How to Get Scavenger Rod in Fisch
To get the Scavenger Rod, you need to complete Dr. Crookspine's Errands. The quest requires you to collect three different types of materials.
- Obtain 2 Silver Rusty Bolts: You need to obtain 2 Silver Rusty Bolts. The easiest method is to fish in the Mineshaft using a Titanium Rod with Garbage Bait while having Mutated Sharky equipped. Alternatively, you can use a Mutation Totem and then appraise the items to try to get the required mutation.
- Catch and Return 5 Scrap Metal: Next, you need to catch and return 5 Scrap Metal to Dr. Crookspine. For this objective, head to The Depths during the day and fish using any Fishing Rod with Garbage Bait. Garbage Bait is important here because it increases your chances of obtaining the required junk items.
- Obtain 1 Lunar String: Finally, you need to obtain 1 Lunar String. For this, fish in Desolate Deep using the Moonlit Rod while having Mutated Sharky equipped. You can also use a Mutation Totem and appraise the item to obtain the required mutation.
Once you have completed all three objectives, return to Dr. Crookspine at the Laboratory to finish Dr. Crookspine's Errands and claim the Scavenger Rod.

Best Enchants for Scavenger Rod
- Hasty: Gives +55% Lure Speed, taking the rod's Lure Speed from 75% to 130%. This is a good option if you want faster catches while still benefiting from the rod's passive.
- Quality: Provides +20% Luck, +10% Resilience, +20% Lure Speed, and +5% Progress Speed, making it a strong all-round option.
- Resilient: Gives +35% Resilience and +10% Fish Weight, which can make the reeling minigame easier while also increasing fish size.

Is the Scavenger Rod Worth It?
Yes, the Scavenger Rod is worth getting, especially because it is completely free. Its 100% Luck, 75% Lure Speed, and 75,000 kg Max Kg give it decent base stats, but its real strength is its Rare Finds ability.
The rod is especially useful if you are trying to find Enchant Relics, Treasure Maps, Nukes, Rotted Seeds, or Threads. It is not one of the strongest endgame rods for catching fish, but its specialized ability gives it a useful purpose even after you obtain better rods. Since you only need to complete Dr. Crookspine's quest to get it, there is little reason not to add it to your collection.
