The inclusion of Fishing Rods in Path of Exile is an Easter egg in reference to a running joke by Grinding Gear Games about the existence of secret gameplay features related to fishing. It has so far not been confirmed that any such gameplay features legitimately exist.

On September 6, 2013, player swordly started a thread on the official Path of Exile forums claiming to have found a Fishing Rod.[1] His post included a link to a Youtube video that shows in-game footage of a rare two-handed sword called Torment Bite, Fishing Rod.[2] In the video, the Fishing Rod sword has an appearance identical to Corroded BladeCorroded BladeTwo Hand Sword
