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. However, using the Training Rod causes the progress bar to decrease 33% slower compared to other rods, having the same effect as the [[Trap Bobber]].<ref name="tbobber" />

Alternatively, on or after Spring 28, if you have been given the [[Bamboo Pole]] but not reached [[Skills#fishing|Fishing level 1]], entering the farm before 11:30 on a sunny day will cause Willy to visit and give you a Training Rod, and a fishing lesson which gives you level 1 Fishing.

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. The [[Modding:Fish data#Spawn rate|Spawn rate]] for all eligible fish also increases by 10%.<ref name="spawnrate" />
