About Fishing rod
The Fishing rod is a free-to-play tool in Old School RuneScape.
"Useful for catching sardine or herring"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 89 and 715 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 194 gp. About 1,196 units changed hands per day. The price is up 197.9% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 40 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 3 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 3 gp, which is 98.5% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
