Been fishing with my pole and the durability has gradually gone down instead of up.
The Pole has Luck of the Sea III, Lure III, and Mending I.
Edit: I Found that Mending does indeed work after killing a creature and getting its exp. However, it does not feel like its working while fishing. Fishing is one of the fastest ways to get exp and it seems to do no good at all for the fishing pole.

I do get Mending Repair Exp from mobs however the exp I catch while fishing does not seem to actually go towards the pole I'm fishing with.
On Xbox One and I am having the same issue. When fishing the XP is going to my character and not on the rod. I am fishing with a luck of the sea 3, lure 3, unbreaking 3, and mending 1 rod. I will try bludgeoning chickens in the meantime, but I hope the issue is resolved soon.
Still not working correctly in 1.2.1. I am using a fishing rod with luck of sea 3, unbreaking 3, lure 2 and mending. While fishing the xp is going to my character and not on the fishing. Also, I tried the workaround by having the fishing rod in the main hand while removing smelted/cooked items from the oven. This seems to work only on the first try with the rod. On the second try it did not work anymore. But changing to another place on the hotbar and using this item while removing the items from the oven and then again switching back to the rod and again removing items from the oven while holding the rod did work. But also only once. I could not determine a pattern yet. On the next try I did hold another item in the main hand while removing items from the oven two separate times and then switched back to the fishing rod and again removed items from the oven - mending did work. But the next try again did not work again. As stated above I could not determine a pattern yet.

Are you gaining XP while holding the fishing pole? That's how mending works
