Hi!
What's happening here is that the particles (and all simulation data) for the rope get removed from the solver, and the object's mesh gets frozen in the latest shape it had while particles were alive. This is fine for your use case, I think.
Correct: ResetParticles() sets the position of particles to those in the blueprint, but until the solver has had a chance to execute its LateUpdate() the mesh won't reflect any changes to particles made during the current frame. You need to wait at least one frame for the rope mesh to reflect the new particle positions.
kind regards,

The fishing rod gets frozen, still drawn just like I want, but the shape of the rope is still the same as before this procedure, and not like in the blueprint.
