Advanced Iridium Rod + 2 Quality Bobber
Advanced Iridium Rod can be obtained after claiming Fishing Mastery in the Mastery Cave that is unlocked after the player has achieved level 10 in all 5 skills.

Fish = Iridium
You don't need a perfect catch. Works well with fishes like Goby, Void, Slimejack, Sandfish, Blue Discus, Pufferfish, and the Night Market fish list.

Calculation to Fish Quality
1st basis is the Fish size. Larger fish = Higher quality.
2nd is getting Perfect catch that adds 1 level to quality.
For normal fishing with Iridium Rod and any other Bobber.
Fish must be Gold quality with perfect catch to secure Iridium.
But using 2 quality bobbers increases the quality of fish by 2 levels.
which makes it the only way to catch Iridium without perfect catches.

Hope this makes it clear... Happy Fishing Everyone!

2 quality bobbers will take a fish from silver to iridium, 1 will take gold to iridium both without having to be perfect
