Hotline Fishing Hook

Hardmode Angler quest reward and magma casting

Acquired as an uncommon prize from the Angler after completing more than 25 quests in Hardmode, this pole rolls at roughly a 1/140 chance. It features 45% fishing power, placing it among the most capable rods in the game. It possesses an innate ability to cast lines directly into Underworld lava pools without needing specialized fireproof bait.

Underworld crate retrieval without fireproof gear

Allows anglers to hook Obsidian Crates, Hellstone Crates, and magma fish using common surface lures like Master Bait. Only the Golden Fishing Rod (50% power) surpasses its strength, though that rod requires 30 quests and lacks built-in lava capabilities without a Lavaproof Fishing Hook.

Trivia

• Enables normal surface baits to submerge into magma pools without incinerating.
• Only offered by the Angler once Hardmode has been initiated in the world.
