Offshore Fishing Reel for Sailing Yachts
 
On offshore passages, crews manage navigation, sail trim, weather and watch-keeping — fishing happens alongside all of those tasks, not instead of them. The :HELM is built around that reality: a permanently mounted, guardrail-integrated reel that fishes while you sail. No rod. No standing at the stern. No course change required. Designed and assembled in Sweden. Built for bluewater.

350 m of 1.5 mm EU monofilament pre-spooled, a 65 mm ball-bearing swivel rated to 68 kg with black nickel coating, and a fitted Sunbrella cover.
