In Fisch, not every rod can be equipped straight away. Many high-tier and special rods are locked behind level requirements tied to the Wishing system. If you are planning your long-term progression, knowing exactly which rods unlock at each level saves you from wasting wishes and helps you prepare your build properly.
Below is the complete, clean breakdown of all rods that require specific levels to use.

The Wishing system does not bypass level restrictions. Even if you obtain a rod early, you cannot equip it until your level meets its requirement. This makes level planning extremely important, especially if you are targeting endgame rods like Fabulous Rod, Polaris Serenade, Astralhook Rod, or Chrysalis.
Reaching Level 1000 effectively unlocks the true endgame of Fisch, where the strongest rods, rarest cosmetics, and prestige content finally become accessible.
If you want, I can also give you a fastest leveling route to hit 500, 750, and 1000 efficiently.
