Phantom Rod

The Phantom Rod is a Fishing Rod Weapon dropped from Phantom Fishers.

This was the first Fishing Rod Weapon introduced into the game, the other being the Shredder. This means it can be used as a fishing rod and as a weapon with fishing and sword enchantments being able to be applied. The Phantom Rods item ability, when left clicked, 'terrifies' mobs damaging them and causing them to run away if the mob is hooked. This allows players to constantly knock mobs back effectively stun-locking them.

Tips

 * This weapon pairs well with low Effective Health dungeon builds, as it can turn melee classes into ranged classes.
 * This weapon can be converted into a dungeon item and stared with undead essences, but will require catacombs 20 to use.

Trivia

 * The Phantom Rod is one of the 2 new weapons added in the 0.9.10 update, with the other weapon being the "Soul Whip".
 * This is one of two 'fishing weapons' in the game the other being the Shredder.
