How to unlock Fishing Rod?

[Gespard]

Has anyone unlocked the recipe for the fishing rod yet? If so, how and what mats does it take? Thanks

You need Fishing first of all which is unlocked by Fishing. It's place in the Crafting options should be highlighted after you've got Fishing. It's like one bough, two string, and a log. Once you've got the fishing pole assembled you'll need to attach a bone hook, a string, and some bait to it by leftclicking on those things and then rightclicking on the pole with them. To actually fish with it you need to go to Adventuring and select fishing as an action. Move it to your hotkey bar.

What the fuck is linen cloth doing in a fishing rod

There goes 3 days to grow the seeds for the linen. And then 20 string for a loom to make the fibers into a linen cloth

Increasing the general tech level of the item.

Nice wrapping on the handle, maybe?

A nice hanky to wipe up your tears?

Linen and leather quality will raise substantially faster than most other materials, so we'll get fishing poles at a decent quality.
