Fish It Guide (January 2026)

Fish It hit #1 on Roblox with 900K+ concurrent players. I’ve been grinding this game for about 100 hours now and honestly? I get the hype. The fishing loop is addicting. Cast, catch, upgrade, repeat. My best catch so far is a Robot Kraken worth 15 million coins. Took me 3 hours of camping Lost Isle with Luck Potions active.

This Fish It guide covers everything I wish someone told me when I started. Rods, islands, fish locations, mutations, enchants. The game has layers that aren’t obvious at first.

Grab the free Luck Potions from codes before you start. They’ll save you hours of grinding.

What is Fish It

You fish. That’s it. But the execution is surprisingly deep.

Cast your rod, wait for a bite, reel it in. Simple. But then you discover different islands have different fish. Rods have luck stats that affect rare spawns. Mutations can multiply fish value by 10x. Enchants stack bonuses. Boats unlock new areas.

Suddenly you’re optimizing routes, timing potion windows, and camping specific spots for Secret fish worth millions.

Your First Hour

When you spawn on Fisherman Island, here’s what to do:

Redeem all codes first. You get 15+ Luck Potions, Mutation Potions, and exclusive baits. Don’t waste these on your starter rod though.

Fish at the dock. Catch common fish. Sell everything. You need coins for your first rod upgrade.

Buy the Luck Rod (350 coins). Your first real upgrade. 30% luck boost makes a noticeable difference.

Talk to NPCs. The Lava Fisherman on Kohana Island gives you a free Lava Rod. Free is free.

Don’t use potions yet. Save them for when you have a decent rod. Wasting Luck Potions with starter gear is pain.

Rod Progression

Rods are everything in Fish It. Better rods = better luck = rarer fish = more money.

Don’t skip straight to expensive rods. The mid-tier grind teaches you the game mechanics.

Mutations Explained

Mutations are random variants of fish that sell for 5-10x normal price. A mutated Legendary can be worth millions.

How to increase mutation chance:

  • Use Mutation Potions (from codes or shop)
  • Equip Aether Bait (+20% mutation chance)
  • Use the Cursed enchant (-75% luck, +75% mutation)
  • Fish during server events

I’ve caught 47 mutated fish total. 38 of them were during Mutation Potion windows. The potions work.

Best mutation farming spots:

  1. Coral Reefs (high fish density)
  2. Lost Isle (valuable base fish)
  3. Ancient Jungle (newest fish = less competition)

Enchants Guide

Enchants boost your rod stats. You get Enchant Stones from fishing at Esoteric Depths (1 in 1,000 chance) or buying from other players.

EnchantEffect
Leprechaun I+30% Luck
Leprechaun II+50% Luck
Empowered I+20% Luck, +10% Speed
Big Hunter I+10% Fish Size
Reeler I+7% Reel Speed
Cursed I-75% Luck, +75% Mutation
XPerienced I+50% XP

Best enchant combos:

  • For rare fish: Leprechaun II + Empowered I
  • For mutations: Cursed I + Aether Bait
  • For leveling: XPerienced I + any luck enchant

You can enchant rods at the Enchant Altar on Esoteric Depths island.

Best Baits

Bait matters more than most players realize.

BaitEffectCost
Dark Matter+160% Luck, +5% XP, +10% Shiny630K
Aether+240% Luck, +20% Mutation, +20% Shiny3.7M
Corrupt+180% Luck, +15% Mutation1.2M

Use Dark Matter for: General farming, XP grinding

Use Aether for: Rare fish hunting, mutation farming

Use code baits for: Early game (they’re free and decent)

Money Making Guide

Here’s how to actually make coins efficiently:

Early game (0-500K):

  • Fish at Kohana Volcano
  • Sell everything
  • Don’t buy expensive rods yet

Mid game (500K-5M):

  • Get Chrome or Astral Rod
  • Farm Coral Reefs
  • Pop Luck Potions for Legendary fish
  • Sell mutated fish for premium

Late game (5M+):

  • Get Angler or Ghostfinn Rod
  • Camp Lost Isle for Secret fish
  • Stack Luck Potions + Aether Bait
  • One Robot Kraken = 15M+ coins

Pro tip: Join servers during events. Event fish often sell for bonus coins.

Common Mistakes

Using potions too early. Your starter rod has 0% luck. Luck Potions multiply your base luck. 0 x 1.5 = still 0. Wait until you have at least the Steampunk Rod.

Ignoring enchants. A Chrome Rod with Leprechaun II beats an unenchanted Astral Rod. Enchants are multiplicative.

Skipping islands. Each island has unique fish for your Index. Completionists need to visit everywhere.

Not using boats. Boats let you access Ocean regions safely. The basic boat is cheap. Buy it.

Selling Enchant Stones. Keep them. You’ll need them later. The market price fluctuates but your rod needs them forever.

Ghostfinn Rod Quest

The Ghostfinn Rod is free but requires completing the Deep Sea Quest. Here’s what you need:

  1. Catch specific fish from Lost Isle
  2. Collect quest items from various islands
  3. Complete NPC dialogue chains
  4. Return to the quest giver

The quest takes 10-20 hours depending on RNG. Worth it though. Ghostfinn is one of the best rods in the game.

Element Rod Quest

The Element Rod has 1111% luck. Best rod in the game. The quest starts at the Underground Cellar on Ancient Jungle island.

Requirements:

  • Catch elemental fish from each island
  • Collect Element Stones (rare drops)
  • Complete the Element Trial

This is endgame content. Don’t attempt until you have Angler or Ghostfinn Rod.
