Is it worth to use the Golden Rod?

All I want is another set of crystals to decorate with I don't have time for 1,000,000 crystal hairpins ;-;

LOL! For real. Why did we get so many? I don’t need to make my villagers wear all them hairpins. They should’ve done a dress or shoes if they wanted to add more clothing. (Although, I wouldn’t have minded more furniture items)
 
Pretty sure they drastically changed the odds of catching a coelacanth.. The first day or two I always had at least one and often a bunch, now often none!

Yup, same for me. It got really hard during the 1200 points between rewards. I was only getting 300-400 point catches if I was lucky. Finally completed it, so now I’m just trying to collect the extra crystals. Dx

I actully did manage to get to the end goals, BUT it was because since day 2 I set frequent alarms for myself while I was asleep that way I could fish for the max amount of rotations I could. Work causes me to miss 1 or 2 rotations a day, and I ended up working I think 3 days there was a tourney. I didn't rent the gold rod or use any of my nets, hallajuah (I think I spelled that wrong).
 
I have never felt the need to have to purchase the golden rod for an event since i do play quite actively and can finish most of the event goals and get all the items by the end of it but if you're busy it would be a good help since you can't play as often
 
every fishing tourney i've taken part in, i've used the golden rod, but only bc i don't log in very often during the day
 
I haven't bought the golden rod ever since none of the fishing tourney furniture has ever really appealed to me. I usually get to at least gold though if I check a couple of times a day.
 
I only buy the golden rod if the items available in the fishing tourney are really interesting to me. The one going on right now has had really cool stuff, but honestly idk if it's because they've made it so easy, but I was able to get up to 30,000 cm like two days before the event was scheduled to end.

This event was the one and only time I've bought the golden rod, so I don't know when it is or isn't a good buy. I guess I would say if you're not having a whole lot of luck catching one at a time, and there's a lot of items you want from the tourney, then going for the golden rod is your best bet.
 
It for sure finishes the tourney quicker, but honestly it isn't needed.
I got a good majority of fish by the regular rod and nets with no issue.

Also, the rod is sorta expensive if you are free to play, which I am, so I don't like spending leaf tickets, unless it is something I really want. It really depends on you, though.
 
absolutely not. it's a complete waste of leaf tickets honestly, especially since fishing tourneys are now tied with other events that give you tourney nets as an award.

i used to buy golden rods when leaf tickets weren't as relevant and with the introduction of fortune cookies i regret it.
