I already have a spreadsheet online, and the spreadsheet in excel format.
It can be reached at
http://www.lockjaw.hamptoncity.com/recipe.html
You may have to shift click to get the excel files to download properly,
they are available in text tab deliminated format and in excel 95 format.
The problem with there not being a fishing pole in the recipie is that you
have to contend with several more factors including string, and what
components might make up the reel. But its possible...
