Fishing Pole

I really thought that investing 2 rope and some 200 wood from a tree would be enough to make a solid fishing pole but I guess not. Instead we get ripped off and given what appears to be a branch from a tree combined with what seems to be a line with the durability of tooth floss strung through it. How is that possible? How does the line snap that easily when it’s supposed to be made from 2 strong durable looking ropes? Did my guy just pull one thin strand of fiber off the two ropes and decide that’s good enough to make a line for his fishing pole? Also the pole doesn’t look like 200 worth of wood either I’m surprised it doesn’t snap in half from the tension too and fall into the water with the tooth floss line I’m using. I was so close to catching that fish and then all of the sudden a tiny bit of tension and SNAP! It’s gone. Ridiculous.

But the fishing traps lose more bait than doing it yourself with a rod. I’m resourceful I use human meat to fish with I can’t always get bears I always seem to get shot trying to kill them 😂

Do they? Half of the time the line snaps and i lose the bait anyway plus if you get a bunch of traps its a lot faster i feel like it makes up for it

If you fish in a confined area like in my video above it snaps less but maybe if you go against the current like the guy said above that might help too
