Is it worth the effort?

Despite being free, the Shamrock Rod can be quite difficult to catch for an early or mid-game Fisch player. This is because of a multitude of factors, all of which involve reliance on RNG. For one, the catch rates for the five required fish are quite low, which demands the usage of rare bait and fishing rod combinations.

Another point of contention is the tools required to catch them, which are at odds with the quality of the prize itself. The Shamrock Rod is a decent early- to mid-game fishing tool, the effectiveness of which will fall off the farther you are in the game. Despite this, the difficulty associated with its acquisition makes it a mid to late-game reward, at which point the rod will be useless to the player.

If you are an early-game player, the time investment required to luck into all five fish would be high. In contrast, as a late-game player, you are unlikely to find any practical use for it other than as a collector’s item.

To sum up, if you are not pursuing the rod for collection purposes, putting in the effort for the Shamrock Rod is not worth it.
