Szabolcs Nemeth's Wormy compact fishing system, developed in Pomaz, Hungary, has been honored with the Golden A' Design Award 2025 for its innovative, ultra-portable, and nearly unbreakable design, offering anglers a versatile, year-round solution for all fishing environments.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wormy, the brainchild of Hungarian designer Szabolcs Nemeth, is redefining the fishing experience with its compact, modular, and highly durable construction. Inspired by years of frustration with fragile, cumbersome fishing rods, Nemeth set out to create a universal solution that could fit in a pocket yet perform across a wide range of fishing methods. The result is a patented system centered around a CNC-machined aluminum reel seat with a removable trigger, allowing for seamless adaptation to both upper and lower-positioned reels. Interchangeable spring rods and handles further enhance its versatility, making Wormy suitable for casting, spinning, ice fishing, and even snorkel fishing.
The Wormy system is available in two main ranges: the Classic, which features stainless steel spring rods, seawater-resistant 6061 T6 aluminum, and hardwood handles for unmatched longevity; and the upcoming Black Range ONE, which utilizes cork composite handles and injection-molded carbon composite reel seats for mass-market accessibility. Both ranges are designed to withstand harsh environments, including saltwater, alkalis, and UV exposure, ensuring that the rod remains reliable in any season or location. The modular design allows users to expand their kit with additional spring poles and grips, providing tailored performance for every angling scenario.
Wormy's unique engineering addresses challenges that have long plagued compact fishing rods. Its patented reel seat accommodates all reel types and supports both top and bottom mounting, a first in the industry. The spring pole design doubles as a line-leading ring, enabling a variety of casting techniques from any angle. The materials used-including recyclable stainless steel, aluminum, cork, and upcycled polyamide-reflect a commitment to sustainability. After a rigorous nine-year patent process, Wormy is now protected in major global markets, cementing its status as a true invention and a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
