Fish It! Roblox: All Secret Fishing Locations & Rod Tier List (January 2026)

Are you tired of catching common Bass and Bluegills? In the world of Fish It! (Roblox), the difference between a beginner and a pro fisherman comes down to two things: where you cast your line and what rod you’re holding.

With the recent January 2026 Pirate Cove Update, the meta has completely shifted. From “Divine Secret” rarities to the new Leviathan events, we’ve updated our definitive guide to help you dominate the leaderboard.

🎣 Fish It! Rod Tier List (January 2026 Meta)

Not all rods are created equal. In 2026, the focus has shifted toward NPU (Natural Power Up) stats and Luck Stacking.

S-Tier: The God Tier

These rods are mandatory if you want to catch “Divine” or “Secret” rarity fish.

• Angler Rod: The most balanced rod in the game. High speed, high luck.
• Ghostfinn Rod: The king of Luck. It has a high skill ceiling but the best yields for Mythics.
• Element Rod: Exceptional for catching biome-specific secrets like the Cataclysm Carp.

A-Tier: The Professional Choice

• Ares Rod: Powerful, but the high price tag makes it slightly less efficient than the Angler.
• Astral Rod: Best value-to-performance ratio for Legendary hunters.
• Chrome Rod: Best for speed-grinding money.

B-Tier: Mid-Game Must-Haves

• Steampunk Rod: Great weight limit for catching heavy species.
• Midnight Rod: Perfect for night-time fishing grinds.

Pro Tip: Avoid the Starter Rod and Carbon Rod as soon as you hit Level 5. They have 0% luck modifiers and will slow down your progression.

🗺️ All Secret Fishing Locations (2026 Update)

Finding the right spot is 50% of the battle. Here are the hidden zones where the rarest species spawn:

1. The Pirate Cove Cave (New!)

Located behind the rubble near the docks. You must help the Carpenter NPC collect 4 TNT sticks to blast this open.

• Primary Catch: Black Pearl Fish and Leviathan’s Rage mutations.

2. Mystic Lake

A serene, high-level zone that is notoriously difficult but rewarding.

• Primary Catch: Rainbow Trout and the Golden Carp.

3. The Frozen Caverns

Requires a high-durability rod because the fish here are aggressive.

• Primary Catch: Glacier Salmon and Frostfin Trout.

4. Sunstone Island (Divine Spot)

This is where the Crustal Colossus (1/15,000 drop rate) is found. Use a Luck Totem here for the best results.

💎 How to Catch Divine Secret Fish

As of January 2026, Divine Secrets are the ultimate trophies. Unlike regular fish, they don’t care about bait or weather; they only care about Location and Pure Luck.

1. Stack Luck Potions: Use the LUCKYTOTEM or HAPPY2026 codes to get free luck boosts.
2. Wait for the Leviathan: When the server-wide Leviathan event triggers, your luck jumps by 200k. This is your window to catch the Tuskmaw or Lumilotl.
3. Enchant Your Rod: Use Enchant Stones to get the “Leprechaun” trait, which adds another 50% luck.

🔑 Active Fish It! Codes (January 2026)

• GO2026 – Free Rod Skin
• HAPPY2026 – 1x Luck Totem
• 3BILLION – 2x Luck II Potions
• GIFTGIVING – Epic Present

(Note: You must be at least Level 11 to redeem most codes.)

Final Verdict: What should you buy first?

If you are a beginner, save every coin for the Lucky Rod. It’s cheap but allows you to farm the Enchant Stones needed to eventually upgrade to the Angler Rod.
