How to make a fishing rod and catch fish in LEGO Fortnite

With the release of the LEGO Fortnite v28.30 update, you can enjoy fishing as a new feature. However, you will need to make a fishing rod first, so this guide will show you how to get the materials and craft a fishing rod in LEGO Fortnite.

How to craft Fishing Rod in LEGO Fortnite

LEGO Fortnite allows you to craft four different fishing rods, and here's the recipe for each rod so you can catch all the fish you need:

• Common Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 1 Crafting Bench): 1x Wooden Rod, 2x Cord, 1x Wolf Claw
• Uncommon Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 2 Crafting Bench): 2x Knotroot Rod, 3x Cord, 1x Silk Thread, 3x Wolf Claw
• Rare Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 3 Crafting Bench): 3x Flexwood Rod, 1x Drawstring, 2x Wool Thread, 3x Sand Claw
• Epic Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 4 Crafting Bench): 3x Frostpine Rod, 2x Drawstring, 3x Heavy Wool Thread, 3x Arctic Claw

As you may expect, you’re more likely to pull in your catch with a higher-rarity Fishing Rod, but the lower-rarity ones are easier to make.
