A cam?! That is insane! This is just a fishing pole! It is not going to cost
that much! Even if they never break no one would pay the 30 plat for the
fishing pole that we'd have to sell it for to make a profit. Anything
combination over 5 plat is an idiotic price to spend making a fishing pole.
And if it really does cost more than 5 plat to make, then it's not worth it
in the slightest amount! I already doubt that people are going to pay the
price we ask for the next to worthless toy that we call a spyglass! Any high
priced components, such as gears now need to be left out, they aren't, or
better not be part of the fishing pole.
