A '''fishing rod''' is a [[tool]] that casts a bobber used to [[Fishing|fish]] in [[water]] or to hook and pull [[Mob|mobs]], [[Item (entity)|items]] and some [[Entity|entities]] towards the user.

}}

=== Fishing ===

Enchanted fishing rods can be obtained as "treasure" [[item]]s from [[fishing]], and unenchanted ones as "junk" items.

=== Trading ===

Journeyman-level [[fisherman]] [[villager]]s sell enchanted fishing rods for 6 [[emerald]]s.
The [[enchantment]]s are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-fishing-rod}} 
{{notelist}}

=== Carrot/warped fungus on a stick ===

If a [[carrot on a stick]] or a [[warped fungus on a stick]] is used to the point of zero durability, it becomes a fishing rod again.

=== Mob loot ===

{{IN|java}}, the [[drowned]] mob has a 3.75% chance of spawning with a fishing rod equipped.
{{IN|bedrock}}, naturally-spawned drowned has 0.85% chance to spawn with fishing rod, while converted drowned has 1% chance to spawn with it.
If killed, they have an 8.5% chance of dropping this fishing rod. That chance increases by 1% for each level of Looting applied to a weapon (up to 11.5% chance). The dropped item is damaged and never enchanted.

== Usage ==

=== Fishing ===
{{main|Fishing}}

Fishing rods can be cast into water. After a short period of time, a stream of bubble particles approaches the fishing rod. If the rod is reeled in once the particles "bite" the bobber, the player obtains a fish, junk, or possibly a treasure item. If the fishing rod was in the player's hand and is no longer, the fishing bobber [[Entity|entity]] despawns, unless the fishing rod to the off-hand or it's been swapped with another fishing rod{{Cn|Cn=Research on the way fishing rods behave when you swap rod or have two equipped (one in the main and one in the off hand) needs to be done}}.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Fishing Rod, Damaged Fishing Rod}}

=== Hooking mobs and other entities ===
{{see also|Fishing#Fishing rod durability}}

The fishing rod can be used to hook [[mobs]], [[Item (entity)|items]]{{only|java}} and some [[entities]], and even [[player]]s. The fishing rod can then be reeled in, dragging the hooked object toward the player without dealing damage. Reeling in a [[mob]] or entity costs 5 points of durability, and reeling in an item costs 3 points. Reeling a mob pulls it toward the player with a speed of {{frac|1|10}} the distance between mob and player.

Besides mobs and items, entities that can be reeled in include: 
* {{ItemLink|id=oak boat|Boat}}s
* {{ItemLink|id=oak boat with chest|Boat with Chest}}s
* {{ItemSprite|Minecart}} [[Minecart]]s of any type
* {{ItemLink|Armor Stand}}s
* {{EntityLink|Shulker Bullet}}s
* {{EntityLink|Fireball}}s
* {{EntityLink|Small fireball}}s
* {{EntitySprite|TNT}} Primed [[TNT]]
* Any [[falling block]] such as {{EntityLink|Sand}}, {{EntityLink|Gravel}}, {{EntityLink|Dragon Egg}}s, {{EntityLink|Concrete Powder}}s, {{EntityLink|Scaffolding}},  [[Snow]] on [[Bedrock Edition]] or {{EntityLink|Anvil}}s

Some entities can be hooked, but cannot be reeled in: 
* {{EntitySprite|Horse}} Mobs riding/being ridden by other mobs (in Bedrock Edition, the hooked mob dismounts)
* {{EntityLink|Painting}}s
* {{EntityLink|Item Frame}}s
* {{EntityLink|id=leash-knot|Lead}} knots
* {{EntityLink|End Crystal}}s
* {{EntityLink|Shulker}}s

Attempting to reel in said entities still costs durability to the rod.

The rest of the entities cannot be hooked at all: 

* {{EntitySprite|egg}} Thrown [[egg]]s
* {{EntitySprite|snowball}} Thrown [[snowball]]s
* {{EntitySprite|ender-pearl}} Thrown [[ender pearl]]s
* {{EntitySprite|eye-of-ender}} Thrown [[eyes of ender]]
* {{ItemSprite|splash-potion}} Thrown [[potion]]s
* {{ItemSprite|bottle-o'-enchanting|附魔之瓶}} Thrown [[bottles o' enchanting]]
* {{EntitySprite|dragon-fireball}} [[Dragon fireball]]s
* {{EntitySprite|Wither Skull}} [[Wither#Wither Skull|Wither skull]]s
* {{ItemSprite|firework-rocket}} [[Firework rocket]]s in flight
* {{EntitySprite|arrow}} [[Arrow]]s in flight
* {{EffectSprite|particle-speed}} [[Lingering Potion#Area effect cloud|Area effect cloud]]
* {{EntityLink|id=experience-orb|Experience|XP orbs}}

Using it on a [[villager]] lowers the player's popularity and causes any naturally-spawned [[iron golem]]s nearby to attack.

=== Fuel ===

A fishing rod can be used as fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per fishing rod.

=== Other usage ===

The hook can also be used to activate wooden [[pressure plate]]s or [[weighted pressure plate]]s.

=== Enchantments ===

A fishing rod can receive the following enchantments:
{| class="wikitable col-2-center"
|+
!Name
!Max Level
![[Enchanting|Method]]
|-
|[[Lure]]<ref group="note">Lure levels above V don't work.</ref>

|[[Mending]]
|I
|{{Inventory slot|Anvil}}
|-
|[[Curse of Vanishing]]
|I
|{{Inventory slot|Anvil}}
|}
{{Notelist|note}}

A fishing rod with the [[Mending]] enchantment has infinite durability if used for fishing only. The rod incrementally repairs itself using the experience gained each time a player reels in a fish, even if starting from nearly 0% durability. Players wearing damaged [[Mending]] armor have a lower average rate of repair, because the mending mechanic can ignore damage to the rod while repairing armor instead. [[Unbreaking]] III can nearly guarantee that the rod does not break, unless it's already at low durability.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
*The maximum distance the [[player]] can get between the bobber and themselves is 33 blocks.
*[[Skeleton]]s can be pulled into their own [[arrow]]s.
*When casting the rod into a [[portal]], the bobber may stick to it like a normal [[block]], go through and travel in [[the Nether]], or stop on the next block behind the portal.
*If the player stands directly in front of a column and casts the line onto a block above the player, the line falls downward.
*If the bobber hits a [[painting]], the painting breaks.
*The player can get into [[bed]] after casting a line, and the line remains in the water until the player wakes up and reels it in.
