I am looking to join Wailmer to my team.But, no you can't catch it with an old rod
I'm pretty sure that you at least need the good rod. The old rod only captures Magikarp.
Using the Old Rod in Pokemon Ruby (or any Pokemon game for that matter) will get you a Magikarp as that is the only Pokemon an Old Rod can catch.
The Old Rod is unobtainable in Pokemon Black and White.
