The best fishing pole in Terraria is the Golden Fishing Rod. It’s the strongest fishing rod, and you can obtain it upon completing one of the quests for the Angler. While it works for any adequate body of water, you can’t fish in lava using the Golden Fishing Rod. The pole was added to the game in version 1.2.4, and since version 1.3.0.1, players have been able to acquire the rod after completing 30 quests instead of 50.
