Fishing Rods are items that appear throughout the Breath of Fire series and are required, along with bait, to catch fish. Both are pieces of equipment that only Ryu is able to use.

In the first game of the Breath of Fire series, fishing is very basic: if Ryu has a Rod and some bait he can cast at a fishing spot, and his success is determined by various (?) factors. Presumably rods with a higher number increase the chances of success, and they can be found in the following places:
- Rod1: 1300GP in Auria, 1000GP in Prima
- Rod2: 2000GP in Prima
- Rod3: possibly does not exist
- Rod4: Lab
- Rod5: Tunlan
Rod5 has the special property that it allows Ryu to fish in wells and the duck-pond in Spring. This yields very valuable items:
- DragonSD: West of Romero
- Slab: Northwest of Tantar (the slab hints at the location of the Cleansing Water Spring)
- DragonHT: South of Arad
- DragonAR: duck-pond in Spring
- DragonSH: East of Gramor

In Breath of Fire II, the difference between Rods is their Stamina. Once a fish is hooked, each button press decreases the rod's life-meter, and stronger rods need more button presses to deplete it.
