Wormy
Compact Fishing Systems for Wormy Global Ltd.
The Wormy compact modular fishing rod was invented by Szabolcs Nemeth. He created an almost unbreakable fishing system that is usable for many fishing methods. Its tiny size allows you to take it anywhere. Can be used for casting from shore, fishing from boat, kayak or Sup. It is suitable for ice fishing in winter and snorkel fishing in summer. This is truly year round fishing equipment. Thanks to the removable trigger, it can be equipped with all existing reel types. We can swap out spring rods with different sensitivities. It is extremely durable, so it will serve its owner for a long time.

Unique Properties
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.

Production 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.
Design 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.
Project Duration
The project startred in November 2015 in Pomaz, Hungary.
Operation Flow
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.
Research
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.
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.
