Iron Claw PRO Guide S 275-M – 2.75 m of Power for Medium Lure Fishing
The Iron Claw PRO Guide S 275-M is 2.75 m long and designed for lure weights from 12 to 44 g. The blank is made from 30T carbon fibre with a full-length X-wrap.
It comes with a TORAYCA carbon reel seat and Fuji K-Type guides. The slightly triangular carbon fibre handle has a rubber coating. The two-piece rod weighs around 194 g and has a transport length of about 143 cm.
12–44 g Casting Weight – Versatile for a Wide Range of Lures
The casting weight of 12 to 44 g describes the lure weight range the manufacturer intends for the rod. That puts the PRO Guide S 275-M in the medium range of modern spinning rods.
Depending on how you rig them, crankbaits, soft lures, jig heads, spoons or other lures can fall within this weight range. What always counts is the total weight of the rig, not just the weight of the lure itself.
Zander, Pike & Big Perch – What the 2.75 m Spinning Rod Is Made For
A 2.75 m spinning rod with a medium casting weight comes into its own when you need casting distance and lure control. That’s exactly why the PRO Guide S 275-M is a particularly good match for zander, pike and bigger perch with suitably matched lures.
Which target species really suit the set-up also depends on the water, lure size, line, leader and fishing style. That makes the 12–44 g class more versatile than a specialist rod built for just one species.

Iron Claw PRO 3000S – the Matching 3000-Size Reel for the Combo
The Iron Claw PRO 3000S is a fixed-spool reel from the PRO series. It has 5+1 ball bearings, a 5.2:1 gear ratio, an aluminium spool and a graphite body.
The arbor of the aluminium spool has a roughened or knurled surface designed to take braid. On top of that, there’s a CNC aluminium handle arm and a T-shaped knob in grippy rubber.
A 3000-Size Reel for Zander & Pike – Is It the Right Size?
A 3000-size fixed-spool reel is often the choice when you want a good balance between line capacity, reel weight and stability. Paired with a 2.75 m spinning rod in the 12–44 g range, it makes a classic set-up for medium predator fishing.
Whether the size suits your fishing depends on target species, lure weight, line and venue. For very light perch fishing, a smaller reel can make more sense; for much heavier pike set-ups, a bigger reel can have its advantages.
PRO Guide S 275-M + PRO 3000S – Why the Combo Works So Well
For medium lure fishing, the two really work well together: the PRO Guide S 275-M covers a versatile lure range of 12–44 g, while the PRO 3000S, with its matching size and line capacity, is built for exactly the same kind of fishing.
Iron Claw matches its PRO reels to its own PRO rod series. When it comes to fine-tuning, though, your line, lure weights, target species and preferred fishing method are what really decide it.

Iron Claw Spinning Combo from the Bank – Where the 2.75 m Rod Comes into Its Own
When you’re lure fishing from the bank, the 2.75 m rod is a real plus. The extra length helps with casting distance and line control over marginal shelves, rocks or vegetation.
The PRO 3000S rounds off the set-up with a classic reel size for medium predator fishing. For small streams, very tight bank spots or ultralight lures, on the other hand, a shorter and lighter combo would often be more practical.
