Lucid Rod

Lucid Rod is sold at the Ancient Archives for C$80,000, and you need a certain level to use it. Its description says it channels the power of dreams, granting the Lucid mutation and rarely cloning catches, particularly under clear skies. It carries a passive.

The stats are lopsided toward toughness. 500,000 kg ranks 11th of 117 rods that list a weight cap, and 45 Resilience ranks 26th of 184. 80 Lure Speed is 71st. But Luck of 100 is only 104th of 184, and Control of -0.05 ranks 168th of 185, among the worst handling around.

So this is a heavy-hauler that is hard to control and not especially lucky. The clear-sky bonus on cloning is a niche trigger: it rewards fishing when the weather is clear.

Cheaper rods beat its Luck: Carrot Rod (125 Luck, C$75,000), Cinder Block Rod (300 Luck, C$50,000) and Friendly Rod (105 Luck, C$0). Anchor n' Chain, Elder Mossripper, Dead Man's Rod, Cupid's Embrace and Precision Rod are sold in the same place if you want options.

Buy it for the Lucid mutation and clone chance, and plan your fishing around clear skies. Otherwise skip it.
