold a fish. It was once possible to lose your rod from random events,but after the 25 February 2009 updates, it is now impossible for this to happen. Non-members can use the rod to catch Sardine, Herring, and Pike. Members can use Blamish snail slime on it to turn it into an Oily fishing rod.The Oily fishing rod can catch eels and eels only taking bait.
