    I've heard a lot of talk about them, but what do fishing tables actually do? I'm curious.

    Also, it is way easier to tell when you actually have a fish, the bobber will get pulled to the ground and stay there.
    Nice tutorial by the way origami.

    Not only is it easier to see, but when you fish in a lake/pond/ocean/stream, you have to time it. If you don't pull the bobber back just as the bite happens, you miss it and the bobber comes back to the surface. With a fishing table, the bobber will stay down after the bite and you can pull back your catch at any time you choose.
