The '''Barbarian rod''' is a heavier version of the [[fishing rod]] used during the [[Fishing]] portion of [[Barbarian Training]]. When you start that portion of the training Otto Godblessed will let you take this fishing rod from underneath the bed in his cabin; if you lose or drop it, get another from the bed. It uses [[fishing bait]], [[feather]]s, [[fish offcuts]], [[roe]], or [[caviar]] as bait. It is the only fishing rod capable of catching [[Leaping trout]], [[Leaping salmon]], and [[Leaping sturgeon]]. It can only be used in the fishing spots at [[Otto's Grotto]]. The unofficial world for heavy rod fishing is world 116. You also gain marginal [[Strength]] and [[Agility]] experience when you fish with this rod. Heavy-rod fishing is notable for being the fastest Fishing experience in the game, with the exception of fishing in class 2 dungeons using a gatherer's ring.

With use of the recyclable bait, players never need to bank. It can also be stored in the [[Toolbelt]]. That said, if catching a certain type of fish as part of the challenge system, you need to bank that type of fish as the quartermaster will need to take those off of you.

==Trivia==
*On [[6 January]], [[2009]], Barbarian fishing became slightly slower than before because of the "cut-all" option that Jagex introduced.{{CiteNews|author=Mod Liono|url=http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=1582|title=In Pyre Need|newsdate=6 January 2009|date=04:21, May 23, 2010 (UTC)}} This made cutting the fish take slightly longer. However, using feathers or bait to catch the fish will increase the experience per hour considerably.
*Although different in appearance in the inventory, the Barbarian Rod is no different in appearance to any other fishing rod in the Fishing animation.
*The Barbarian Rod appears to contain parts made out of Runite.
