The [[Training Rod]] is a special [[Tools|tool]] used to catch [[fish]]. It can be purchased for {{price|25}} from [[Fish Shop|Willy's Fish Shop]]. This rod is useful if the player has difficulty with the fishing minigame, as it sets the player's fishing skill equal to level 5 for the purposes of determining how big to make the green bar (136 pixels), but only if they have not reached level 5 yet. It cannot have [[bait]] or [[tackle]] attached to it, but slows bar depletion as well as the [[Trap Bobber]] does<ref>See <samp>BobberBar.update</samp> in the game code.</ref>.

The Training Rod can catch only basic fish (fish whose difficulty is lower than 50), and all fish caught will be of normal quality. However, fish caught with the Training Rod grant the same XP as with any other fishing rod, and count towards [[Achievements]] and the Fish [[Collections|Collection]]. [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Treasure chests]] can also be caught with this rod.

*Because the [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]] are not subject to the training rod difficulty check like other fish, it is possible to catch Legendary Fish with the Training Rod. <!-- In fact, it's possible to catch those fish without meeting their level requirements using this rod. -->
