Harpy Clawing "Spinning"

Whiplash Factory's Harpy Clawing "Spinning" is the spinning reel version of this range of high-quality and highly versatile rods. The Harpy Clawing series was developed by revising models originally intended for the RAW DEALER DEFIANCE project. Extensive refinement by its designer, Mr. Kunitsugu Niinomi, combined with thorough field testing, resulted in versatile rods with greater responsiveness and power, while maintaining an overall balance of performance.

The spinning version is designed to tackle different environments and species, combining long-distance casting capability, control over a wide range of lures and fish-fighting control. The design features an updated blank and components, with a predominantly black, clean and timeless appearance. The two-piece construction makes transportation easier.

GUIDES
The rod features Fuji SiC guides with T2 titanium frames. The first guide is a small-diameter, high-frame T2-RVSGS, followed by a configuration comprising T2-KLSG-H, T2-KLSG-M, T2-KLSG-L, T2-KBSG and T2-KTSG guides. The tip-top is a Fuji T2-KGST.

REEL SEAT
The Fuji VSS-17 reel seat, finished in matte black, is paired with a TVSS hood and locking nut. This configuration is designed to minimise noticeable transitions when gripping the reel seat and reel foot together.

COUNTERBALANCE WEIGHT
The custom 15 g counterbalance weight with an engraved logo improves the rod’s balance. Although it increases the overall weight, it reduces the feeling of heaviness during use.

HC711RMRF2-S - THE BRANDISTOCK
Based on the R711RR-S THE TRIAL BY FIRE, this model delivers greater overall power, a quicker response and a practical two-piece construction. Its 241 cm length, Medium power and Regular Fast action combine casting distance with lure control. The smooth, progressive action of the blank supports each stage of fishing, while its reserve power helps maintain control when fighting larger-than-expected fish. Recommended lure weight: optimal range 7-25 g; maximum 37 g. Specifically designed for bass fishing, but also suitable for saltwater inshore game. A highly versatile model for both freshwater fishing and saltwater fishing from shore.
