Fishing Weapons

[edit | edit source]

Fishing Weapons was a class of weapons, featuring only Phantom Rod Phantom Rod and Shredder Shredder, both of which were removed in 0.22, and with them the entire class.

They could have been enchanted with both Sword and Fishing Rod Enchantments.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • Despite not having the same properties as a fishing rod, the Nearly Coherent doR gnihsiF Nearly Coherent doR gnihsiF has "fishing rod" backwards in its name.
  • In the Spooky Fishing update, a new type of fishing rod was introduced. Fishing Weapons were fishing rods that are meant for combat as well as fishing, and can have sword Enchantments in addition to fishing rod Enchantments. There were two Fishing Weapons: the Shredder Shredder and the Phantom Rod Phantom Rod.
    • Even though they have the appearance of fishing rods, the Zombie Commander Whip Zombie Commander Whip and the Soul Whip Soul Whip are not Fishing Weapons, and cannot have fishing rod Enchantments.
    • Fishing Weapons have since been removed alongside most Fishing Rods in The Backwater Bayou update.
