How to Upgrade Your Fishing Rod in Stardew Valley
To upgrade your fishing rod in Stardew Valley, you can't just tweak the one you start with. Instead, you unlock better rods by increasing your fishing skill and purchasing them from Willy's Fish Shop on the beach. Once you hit Fishing Level 2, Willy will send you a letter saying he's got new rods available. The first upgrade is the Fiberglass Rod, which lets you use bait. Keep leveling up, and eventually, you'll unlock the Iridium Rod, which allows for both bait and tackles, maximizing your fishing potential!

Short and sweet – just keep fishing and leveling up! Willy sells all the upgrades. You can't modify rods; you buy better versions.
Honestly, don't stress too much about the rod at first. Focus on improving your fishing skill by, well, fishing a lot. Each new rod becomes a game-changer, especially the Iridium Rod. It totally transformed my fishing game.
