Victoria gave free fishing rods to school kids to try and convert them to fishing. Did it work? - eviltoast

The state government distributed thousands of free fishing rods to primary school kids in an attempt to engage young Victorians in fishing, and while some kids love their rods, others have ended up on Facebook marketplace. So, did the program work?

    @MHLoppy If you have at least one cat (more fun with multiple) and a reasonably long hallway or quite large room:

    1. Throw away any fish hooks (important).
    2. Tie a cat toy to the end of the line.
    3. Summon your cat(s) and cast away!

    The object is to avoid letting anybody latch on to the bait. It’s a much more fast-paced sport than regular fishing. Endless fun.

      No cats or fishing lines unfortunately! I wasn’t part of the free fishing rod program 😅
