The Claw is a tool available to all players in Crimson Desert that offers an alternative control method to reel in fish.
The Claw
Item Stats
A fishing rod engineered with sophisticated and special technology. An internal clockwork mechanism detects the user’s motion and reels in the line when the user holds the fishing rod and keeps a firm grip, making it a highly efficient tool for any catch.
How to Obtain
You can steal The Claw from fishermen that use them. There’s often one found at Bounty’s Net, east of Vellua, in southern Hernand, but you can find them elsewhere.


You just have to get them spooked by using attacks or flying in and landing near them, so they drop what they’re holding. Make sure you have your Thief’s Mask equipped and are prepared to pick it up as soon as they drop it.
You also receive The Claw for reaching 100 Trust with Patrigio, the guy with the Secret Shop. Patrigio is a wandering peddler that can appear along main paths at night. He seems to frequent Pailune and Hernand.


Additional Info
The Claw has a slightly misleading in-game description. It doesn’t let you bypass the fishing minigame altogether, but it offers an alternate control method to reel in fish. Rather than needing to rotate the right control stick or spin the scroll wheel, you can just hold down the button to reel (after the fish stops splashing).
The consensus seems to be that The Claw is more useful than the Pororin Fishing Rod, particularly when trying to catch those extra-large fish that never seem to get tired.
