You can throw people up to 6 blocks forward by attaching a fishing rod to them and reeling it in in 1.9
I think don't will be added because you have the bows and it's unnecessary, the game will be no better.
I personally don't think they should be added simply because there are bows for a reason. Even if the fishing rods are different, it could change the gameplay in an unfavorable way or a favorable one. It varies, but in my opinion they should not be added, sorry.
Shields exist in eggwars rods go through shields.I think players would just get a punch bow though.
Didn't fishing rods die in 1.10? I read that you can't pull in players anymore on the mc wikiShields exist in eggwars rods go through shields.
Ok I play a lot of 1.9 pvp experimenting with different items. I used fishing rods for a while and fell in love with them. they prevent bow spamming as you can reel the target within range of your sword and prevent people from running away (which is rampant in 1.9 pvp) I think rods should be fixed and added to every pvp gamemode as they offer another strategy to deal with certain situations. Sadly rods dont work on cubecraft and they are bugged in minecraft itself being unreliable and useless in the offhand. Once these issues are fixed i think people will get new respect for rods.
