A fishing rod or a fishing pole is a tool used to catch fish, usually in conjunction with the sport of angling, can also be used in competition casting (sport). A length of fishing line is attached to a long, flexible rod or pole: one end terminates in a hook for catching the fish. A 'fishing pole' is a simple pole or stick for suspending a line (normally fastened to the tip), with a hooked lure or bait. In contrast, 'fishing rod' refers to a more sophisticated casting tool fitted with line guides and a reel for line stowage Casting involves the act of loading a flexible fishing rod, by motions of the hand and arm, to propel the bait, lure or fly toward an intended spot.

Well, this is just plain and simple answer. You attach the bobber to the line. When you have a bite from the fish, you look at the bobber and it will move, so you know to pull in. If you want a scientific explanation, then use the internet.

Well to try and explain it , the line doesn't really do anything the reel does all of the work. But the line gets strung into the reel and pole, and then a hook is fastened onto the end along with weights for desired floating distance. Than when you put the bait on the hook, and the fish takes it, the line lets you reel in the fish.

Fish typically like to eat one of two things: Bugs, or other fish. Fishing lures are shiny so that they attract a fish's attention, and they are often decorated with insect-like details, or are in the shape of a fish. Whenever you go fishing, you have to get a lure that suits the type of fish you are going to catch. For example, one type of fish might like to bite on bug-shaped lures, but others will only bite the fish-shaped ones.
