Harpoon

general info
''This is the article for the fishing tool harpoon. For the tool used in the Minigame Stealing Creation, see Harpoon (Stealing Creation) A harpoon is a tool used in the Fishing skill to fish in fishing spots with the "Harpoon Fishing Spot" option. Harpoons can be used at Cage/Harpoon fishing spots and Net/Harpoon fishing spots. At Cage/Harpoon fishing spots, players with level 35 or high Fishing may catch tuna for 80 exp while harpooning. When players reach level 50 Fishing, they can also catch swordfish when harpooning at Cage/Harpoon fishing spots. Members who have reached level 76 Fishing can harpoon sharks at Net/Harpoon fishing spots.

When a player is able to catch two types of fish with a harpoon (for example able to catch both tuna and swordfish), players will be catching more of the fish which requires smaller fishing level (in this case tuna) than the fish that requires a higher fishing level to catch (the swordfish).

Harpoons can be obtained at fishing shops for 5 coins, at a spawn in the Fishing Guild, or as a drop from Dagannoths on Waterbirth Island.

Cage/Harpoon fishing spots can be found next to the docks of Karamja, eastern Wilderness, on the shores of Catherby, Rellekka, Jatizso, and by the Fishing Guild docks. Net/Harpoon fishing spots can also be found in Catherby, the Fishing Guild, Burgh de Rott, west of the Elf camp, Jatizso, Ape Atoll, and at Rellekka.

The harpoon can not be wielded and therefore takes up one inventory slot. At level 33 Hunter, you are able to obtain the Barb-tail harpoon as a reward for catching a Barbtailed kebbit. This can be wielded and used as a harpoon to free up an extra inventory slot while fishing.

The harpoon is also the tertiary ingredient in infusing Ibis pouches. Most fishing shops have infinite supplies of harpoons.
