Fishing is one of the most important professions in the World of Warcraft game because it is the most relevant to cooking. Stocking up on supplies and preparing meals for lower-level characters in the bank for weekly raids is critical.

In Cataclysm, all the Fishing poles introduced in Classic WoW are available, and some are worth having just for their distinct appearance. For those competing in Fishing contests, such as the Stranglethorn Fishing Contest or the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby, having one of these unique poles adds a touch of style to your victory. This guide will tell you what the best fishing poles are and where to get them. If your Gamertag level is not up to par, you can experience these fishing poles to Buy a WoW Cataclysm Classic Account!

Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole

Item Level: 20

Buffs: +25 Fishing skill

How To Get It: Reward for the quest "Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme." Requires 225 Fishing skills.

This pole might look plain, but it’s a rare quality item with a valuable buff, making it handy for players still leveling their Fishing skills. Before the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, completing the "Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme" quest was necessary to surpass 225 Fishing skills. While that’s no longer required, the quest is still available for those who don’t mind a bit of exploration. The quest involves traveling to various remote locations in Azeroth to catch four rare fish in exchange for this pole and Nat’s lifelong friendship. If you happen to lose it, Nat will happily replace it.

Arcanite Fishing Pole

Item Level: 20

Buffs: +40 Fishing Skill

How To Get It: A rare reward from the Northrend Fishing Quest. Requires 300 Fishing and winning the Stranglethorn Fishing Contest.

This is one of the most challenging items to obtain in the game, and it’s not just any fishing pole—it's one of the rarest. It's awarded to the first player who delivers 40 Tastyfish to Riggle Bassbait, a Goblin NPC in Booty Bay. Many players participate in this contest, not just for this impressive fishing pole, but also for the associated Achievements.

Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000

Item Level: 50

Buffs: +20 Fishing skill

How To Get It: Quest reward for hunting turtles. Requires 100 Fishing skills and completion of a quest in the Hinterlands.

A good choice for players between level 40 and level 50 is this fishing pole. A fishing rod is a reward for hunting turtles, which may seem strange, but it is the reality. While Horde players must visit Katoom the Angler in Revantusk Village to accept "Snapjaws, Mon!", Alliance players can obtain it from Dron Blastbrew through the quest "Snapjaws, Lad!" You can go back to the quest giver, beat some turtles once again, and get the same reward if you lose or demolish this pole. The eastern shoreline is still where you may find the turtles.

Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole

Item Level: 200

Buffs: +30 Fishing skills, Underwater Breathing

How To Get It: A reputation reward from the Tuskarr. Requires level 80, Fishing skill of 300, and Exalted status with the Kalu'ak.

This epic-quality fishing pole is powerful enough to be considered raid gear and is the only one of its kind in the game. Despite its buffs and requirements, it’s relatively easy to obtain by reaching an Exalted reputation with the Kalu'ak. For players who appreciate the Northrend aesthetic, this is a must-have item. The pole shares the unique style of the Kalu'ak tribe, which also hosts its fishing contest, the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby.

Bone Fishing Pole

Item Level: 15

Buffs: +30 Fishing skill

How To Get It: A random reward from Fishing quests. Requires 300 Fishing skills.

This rare fishing pole has a spinning reel shaped like a skull with glowing eyes, adding a touch of cool or creepiness depending on your preference. After completing any Fishing quest, players have a chance to receive this pole in a Bag of Shiny Things or a Bag of Fishing Treasures. Originally, during the Burning Crusade expansion, it was only available through the Outland fishing quests in Shattrath, which were the highest level at the time. In Cataclysm, it can be obtained from any fishing quest, provided the character has a Fishing skill of 300 or higher.

Jeweled Fishing Pole

Item Level: 15

Buffs: +30 Fishing skill

How To Get It: A random reward from Fishing quests. Requires 300 Fishing skills.

The Jeweled Fishing Pole is a must-have for anyone who’s anyone in Northrend. Described as "a Tiffany Cartier original," this is one of the most stylish rods in the game, even if it isn’t the rarest or highest level. Like the Bone Fishing Pole, it was initially available from the Dalaran quest-giver during the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Nowadays, it can be found in either of the reward bags, as long as the character meets the level requirement. It’s great for both showing off and fishing.
