Talk:Fishing Rod

Fishing Rod strategy section?
I'd like to propose creating a separate section on the Fishing Rod page that would better explain how the Fishing Rod can be put to good use while fighting enemies. Some things that may benefit from a more through explanation are: how to effectively use the rod against ghasts and what enemies should be "fished" from a large clump of monsters first.

 * that looks remarkably like the fake one. call me old fashioned, but until we have a definate answer, I'm going to ensure no "rumours" emerge. keeping it factual.
 * god, now I know why mods sometimes look like huge fun-killers. everyone should be a mod one day.--Kizzycocoa 13:34, 18 September 2010 (CDT)
 * sorry I'm a first time wiki editer. Heh, Yeah being a mod sucks. But you can't you check the items.png yourself?--Drwhocares
 * How? Minecraft.net is not connecting, and most everyone else is grey-screening. Only a few got the update with no problems, and we have no idea whether to trust them or not. So we must sit and wait... And wait... And wait...
 * I can confirm this. I just got the update, and I see the fishing rod, but nothing else new.--CrazyMcfobo 16:00, 18 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Yup same confirmation, this item exists. -- 16:45, 18 September 2010 (CDT)
