You have to find a sparkling silver ore and then you have to get it refined Maria will do that for you and then you have to have the refined ore and the rod in your rucksack and then go to the blacksmith and he will upgrade it for you.
Before you can get the gold fishing rod you have to get the silver fishing rod and before you get the silver fishing rod you have to get the copper fishing rod. To get the copper fishing rod you upgrade your regular fishing rod at the general store.
First, you need a fishing rod. Then you go to the general store and upgrade to a iron fishing rod. After that, you can then upgrade to a copper one, and finally you can get silver. The blacksmith doesnt work for me, I go to the general store. HOPEE THIS HELPSSS!!!

When a copper rod is immersed in a silver nitrate solution, a redox reaction occurs where copper displaces silver from the solution to form copper nitrate and silver metal. This is due to copper being higher in the reactivity series than silver. As a result, the copper rod will become coated with a layer of silver metal while copper ions from the rod will transfer into the solution.
one of the fisherman on route 32 will give you a fishing rod.
You need your fishing skill to at least 3, and a silver rod Fish in the ocean during fall and winter its more rare so be patient

to catch the shark, go to east gull island when you have a golden rod up to the MAX level. When you get to east gull island, cast out your fishing rod as far as you can and sooner or later you should catch a shark -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this is my answer to you.i had a regular or iron rod when i caught my shark and it was the first catch that i made when i went to toucan island plus i didnt cast my rod out all the way i only charged it up once it was around miday maybe...
you get the good rod from somebody, and on route 12 there is a house, walk in there and speak to the guy, he will give you a super rod :).
