Not a carrabeaner though. I thought of an oil drill?, but not sure it fits every line.Fits pretty well, except for the last stanza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
plasmid
A metal tube quite long and thin
My function seems surreal
Along my body coming in
I'm bringing quite a reel
Just cast me out into the waves
And leave me standing tall
I'll bring in catches that you crave
Unless I'm foiled by squalls
To find the perfect spot, explore
Shun ghosts, avoid the snow
It's best if you can monitor
What's going on below
I'll try to grab you with a hook
And lines that hold you tight
Designed to draw a longing look
Be careful should you bite
