Using fishing rods on villagers?

October 19, 2022

I built a railroad from my home to a village a few hundred blocks away (it's quite impressive, I'm proud of it) to make trading with villagers easy.

Today I had the idea of kidnapping a nitwit and making him a farmer at my house. I was wondering if fishing rods can be used to get him in the minecart. If so, how would it be done?
