Best Minecraft Fishing Rod Enchantments

Minecraft has tons of enchantments, with some suiting certain items more than others. In this guide, we'll take a look at the best enchantments for fishing rods.

Best Enchantments for Fishing Rods in Minecraft

From increasing the bite rate to making the fishing rod more durable, these four enchantments have everything you need to create the perfect fishing rod. Two of them are specific for fishing rods, while the other two, I believe, should be on every piece of gear you use often.

Luck of the Sea

The Luck of the Sea enchantment increases the player's luck while fishing and is the first of the two enchantments made specifically for fishing rods. It increases the rate of catching treasure items by 2% per enchanting level while simultaneously decreasing the rate of catching junk by 2% per enchanting level. Luck of the Sea III raises the treasure item catch rate to 11.3%. Because of this, we highly recommend putting Luck of the Sea on your fishing rod as soon as you can.

Lure

Lure is the second enchantment that is used specifically for fishing rods. The enchantment increases the bite rate for the player's fishing pole, decreasing the time it takes for items and fish to appear on the hook by five seconds per enchantment level. Combining Lure III with Luck of the Sea III will enable you to consistently catch rarer items while fishing. It's an unbeatable combo!

Mending

Mending is a necessity for any gear you'll be using consistently. It allows your gear to repair itself by absorbing experience points, including those that come from fishing. After enchanting a fishing rod with Luck of the Sea and Lure, it's best to add Mending so that you can keep using your already-enchanted rod forever. Combining it with Unbreaking will make your perfect, unbreakable fishing rod dreams a reality!

Unbreaking

Unbreaking is a perfect enchantment for any item. It gives items a chance to avoid losing durability when used, essentially increasing the item's durability. Giving an item the Unbreaking III enchantment makes its durability four times greater than the item's original durability. It's not necessary if you're not much of a fisherman, but its usefulness cannot be denied.
