With which to direct cast delivering line? (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
fishing rod
'with which to direct cast' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'line?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'line?' could be 'fishing' (fishing line is a kind of line) and 'fishing' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'rod' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'delivering' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fishing rod that I've seen before include "Angler's pole" , "Angler's equipment" .)
