Midas Rod review
Every fish you reel in with the Midas Rod comes out golden, according to its description. You can buy it from the Travelling Merchant for C$55,000, and the same merchant also sells the Mythical Rod.
The interesting part is how lopsided the stats are. 70 Lure Speed ranks 97th of 184 obtainable rods and Control of 0.2 ranks 29th of 185, both respectable. Its 4,000 kg cap is 79th of 117. Luck of 79 is 130th of 184, which is average at best. Then there is -30 Resilience, which ranks 180th of 184, close to the bottom of the whole list.
That negative Resilience is the cost of the golden passive, and it means the rod will struggle more against strong fish. Cheaper options beat its Luck too: Cinder Block Rod (300 Luck, C$50,000), Friendly Rod (105 Luck, C$0) and Cupid's Embrace (214 Luck, C$15,000).
Pick the Midas Rod if golden fish are the goal and you can live with weak Resilience. For general progress, the cheaper rods above are a stronger buy.
