I made this toy fishing rod for my son, who loves fishing. It used a ½" x 48" wooden dowel as its base, with parts assembled using M3 nuts and bolts. The following parts can/should be printed in PLA:

Reel Housing x1

Line Guide x4

Grip_V2 x1

Magnet_Hook x1

The following parts can/should be printed in something stronger like PETG:

Reel_Arm x1

Reel_Sprocket x1

Reel_Handle x1

There is a pic attached showing how the reel assembly snaps together. 

The magnet hook accepts 3 cylindrical magnets, 5mm x 5mm. These should be a press fit, but I added some glue just to be sure they will not fall out.

The trickiest part for me  was drilling the 1/8" holes through the wooden dowel accurately. In hindsight, a design that does not require drilling any holes would be better, maybe version 2 can go that route. 

After assembling, I added a few feet of butcher's twine (any string will work honestly) and tied the magnet to the end. Next step is to find some fish! (that are magnetic of course).
