# How to Fish Gear — Rods, Guns, Engines

Buy the island’s shop. A bigger rifle never replaces a quest bait.
Gear in How to Fish is island-gated. The Lighthouse sells a joke Crab Fishing Rod and melee. Forest sells a shotgun, dynamite, Beginner lures, and a cheap engine. Desert funds SMG-tier guns and the grill. Rocks sells Professional lures, a sniper, and the best engine. Volcano sells Scientific lures, the Assault Rifle, and attachments. There is no Master Rod, Carbon Rod, or Rocket Launcher in the documented shops.
Upgrade when the local pool stops paying or a boss ignores your fists—not because a tension meter turned red. This game reels creatures onto land and kills them. Rods are bait delivery. Guns are the DPS.

## What gear does not do

It does not skip locked islands (Patch 1.0.5). It does not spawn Spider Crab without the Empty Beer Can. It does not make the boat fly—that is dynamite. Difficulty from 1.0.9 changes creature health and damage, so Hard wants more ammo and more cooked fish, not a fictional harpoon.
Patch 1.0.10: dip weapons and tools in water after cooking so they are not breaded. Ground piles save up to 64 items; do not assume a dropped rifle is gone after a quit if it was prioritized.
- Weapons — melee through Assault Rifle
- Attachments — four slots and the Fully equipped achievement
- Lures & Bait — Ham through Coconut and Fish Bucket
- Engines — Forest $230 vs Dual Motors $860
- Items — trophies you must not sell

## Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers to the questions players ask most about the game.
Rod first (~$3), then melee before Spider Crab, then Beer for the Empty Beer Can. A gun becomes the priority on Island 2.
Each story island has a shop NPC. Island 1 is the Lighthouse Keeper. Later islands add guns, lures, engines, and the Assault Rifle.
A Fully equipped Assault Rifle for the lava whale. Until then: knife or knuckles, shotgun, SMG, then sniper for the Albatross.
