Hello! I'm new here. I've never modded in Terraria before so I came here asking for help.

For my first mod, I am trying to make a group of accessories that increase your amount of fishing lines (from +1 to +10) when equipped. Using the ExampleMod I have created the base accessories successfully (look, recipes, etc) and they appear ingame just fine, but I have no idea how to actually make them throw more lines while using a fishing pole. Any help would be appreciated!
