The Fishing Event was one of the most requested features in Steal a Brainrot, and it delivers. It gives players a peaceful—but still strategic—way to collect valuable Aquatic Brainrots without battling other players or risking your base.

Step 1: Watch for the Hourly Fishing Event

Fishing isn’t always active—it’s a timed event you’ll need to catch at the right moment.

What to Look For

  • Fishing Rod Icon: Appears in the bottom-right corner when the event begins.
  • Underwater Lobby: The lobby floor floods, letting you dive underwater and start fishing.
  • Frequency: Usually once every hour, on the hour. Be ready before the timer hits zero.

To maximize your time, wait in the lobby a few minutes before the event starts.

Step 2: Equip and Upgrade Your Rod

Your rod determines how lucky your catches can be—and how rare your Brainrots are.

Getting Started

  • You begin with the Starter Rod, which offers basic catch luck.

Visit the Fisherman NPC

  • During the event, find him in the underwater lobby.
  • Spend Cash to buy upgraded rods such as the Frozen Rod, or the top-tier Radioactive Rod (which requires $10M plus multiple Rebirths).

Why Upgrades Matter

Better rods increase your Cast Luck, boosting your chances of reeling in Legendary, Mythical, or even Secret-tier Aquatic Brainrots.

Step 3: Nail the Casting Minigame

A perfect cast dramatically improves your odds.

How to Cast

  1. Equip your rod.
  2. Hold the Left Mouse Button (or mobile/controller equivalent) to charge your cast.
  3. Release the button when the power meter is near the top.

The closer your timing is to the meter’s peak, the higher your Cast Luck, which directly affects the rarity of your catch.

Step 4: Win the Reeling Minigame

Hooking a Brainrot is only half the battle—the reeling determines whether you keep it.

Stay Fast and Consistent

  • When you get a bite, a progress bar appears.
  • Rapidly click to fill the bar.
  • If you stop clicking, the bar drains quickly.
  • Let it hit zero, and the Brainrot escapes.

Keep a steady rhythm until the bar fills completely to secure your new Aquatic Brainrot.

Why Fishing Is the New November Meta

Fishing isn’t just relaxing—it’s incredibly rewarding.

Complete the Aquatic Index

Aquatic Brainrots (like Dolphins and Whales) form an entire new collection.

Collecting 23 out of 25 unlocks the exclusive Aquatic Base, one of the best upgrades in the game.

Access Rare Drops Without Fighting

High-tier rods let you catch rare Brainrots directly, generating huge amounts of Cash per second—no stealing required.

Mutation Synergy

Aquatic Brainrots can spawn with standard mutations (like Golden or Radioactive).

Fishing during special Weather Events can become extremely profitable thanks to boosted mutation chances.
