The bug
A cast fishing line is rendered much further from the fishing rod, while in first person view, than it was in previous versions. In 21w08b, a player casting a fishing line could expect to see it very close to the fishing rod item in their hand, regardless of the distance between the player and the fishing hook:
[media]In 21w10a, however, the distance between the fishing line and the fishing rod is much greater. This is much more noticeable when the fishing line is longer:

Relates toΒ MC-175958.
I can once again reproduce this issue in 21w14a. It was blocked by MC-219849 in 21w11a and 21w13a.

[media]This is how it looks for me in 21w14a, so this is a CNR for me.

This bug has been a bug for a long time and has been fixed in snapshot 21w03a (I think) this bug is back after the fishing rod rope bug disappeared fixed in snapshot 21w14a
@unknown, that's interesting! I can consistently reproduce with 21w14a. Maybe it's only an issue for certain hardware? Here's a screenshot of what I experience with my F3 debug screen enabled.

It also depends on the FOV. The higher the FOV, the longer the distance gets between the line and the rod.
Can confirm in 21w15a.
The issue with FOV is MC-6579 and happens consistently β this one appears to be hardware related.
I can still reproduce this issue in 21w16a.
[media]Fix versions are not removed in general. There was an attempt made, which did not work fully, but for documentation purposes, the fix version stays.
Can confirm.
