How to apply them
Enchant at an enchanting table surrounded by 15 bookshelves for the level-30 tier, then use an anvil to combine enchanted books for any specific or treasure enchantments. Combine books together first, then onto the fishing rod, to keep the anvil's prior-work penalty low. Add Mending so the fishing rod repairs itself as you earn XP.
