Phantom Rod

The Phantom Rod is a Fishing Rod Weapon dropped from Phantom Fishers, requiring   level XXI (21) to use.

This was the first Fishing Rod Weapon introduced into the game, the other being the Shredder.

Usage
The Phantom Rod can be used as a fishing rod and as a weapon. Both Fishing and sword enchantments can be applied to it.

The Phantom Rod's ability terrifies mobs caught by the hook, dealing melee damage and knocking them back. This has no cooldown and works regardless of where the player clicks. This ability doesn't work on Revenant Horror's and Sven Packmaster's.

Essence Crafting
This item can be upgraded with Undead Essence. It has no other requirements when converted.

Tips

 * This weapon pairs well with low Effective Health dungeon builds, as it can turn melee classes into ranged classes.
 * This weapon is a great weapon to deal damage to Arachne. You can hook her with Phantom Rod and spam left click to deal massive amounts of damage, ignoring all the cobwebs that she spawned if Arachne was already hooked by a Phantom Rod. This also makes a player a lot safer, as the player can keep distance from her and dealing massive amounts of damage. Currently, it is one of the best method to deal damage to Arachne, with similar damage output with Scorpion Foil when doing bossfight.
 * This weapon is a good starter weapon to deal damage to ghosts. However, the Soul Whip is still better. Use this if you do not have the fishing requirement, or the coins for a Soul Whip.

Trivia

 * This is one of two 'fishing weapons' in the game the other being the Shredder.
 * This weapon can stunlock Thorn, similar to the Bonemerang.
 * This is the only item in the game that can be dungeonized to increase sea creature chance(besides weapons enchanted with Chimera with any pet that gives sea creature chance), with Expertise X and the Salty reforge.
