Searched for "fishing", "rod", "reel" etc. and couldn't find a report of this yet, so opened a new ticket.
Fishing rods as of the snapshot update today refuse to reel in when the bobber is "bitten". They have no issue reeling in when the bobber is floating as normal.
Has been tested on multiple single player worlds, with no success. Fishing is currently impossible as a result.
Thank you for your report!
