Sparing the Rod

Some fishers want to blame the pole when they go home empty-handed, but that's about the poorest excuse I ever heard. I know better than that. The pole is important, yes, and a superior one can be engineered in any settlement with the proper station upgrades, but it's not everything. True fishing comes from the heart. I was born with a fishing rod in my hands, and while I've preferred some over others, the size and rarity of fish that I catch come more from a successfully-aimed cast than an expensively-crafted pole. The crafted poles will last you longer and get you higher quality fish though, I'll give you that.
