Like a Dragon Ishin Fishing Guide

You can start fishing with a basic rod and by going to a fishing spot to begin catching fish. But the game has plenty of ways that can help you catch better fish and also make it easier. Let’s first take a look at how to fish in the game.

How to Fish

Although you can get a basic fishing rod from a shop and start fishing, you can also buy a better fishing rod for a higher price that offers better performance. You can purchase a good fishing rod from Shinto Priests’ exchange shop, provided that you have enough Virtue to buy one.

Fishing rods are also specialized for use in the river or the sea. These are the two different types of fishing spots: rivers and sea.

Once you have the fishing rod, follow the mini-game to catch a fish. The only difference with fishing when using a basic rod and a good rod like the Rivermaster or the Sea Master is that it will take less time to catch a fish as compared to using a basic starter rod.

All Fishing Rods

There are 6 different types of fishing rods that you can get in the game. The table below shows all the fishing rods, where to get them, and what each rod costs.

Fishing Rod Cost

Sea Classic Can be bought from the Shinto Priest Virtue Exchange Shop for 400
Sea Master Can be bought from the Shinto Priest Virtue Exchange Shop for 1,500
Peerless Pole Can be bought from the Shinto Priest Virtue Exchange Shop for 4,000

Fish Identification

Fish in the game cannot be recognized when in water, but they appear in different shapes, where you can only guess what type of fish you are about to catch. The game differentiates fishes into 4 different shapes that you can slightly use to identify the type of fish in the water.

The four different shapes of fish are:

  • Normal looking fish shape
  • Kite-shaped or diamond-shaped fish
  • Thin long fish shape
  • Tiny blob
