The Story
A crazy idea was created a few years ago around a pasta screw. For several years I had experimented with casting my own fish lure, mainly discontinued models that could no longer be bought. It was not something I had experience with previously, so it was based on the "trial-and-error" concept. I cast molds and made lures in tin, and gradually built up an expertise in manually casting fishing lures. When I got the idea for the Helix Spinner, inspired by the pasta screw, it was necessary to learn 3D drawing, as the casting process was much more complicated. Via 3D printing, I had prototypes made in plastic and metal, and I could now test the pasta screw in operation. It was with great excitement if several years of work had borne fruit - it did. With the Helix Spinner I have so far caught sea trout, pollock, hornfish, trout, various carp fish and cod, so the basic idea of making an all-round fishing lure has been a complete successfully.
The pasta screw idea developed further into the new Helix platform, where a screw line is twisted into the shape of a spring or screw. The purpose is to make the lure to rotate around the central axis just like a spinner and few "inline" lures, which we see on the market today. The result has been two different products with respectively two and three variant sizes. These can be seen in the "Shop".
The new "Helix Spinners" platform has been developed to contain unique products that should be able to be used as "all round" and cover widely in respect to the fisherman's needs, type of fishing and fishing method. There is no compromises on functionality with this "all-on-one". You can design the rigging of the lure yourself, where this rotates around the fishing line, just like a spinner. Type of hook and size, pearls, colors, flies other accessories can be chosen as needed. You can also choose to use the lure much more simple like a classic spinner, which rotates around a unique and innovative removable spinner needle. As the design is unique, design protection has been applied to the product.
"Helix Spinners" can be bought in several sizes and weights, and can therefore be used in streams, rivers and lakes as well as in put & take, in fjords and on the coast.
The development does not stop here. I am currently working on a further development of the Helix platform with more and new innovative products that will be introduced continuously in the future.
