What's the Deal with Repairing Fishing Rods?

I’ve noticed you can repair fishing rods in the game, but I’m not really sure why that is or what benefits it brings. I feel like it’s a bit strange! If anyone else has some insights on any differences after repairing, could you share your thoughts?

I swear repairing my rod made fishing easier for me. I caught an axolotl within an hour after the repair. It might just be a placebo effect, but I really feel like fish escape slower now!

CraftyAngler -

I crafted a rod with some minor mods I picked up. I was expecting some cool advantages, but it didn’t change my fishing luck at all. Those fish just keep getting away from me!

MrTestTekFan -

Correction, I actually understand the mods better now. MrTestTek made a video that clarified things!

SkepticalReparer -

Honestly, I don’t see any benefits to repairing fishing rods. It feels like a waste of resources to me.

ConspiracyTheorist -

That’s just what the Liberals at Foundation want you to think!

PolishPaddle -

If you mod it with a Polished Legendary upgrade and then repair, you can use it to slap around enemies like EN06. Pretty funny!

QuickFishHandler -

Yeah, it’ll definitely do something, that’s for sure!

VATSSlapper -

It seems like the rods are just coded as weapons. If you stop fishing and go into VATS, you can actually use it to hit stuff, which could be why repairs are allowed.

RepairedRodMaster -

I heard that if you repair your rod 76 times, it actually turns into a lightsaber made of axolotls. Crazy, right?

WackyDevFollower -

With how the devs are going about things lately, this wouldn’t surprise me at all!
