Why is it that if we cannot instantly discover something, we doubt sources.
I was the one who first mailed this list saying the Fishing pole is in the
game. Because it is. There was a high level gnome on Xegony that was
selling spy glasses, which require the fishing pole. He had more than one,
which dispels the idea that he just got one from a gm quest. According to
him, he is in a guild who specifically had been working to find the recipe
for the pole, and had finally been successful. Unfortunately, he was
unwilling to share his recipe. No doubt, the recipe is out there.

are not using. Looking on the 'Database'
(http://www.lockjaw.hamptoncity.com/recipe.html) I see that not many
combinations have been tried with the cork, sprocket, or cloth twine.
Although they dont seem to be the most likely candidates, I could see them
as a possibility.

being makable are bull shit. If someone is making the poles and the eye
glasses, I would have thought we would have heard about more people having
them. We have not heard a peep from anyone since. Perhaps as Luke said, the
pole was given as part of a GM quest, and was not actually tinkered.
