Where to Find Intermediate Fishing Rod (Croajiro)
The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is fishing in the Snowfields at 100.0% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Schematics That Unlock Intermediate Fishing Rod (Croajiro)
Intermediate Fishing Rod (Croajiro) is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
Fastest route. The top-tier Intermediate Fishing Rod (Croajiro) schematic is worth hunting directly — fishing in the Snowfields is its best source, at roughly 1 containers a copy. Schematics fuse five-to-one, so a lower tier with better odds can beat the top tier outright. Counts are containers of that source, not time.

Alternatives and Upgrades
Advanced Fishing Rod (Pengullet) matches it exactly at 25 attack — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw attack, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. Nothing above it is meaningfully stronger, so this is effectively the top of the class — below it is Intermediate Fishing Rod (Cattiva) at 25.
