Fishing Rod

Fishing rods are tools that are mainly used for obtaining fish.

Crafting
A fishing rod can be crafted from three sticks and two pieces of string in a fishing rod position. This makes fishing rods a renewable resource.

Fishing
Enchanted fishing rods can be obtained as a "treasure" item from fishing, and unenchanted ones as a "junk" item.

Trading
Fishermen villagers sell one enchanted fishing rod for 7–8 emeralds as their second tier trade. The enchantments will be the same as might be obtained from an enchantment table at levels 5–19.

Fishing
The fishing rod's main use is for fishing. Catching an item costs 1 durability, reeling in while the hook is on the ground costs 2 durability, and reeling in while in water does not reduce durability.

Hooking mobs and other entities
The fishing rod can be used to hook mobs and some entities, but not players. The fishing rod can then be reeled in, which drags them towards the player at a fast rate. This deals no damage. Reeling in while hooked to a mob or entity will cost 5 points of durability.

The fishing rod can hook items, and reeling in an item will cost 3 points of durability.

Besides mobs, the entities that can be hooked and reeled in are boats, minecarts of any type, armor stands, shulker bullets, ghast fireballs or shot fire charges, primed TNT, and any falling block such as sand, gravel, dragon eggs or anvils.

Some entities can be hooked, but cannot be reeled in: mobs riding / being ridden by other mobs, paintings, item frames, lead knots or end crystals. Shulkers also can be hooked but not reeled in. It still costs durability to the rod if reeling in is attempted.

The rest of the entities cannot be hooked at all: thrown eggs, snowballs, eyes of ender, ender pearls, potions or bottles o' enchanting, dragon fireballs, wither skulls, fireworks rockets or arrows in flight, area effect clouds, items or xp orbs.

Use on a villager will lower the player's popularity and cause any naturally-spawned iron golem nearby to attack.

In Pocket Edition, hooking an entity mounted on another entity will break the connection between the rider and its ride.

Other usage
The hook can also be used to activate wooden pressure plates or weighted pressure plates.

 * Lure
