A stolen bait, a rigged reel, and a leaderboard full of secrets-Steal a Brainrot turns fishing into a high-stakes hustle where every cast could hook treasure or trouble.
How Does Fishing Work in Steal a Brainrot
Fishing in Steal a Brainrot works through a simple cast-and-catch system where players use different rods to catch various fish types. Once you equip a fishing rod, you cast your line into a water area and wait for a bite. Timing is key-when the prompt appears, you must react quickly to secure your catch. Each fish has its own value and rarity, with higher-quality rods improving your chances of catching rare species. Selling these fish earns in-game currency, which can be used to upgrade gear or purchase new items.

How to Fish Brainrots in Steal a Brainrot
Master the basics: cast your line with a steady pace, keep your rod tip up, and reel smoothly as you detect subtle bites. Use a bright bait that matches the water conditions, stay patient, and move quietly to avoid spooking nearby fish. Track the current’s flow to position yourself for successful hookups, and practice timing your reel-in to set the hook when the brainrot nibbles.
Once you have the fishing rods, fishing in Steal a Brainrot gets simple. First, equip the rod from your hot bar. Now, hold the left mouse button and leave it when the bar reaches the maximum threshold in the meter. You can leave it early, too. However, the closer to the top of the bar you are, the better luck you will have to catch a better brainrot.
After a brainrot is latched onto the rod, keep clicking a button to reel it in. You will notice the progress bar on your screen when the reeling process starts. Remember, if the progress goes back to zero, the brainrot will leave.
