Merchant Rod review
Merchant Rod was meant for Merchants, and its description says it has a 50% chance to create a whirlpool, allowing random bait to be caught. It sat in the Whale Interior with a price of E$20,000, a currency other than C$. Today it is unobtainable, so you cannot get it.
Its stat line is low. 25 Lure Speed, 60 Luck, 0.05 Control, 18 Resilience and a 5,000 kg weight cap, with no passive. None of the numbers would have impressed. The whirlpool was the draw, since catching random bait is a side objective rather than a stat advantage.
Because it is gone, the practical value is nil. If you want random bait, you will need to look at what rods exist now rather than hoping this one returns.
For anyone cataloguing retired gear, record it as a Whale Interior rod, priced in E$, with a whirlpool-bait effect and entry-level numbers. It is a footnote in the game's history, not something worth searching for.
