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" />

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.
