Fishing Guide Hobby Lotro

Equipment and Gear

POLES

• Basic Pole -- Given by hobbyist when you first learn the hobby
• Yew Pole -- +1 fishing level (player-crafted, recipe at Novice Woodworker)
• Well-made Yew Pole -- +3 fishing level (player-crafted, recipe at Novice Woodworker)
• Lebethron Pole -- +4 fishing level (player-crafted, recipe at Expert Woodworker)
• Well-made Lebethron Pole -- +5 fishing level (player-crafted, recipe at Expert Woodworker)

GEAR

• Fishing Vest -- Outfitters
• Fisherman's Shirt & Waders -- Quest Reward in Forochel

So far, gear is all cosmetic. No clothing known yet that adds any fishing buff.

**** Note on poles: There is good evidence that a +5 pole can help you level-cap quickly in early levels. However, the bonus quickly drops off and is unnoticeable after about level 40-50. Poles with a bonus do not let you catch above your level.
