Fifty years ago, I spent countless hours in my pre-teen years using a willow branch to fish with a green sponge spider, and had a great time doing so, caught alot of fish. I still enjoy spending countless hours fly fishing with a tenkara rod, still catch my fair share of fish.

Of course, I also used to enjoy riding my bike with baseball cards in my spokes, now I enjoy riding a Harley.

Is there a subliminal connection, I don't know.
