Maybe there will be abilities that use GP.
Nah, they're just adding that glow when you fish so it's easier to see when you have a catch:

While we do not have any plans at the moment to implement something like this, we will be keeping an eye on the requests and look into it.

On a side note, in patch 2.1 we will be making it so fishing rod movement varies depending on the size of the fish you hit.

Greetings,

Previously we mentioned that we had no plans to implement a glow on fishing rods when a fish has been hooked; however, based on everyone's requests up until now we have decided to improve the visibility when hooking a fish and will be adding this glow.
