Fishing Rod

Fishing Rods are tools that were added in Update 0.11.0. They are used in the process of fishing.

Uses
Fishing rods can be used to fish, and also to hook animals and players closer. It counts as an attack, even though it does not deal damage, so mobs will react as if they were attacked. This is useful for pulling mobs (or players) into traps or getting them close enough to hit.

Crafting

 * 3 Sticks + 2 String = 1 Fishing Rod

To fish, the player must throw flick the fishing rod into a body of water, and when the bobber bobs down, the player must reel in the line and a fish may be caught. When fishing, fishing rods can also hook up 'junk' (useless items) or 'treasure' (useful items) instead of fish.
