Have you been in a survival situation and would have liked to have a fishing rod? Personally I haven't. But if I needed a micro fishing rod, I would have one. Could you guess what its made of? A popsicle stick. Yes, a popsicle stick.
How you do it is you get one of those giant popsicle sticks and wrap some fishing line around it width-wise in the middle. You only need to do a couple times around then tie it with a bunch of string left over for the fishing line. Put a little bit of tape (any kind, though duct tape or electrical tape will most likely work best) over the wrapped around line to keep it in place. End of the fishing line that will be cast out tie on a hook, attach some sinkers, and a bobber if you have one.
You could also just use a stick that you found in the woods. Just shave off an area with your knife, clean it up, apply your string and tape and voila! You have another fishing rod.
