No matter how many expansions or remasters World of Warcraft has had, Fishing is the most important profession. It is related to the game’s Cooking, and is a must-have skill for making reserves for low-level characters in the game’s weekly raids.

In WOW Cataclysm Classic, you can arguably have the most complete collection of Fishing Poles in all of Classic WoW, and some of them have unique appearances. For those who want to win in fishing competitions such as Stranglethorn Fishing Contest or Kalu’ak Fishing Derby, Fishing Poles in this guide may make your fishing abilities even better!

Nat’s Lucky Fishing Pole

• Item Level: 20
• Buff: +25 Fishing Skill
• How to get: Requires Fishing 225 and completion of Nat Pagle, Extreme Angler quest

This Fishing Pole may not look that outstanding from the outside, but its quality is really impressive and it can provide you with a lot of benefits, especially for players who want to further improve their ability level.

Before Wrath of The Lich King expansion, the quest required to obtain this item was a quest that had to be completed when your Fishing level reached 225 or above, but now it is completely different. If you don’t mind seeing more of Azeroth, you can try this quest.

This quest is actually very simple. Just go to some remote areas of Azeroth and bring back four rare fish for this Fishing Pole and Nat’s eternal friendship. If you accidentally lose it during subsequent exploration, you can also return to this location and Nat will be happy to give you a new one.

Arcanite Fishing Pole

• Item Level: 20
• Buff: +40 Fishing Skill
• How to get: Requires Fishing 300, reward for winning Stranglethorn Fishing Contest

Arcanite Fishing Pole is one of the hardest items to get in the game, and it’s definitely a very rare Fishing Pole. Be the first to bring 40 Tastyfish back to Booty Bay and turn them in to Goblin NPC Riggle Bassbait to receive this fishing pole and some Cataclysm Gold as a reward.

Many players in the community have said that they entered this contest not only for the cool-looking Fishing Pole but also for the achievement “What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been.” You’ll also receive the coveted Violet Proto-Drake mount and the title of Salty.

Nat Pagle’s Extreme Angler FC-5000

• Item Level: 50
• Buff: +20 Fishing Skill
• How to get: Requires Fishing Skill 100 and completing a quest in Hinterlands

For players between level 40 and 50, Nat Pagle’s Extreme Angler FC-5000 is the perfect item for you. Although it may sound a bit strange that this Fishing Pole is a reward for hunting turtles, it works very well overall.

This quest is different for Alliance players and Horde players. Alliance players need to go to Dron Blastbrew and Snapjaws, Lad! Quest. Meanwhile, Horde players need to go to Revantusk Village on the coast and speak to Katoom Angler about Snapjaws, Mon! Quest.

Similar to Nat’s Lucky Fishing Pole, if you accidentally lose Nat Pagle’s Extreme Angler FC-5000 during subsequent exploration, you can return to the quest provider, kill a few more turtles, and you will receive the same reward as before.

Mastercraft Kalu’ak Fishing Pole

• Item Level: 200
• Buffs: Fishing skill +30, Underwater breathing
• How to get: Character level 80, Fishing skill 300, friendship with Karuak

This is a very high-level Fishing Pole that can also be used as equipment in your team. This is also the only Epic quality Fishing Pole in the game, so considering the very good buffs and requirements of this item, you only need to get an Exalted reputation with Kalu’ak people to get it.

If you are interested in the aesthetic of Northrend, then you must not miss this Mastercraft Kalu’ak Fishing Pole. This Fishing Pole has a similar and unique style to the local Kalu’ak tribe, and they also have their own fishing competitions. You can try to participate in their Kalu’ak Fishing Derby.

Bone Fishing Pole

• Item Level: 15
• Buff: +30 Fishing Skill
• How to get: Requires Fishing 300, random reward from fishing quest

This Fishing Pole has a unique appearance because its spinning reel is a skeleton with glowing eyes, so many players are often scared by it when using it. After you complete any fishing quest, you will get a Bag of Shiny Things or a Bag of Fishing Treasures, and Bone Fishing Pole will also be hidden inside.

In the previous expansions of Cataclysm, you also need to complete Outland Fishing quest, but now in Cataclysm, you can get it at will as long as you reach fishing ability level 300 or above. This is much easier!

Jeweled Fishing Pole

• Item Level: 15
• Buff: +30 Fishing Skill
• How to get: Requires Fishing 300, random reward from fishing quest

Anyone in Northrend will have a Jeweled Fishing Pole and praise it as a Tiffany Cartier original. Although it is not the rarest or even the most advanced, it has become a favorite of many players because of its very fashionable appearance.

Like Bone Fishing Pole, its appearance is also quite random. So this Jeweled Fishing Pole is very usable and ornamental.

The above is some of the best Fishing Poles you can use in WoW Cataclysm Classic. In the upcoming WoW Cataclysm Classic Phase 2 Rise of the Zandalari on July 30, you can use them to add more fun to your exploration!
