Fishing in the game How to Fish is more like a battle than sitting quietly on a dock. To fish successfully, you need quality How to Fish weapons and equipment. The ranking below will help you easily choose them.

In the game How to Fish, once you hook a fish, you will have to confront it, and the weapon in your hand is the deciding factor in how quickly or slowly the match ends. Weapons will be unlocked as you progress to new islands; Therefore, choosing the right weapon and equipment depends a lot on the current stage of the game as well as the amount of money you are accumulating.

The best weapon in the game How to Fish

The more islands you unlock, the more weapons you have. This means that not every weapon is suitable for every area, simply because you cannot get them in the early stages.

How to Fish’s weapon rankings are as follows:

Rank S – Weapons can be used effectively on many islands and are reasonably priced.
Rank A – Weapons that are extremely effective on a specific island and the early stages of the next. They cause great damage on the local island but are no longer so effective when moving to the next island.
Rank B – Weapons that are useful in specific situations, such as when facing bosses.
Rank C – Weapons that should be ignored as they are a waste of money.

Weapon rankings in the game How to Fish

Weapons	Ranking	Why?	Best choice
Brass Knuckles	C	Brass Knuckles provide increased damage compared to unarmed combat in the early stages of the mission, but the modest increase of 5 damage per hit hardly makes up for the cost—especially since you can completely save the money to buy a knife instead. Another point to consider is that Brass Knuckles require a lot of grinding but are not significantly effective, as they only provide a very limited damage increase.	Skip
Knife	A	The best starting weapon you can get in How to Fish. You can accumulate enough money to buy it quite quickly and the amount of damage it causes is far superior to Brass Knuckles. Right from the start, Dao deals 16 damage and you can also upgrade it to level 22 right on the first island. Once on the second island, knives are still useful in the early stages of fishing to accumulate money to buy the next weapon. However, its value will decrease quickly after that, because its melee damage multiplier is not as good as the ranged damage multiplier of weapons like Last Bullet or Headshot.

Pistol	S	The type of weapon you should equip while on Leech Island. It is much cheaper than shotguns. This type of gun deals great damage and possesses many useful multipliers for long-range weapons such as One Shot One Kill (one shot, one kill), Headshot (head shot), etc. In addition, it also has more ammo than a shotgun, helping you not have to continuously reload every few seconds. Don’t forget to use your pistol to shoot down seagulls and find food!	Leech Island Grillmaster Island
Shotgun	A	This is a useful weapon in How to Fish, but its high price (three times the price of the Pistol) actually makes it a costly investment. If playing in a group, having a member equipped with a Shotgun to deal widespread damage (bullet damage) can bring certain benefits. However, its effectiveness is mainly only effective when confronting the island boss Big Piranha.	Leech Island
Dynamite	B	This explosive is quite cheap so you can easily buy it at any time, but it is not always useful.

These hordes are extremely annoying and can cause you to lose your life many times if you don’t have a good wide-area damage move like explosives.	Leech Island
SMG	S	SMG is the next weapon you should consider buying while on Grillmaster Island. It deals quick damage, and also has a long-range damage multiplier. The gun’s recoil can be quite strong, but you can purchase upgrades like the Compensator to overcome this problem.	Grillmaster Island Casino Island Volcano Island
Sniper Rifle	A	Sniper guns are extremely effective for taking down flying birds as well as scoring points thanks to the headshot damage multiplier. However, the bullet-by-bullet reloading mechanism can sometimes be a bit annoying. It’s best to use it in a squad with teammates equipped with submachine guns (SMGs). Upgrades make this weapon much more powerful, but the cost is quite expensive. Sniper guns are essential equipment in the boss battle against Albatross.	Casino Island Volcano Island
Assault Rifle	A	This gun deals damage extremely quickly. It can quickly “tear apart” bosses at Standard and even Professional levels, especially when fully upgraded. This weapon is quite expensive—the cost can be nearly ten times higher than a Sniper Rifle if upgrades are included—so this is definitely a late-game weapon. It is a must-have item for the Bowheaded Whale boss fight, especially in phase two when the boss has been transformed.	Volcano Island
