Cyclone with Fishing Rod

I am trying to build a CoC surfcaster in Phercia League, but my trigger skill, cyclone does not seem to work with a fishing rod. Cyclone's text says it can be used with any melee weapon and fishing rods are classed under 2 handed melee, so why does it not allow me to use cyclone?

Unfortunately, fishing rods are kind of in a category of their own. There's only a tiny handful of skills that actually work with them and sadly cyclone isn't one of them.
I make dumb builds, therefore I am.
GGG, why? All I want to do is spin around and whip people in the face with my fishing rod. Why did they not create a seperate class specifically for fishing rods that they can classify gems under instead of 2 handed melee weapon with a case to case basis on which abilities work? I know this is a meme item and wont get much use outside of this event but I wanted to spin to win! Sharknado mtx was built for fishing rod cyclone.
