| DESIGN NAME: Wormy PRIMARY FUNCTION: Compact Fishing Systems INSPIRATION: I have broken a lot of fishing rods in my life, so I bought as few as possible. I also hated carrying them. Wanted something very simple and universal that I could use right away or put in my pocket if I had to go. A compact fishing rod has to meet the same challenges as any multi-tool or as a Swiss army knife: to be multifunctional, small, and durable. The goal was to design a system that has several ways of usage with the smallest possible size and minimum weight for the sake of durability. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Its central element is an aluminum, CNC-machined reel seat from which the trigger can be pulled down, making it suitable to receive lower-positioned reels besides upper-positioned ones. There is a threaded shaft hole at the end of the centerpiece into which we can screw in various types of handles. Different spring poles can be fitted in the socket at the other end of the reel seats' axis. The original package can be extended at any time with additional spring poles and grips. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Using it is roughly the same as using conventional rods, except that the body's functioning is ensured by a stainless steel spring. We can use interchangeable springs with different mechanical properties depending on the casting weights and the method we use. The spring pole arcs at the same time serve as a line-leading ring. The short size of the device allows you to cast not only from above but also from the side or bottom. The spring, like a catapult launches the bait. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project startred in November 2015 in Pomaz, Hungary. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The Classic Range uses stainless steel spring rods, CNC machined seawater-resistant 6061 T6 aluminum reel seat and hardwood handles. The result is a truly unbreakable, portable fishing rod that is built to last for decades. The Black Range ONE will soon be launched, with cork composite handles and a carbon composite reel seat unit that is injection-molded for mass production. It is resistant to salt water, alkalis, and UV radiation. This large-scale series creates a significantly more affordable product, which further expands the range of customers and applications. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Classic: Universal spring pole, Material CrNi Stainless steel 304, Aluminum socket, Rod tip material hard chrome plated stainless steel. Handles: Steamed oak, Aluminum. Reel Seat: Salt water resistant, Cnc-machined, Accepts all kinds of reels, Hard anodized, Material 6061 Aluminum T6, Removable trigger. Black ONE: Casting and Spinning Handle: Cork, Reel Seat: Salt water resistant, Injection-molded carbon composite, Accepts all kinds of reels, Removable trigger. The materials used, such as cork, stainless steel and aluminum, are fully recyclable. The polyamide 6, made exclusively from textile waste, also. TAGS: compact fishing rod, compact fishing pole, compact fishing system, pack rod, fishing rod, RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research began with the assumption that there was a fishing rod that could be varied to suit the widest range of methods and locations. Extensive research, conducted with the help of a patent attorney, led to the realization that there was no reel seat with a removable trigger. The design therefore focused on creating such a detachable reel seat that could accommodate spring rods with different mechanical properties at one end, and grips with different ergonomics at the other. CHALLENGE: Previously, no other compact fishing rod could accommodate both bottom and top-mounted reels with flawless operation, both in casting and spinning modes. This makes it uniquely versatile. It can be used in all seasons, from a shore, boat, kayak, or SUP, on ice, and even underwater (snorkel fishing). All this is achieved with the detachable reel seat unit, which is the pillar of the system and the patent. The nearly 9-year, complex examination process of the patenting ended with the granting of the patent in every country applied for. Thus, the concept has become a true invention, protected in the world's largest markets until 2037.

NAME: Wormy Global Ltd. PROFILE: A compact fishing rod has to meet the same challenges as any multi-tool or as a Swiss army knife: to be multifunctional, small, and durable. Nowadays, we can choose from millions of special fishing rods. Most of them are better suited to the fishing style they are designed for than their compact companion. Therefore, never expect a compact device or tool to be the best in any category. However, there are circumstances and locations where it performs better than a conventional device. The goal was to design a rod that has several ways of usage with the smallest possible size and minimum weight for the sake of durability. Modular: All system components can be fitted together with the other components. With this feature, this is the world's single modular fishing rod. Its components can be purchased one by one, or the package can be extended at any time with additional spring poles and grips. Its central element is an aluminum, CNC-machined reel seat from which the trigger can be pulled down, making it suitable to receive lower-positioned reels besides upper-positioned ones. There is a threaded shaft hole at the end of the centerpiece into which we can screw in various types of handles. The cylindrical grips' size is adjustable. In the socket, at the other end of the reel seats' axis, different spring poles can be fitted. Spring-poles: The casting distance - depending on the casting weight - rivals that of 2m long traditional rods. The six different kinds of flexible spring rods correspond to six different fishing rods. The mechanical properties are shaped by three factors: the diameter of the material they're made of, the number of spring-arc bends, and the length. All of them can be inserted into the grip into two slots, enabling the use of both upper and lower positions reel. We designed it in a way that we can enclose the spring arcs with a rubber ring, minimizing the chances of folding the line. The use of the rubber ring is not a prerequisite for effective operation, but it is recommended in some cases – depending on the fishing method, the line, the reel, and the casting weight. In the upper position, you can use the poles without having to compromise - whether it's a spin cast or a bait cast reel. When we're casting it or winding it up, the line will spin around steadily with bigger reels,, too, but in that case, it's advisable to use a smaller one. In the lower position, the best operation can be achieved with "underspin/trigger spin" reels. In the case of these types the line "flows" through a hole with a narrow diameter, while in the case of the fixed-spool types, it's spinning down in larger arcs. If we use a too-big spool reel, the fishing line winding may be uneven because the line between the coil and the spool will move on a too-large scale. The smaller the diameter of the spool, the more uniform the winding of the line will be. Casting distance: The short size of the device allows you to cast not only from above but also from the side or bottom. By moving our wrists, we can significantly increase the impetus of the throw. The spring – like a catapult – launches the bait. |
