Why is the fishing rod so helpful for PvP in old combat?
Posted On: September 26, 2023

I have always played PvP on servers like Hypixel, and for years I've noticed that I always get a fishing rod when I duel other players. I have used it, but I have never seen a difference when I actually use it.


I have tried to research this, but all Google gave me was how to use it, not why it's helpful.


Question from user TimMcYeah at stackexchange.


Answer:

So you can pull enemies closer to you, and so that you can put them up in the air, because your reach comes from your head, so you can hit their feet while they can't hit you. And, if you can, you can start a combo.
