Phantom Rod

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

This was the second Fishing Weapon introduced into the game.

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 and knocking them back. This has no cooldown (aside from your hit cooldown/attack speed) and works regardless of where the player clicks. This ability doesn't work on the Revenant Horror and Sven Packmaster.

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

Tips

 * The Phantom Rod is a very powerful weapon against dungeon mini-bosses such as Lost Adventurers and Angry Archaeologists. Once hooked, they can be locked in place by left clicking and have significant damage done to them.
 * The rod can be used to easily kill Watcher summons from afar, allowing the player to avoid their attacks.
 * This weapon pairs well with low dungeon builds, as it can turn melee classes into ranged classes. It can be a low-budget option for Berserkers, and can completely negate the use of a Baby Yeti Pet.
 * This weapon is a great weapon to deal damage to Arachne. By hooking her with the Phantom Rod, and spamming left click, damage can be dealt through the cobwebs. This also makes a player a lot safer, as the player can keep distance from her while dealing damage. Currently, it is one of the best method to deal damage to Arachne, with similar damage output with Scorpion Foil when doing boss fights.
 * The Phantom Rod doesn't work nearly as well on the Tarantula Broodfather due to the boss constantly slam-dunking into the player. Additionally, it can prevent it from dealing damage to the player frequently enough, so that the boss rapidly regenerates.

Trivia

 * This weapon can stunlock Thorn, similar to the Bonemerang.
 * Endermen are immune to any attacks from this weapon. As such, it is ineffective against the Voidgloom Seraph and the strong Endermen in the Void Sepulture.
 * This is the only item in the game that can be dungeonized to increase, with , and the  reforge.
 * Fishing rods with paired with a pet which grants  can also be used.
