Crafting is only possible with an undamaged fishing rod - one that is worn cannot be used to make a carrot on a stick.
Uses
To use a carrot on a stick, the player must first saddle a pig. The pig will then move in the direction that the carrot on a stick points to. It is not possible to have the pig swim into water. Hitting the pig will make it move randomly as if it were hurt. Also, if the player holds a carrot on a stick, all pigs (saddled or not) will follow the player. The player cannot ride pigs through portals. The pigs will slowly eat the carrot, eventually leaving you with a fishing rod. You'll have to re-craft the carrot on a stick before controlling the pig again.
To make the pig run faster, the player can right click while holding the Carrot on a Stick. This is called "boosting." The boost takes 5 seconds to warm up and lasts 40 seconds. Each boost costs 25% of the Carrot on a Stick's durability. If the Carrot on a Stick has less than 25% of durability, the boost cannot be used. After a boost is used, the player may switch to another item while retaining the boost. This allows the player to charge mobs with a sword or strafe while charging a bow, for example.
