You probably have something in the space which prohibits installing them.

You make fish trap out of gallon jugs and reload it.  
Then you need to find an area with fish. You set up the trap and in x hours a fish corpse spawns at the trap. Or the trap wastes all charges and nothing spawns.

So in other words the bait is useless and I should stick with my unbaited bent nail on a string for all my fishing needs.

Is there any way to debug a piece of clothing to be pre fitted to my character?  
I’m planning on RPing myself in the cataclysm and I want to spawn with a leather jacket and a sheath that fit me since I have these RL and would probably take them if some apocaliptic even happened.
