The Bug
While the player is moving, the fishing line doesn't stay connected to the same spot on the rod. It looks like it isn't connected to it (sometimes not even touching - see the
[media])
How to reproduce
Wield a fishing rod
Right-click it to cast a line
Now move around a bit without reeling in
→❌ Notice that the fishing line keeps some distance from the rod

Confirmed for 1.13.1.
Confirm for 1.14.4
I have seen this for a long time and I am pretty sure I can confirm this for 1.14.4. If I get the time, I will confirm for the latest snapshot of 1.15. Mojang, it would be really great if you fixed this rather old problem. It should have been fixed a long time ago and since 1.15 is dedicated to bug fixes...
Occurs in 1.16.5

Blocked from testing in 21w11a, by MC-219849
Can confirm for MC 1.12.1.
