How To Get A Fishing Pole
Every Fishing Pole
Fishing in Terraria is useful because you can find special crates in the water instead of fish. These crates can contain valuable and unique loot that you can't get any other way. Crates can be fished from any large body of water in any biome both on the surface and underground. They can contain weapons, accessories, and even mounts.

How To Get A Fishing Pole
There are different levels and rarities of fishing poles in Terraria. The most common, easiest fishing pole to acquire is a Wooden Fishing Pole. This can be crafted at any point in the game with eight Wood at a crafting bench.
Every fishing pole will have a level of Fishing Power and Velocity. Velocity is how far your bobber can be thrown. Fishing Power is your chances of actually catching fish. The next best fishing poles would be an Iron/Lead fishing pole crafted from an anvil, and then Demonite or Crimtane.
Only three fishing poles (Wooden, Reinforced Iron/Lead, Demonite/Crimtane) can be crafted personally. Any other fishing pole in the game must be acquired by defeating enemies or finding loot.
Every Fishing Pole
There are 11 fishing poles in the game. The first three craftable poles will only have Fishing Power of up to 22 percent. You can acquire fishing poles that have a power of 50 percent with added buffs such as being able to fish in lava or increasing your chances of catching fish.
The best fishing pole in Terraria is the Golden Fishing Pole. This can only be acquired through completing tons of Angler fishing quests. The number of quests you have to complete in order to be rewarded with the fishing pole is not consistent, but it is at least past 30 quests.
The Angler is an NPC found at the oceanside beach biome. This biome is found on either side of the end of the map. He can be added as a villager in your town. The Angler can only give one quest per day. You can spam quests by using Journey Mode and making it morning and night whenever you please.
