A paperclip is used when repairing or crafting a fishing rod.
Usage
A paper clip is a small bit of metal that can be used in place of a nail when repairing or crafting a fishing rod. 40 paperclips can be consolidated into a box of paperclips, which is purely for organisational purposes, and provides no strategic advantage.
