One could say that a Rod never loses Durability or Snaps when you fail, disconnect etc... just like your normal items you equip your character. This could make a difference for people that like to fish. (Basically trying to find a Rod is equivalent to finding a Heavy Weapon, difference is that a Heavy weapon never breaks or loses EE)
you definitely have a point and I agree, but I just want to add that fishing rods are about 3x as rare as heavy weapons, or about as common as 2 heavy bases
technically heavies are more rare if you're looking for a specific one (like a battleaxe for example, or a warhammer)
