Fishing Rod

A fishing rod is a tool that casts a bobber used to fish in water or to hook and pull mobs, items‌[JE only], and some other entities toward the player.

Enchanted fishing rods are obtainable through fishing, with a 0.8% chance per attempt, while unenchanted ones are obtainable with a 0.2% chance per attempt. See fishing for more details.

Drowned have a 3.75% chance of spawning holding a fishing rod in their main hand, and in Bedrock Edition, a converted drowned has a 1% chance to spawn with a fishing rod. If killed, they have an 8.5% chance of dropping this fishing rod. That chance increases by 1% for each level of Looting applied to a weapon (up to 11.5% chance). The dropped item is damaged and never enchanted.
