The new Retro Island update in Fish It introduces new content, including the Noobed Rod skin. This is one item you won’t want to miss, as it’s completely free and can be obtained without spending any Robux. Beyond its cosmetic appeal, the rod is also required to unlock a new fishing spot. In this guide, you’ll learn how to get the Noobed Rod skin in Fish It.

What Is the Noobed Rod Skin in Fish It?

The Noobed Rod isn’t just a cosmetic. Unlike most skins that are purely for appearance, this one allows you to fish in areas your regular rod can’t access. With the Noobed Rod, you can fish in the cave pond in front of John Doe, which was previously restricted.

You can get the Noobed Rod skin by completing a quest from the John Doe NPC himself, who can be found on Retro Island.

How to Get the Noobed Rod Skin in Fish It

Step 1: Head to Retro Island

First, make sure you're actually in the Retro Island area. You can use your boat and head right from the Fisherman Island. That's where the new POI is. Once you're there, find John Doe inside a cave just near the pond on top of the island and talk to him to pick up the quest.

Step 2: Catch 10 Legendary Fish

John Doe will ask you to catch 10 Legendary fish in the Retro Island area. That's it, but of course it takes some time. Since Legendary fish don't appear all the time, you will need to be patient. Turn on auto fishing and stick to the Retro Island fishing spots.

Step 3: Turn In the Quest

Once you've caught all 10 Legendary fish, go back and talk to John Doe again. Hand in your quest, and the Noobed Rod skin will land straight in your inventory.

How to Finish the Quest Faster

Catching 10 Legendary fish can feel slow if you don't know what you're doing. A few things that actually help:

  1. Play during active events. Items and fish drop rates tend to be better when events are running.
  2. Don't get distracted by common fish. Skip them and focus on finding Legendaries.
  3. Stay in one good fishing spot, because moving around too much wastes time.

Noobed Rob Skin is worth getting because most free skins are just cosmetic, but this one gives you access to fishing spots that other players with basic rods can't use.

The quest takes longer than the other free skins in this update, but it's not complicated. You just need a bit of patience with the Legendary fish spawns. Go find John Doe and get started, your rod upgrade is waiting.
