Old Betsy

Old Betsy is a fishing rod in Far Cry 5. It has the best handling and line strength of any fishing rod but reels in slower.
To unlock Old Betsy, each region in Hope County has a state record that must be beaten. To beat the records it is highly recommended to acquire the perk 'Fisher King'. Completing this early in the game can be beneficial as the fish caught while achieving the records can be sold and Old Betsy can help to easily acquire further money from catching more fish.
The records can be viewed on a board in each regions 'headquarters' with completed records marked by a blue ribbon.
*County records are displayed on every board (trout).
*Holland Valley, Fall's End, back of the Spread Eagle bar (sturgeon).
*Whitetail Mountains, Wolf's Den, next to the weapons shop (salmon).
*Henbane River, Hope County Jail, just left of the weapons shop (bass).
