COMING SOON

New Design for the :HELM
The offshore trolling reel built for sailing yachts.
Perfect for bluewater cruising, guardrail integrated. The trolling reel that becomes part of the boat and the passage
Safe and Space saving

The :HELM mounts securely to your stern pushpit rail on any tube between 22 and 30 mm, covering the vast majority of yachts.

Every unit includes an adaptation bracket that offsets the reel angle by 8° or 16°, letting you match the geometry of your specific pushpit whether the reel is mounted horizontally or vertically.

Ergonomic Furling System

Line retrieval works on the principle of a headsail furler. A quality 8 mm Lirus Hercules rope, pre-spliced into an endless loop, lets you pay in line in an ergonomic motion. 

 

Built powerful and robust, it blends sailing with traditional fishing at sea.

Big Game Lever

The updated :HELM uses a direct lever drag system, the same principle as professional big-game reels, and far more intuitive under load. Positions are marked directly on the reel, you always know your setting at a glance.

On the same side as the drag lever sits a ratcheting clicker system. When engaged, it produces a loud, clear mechanical click the moment line starts running.

Heavy Duty Performance

Crafted to handle offshore fishing, the :HELM is built strong where it matters most. At the heart of the system sits the drag washer a single large-diameter carbon disc. Carbon runs cooler and smoother, delivers consistent resistance across the full fight.

Designed for life aboard, it balances strength with simplicity so you can focus on the catch.

OPTIONAL: Cover and Mono Line

If you purchase a full kit it ships with 1.5 mm diameter monofilament with a breaking strength of up to 100kg which matches the drag system and a cover made of marine grade Sunbrella to protect the fishing line from exposure to UV rays.

We increased line capactiy to approximately 350 metres, that gives you full trolling depth with a substantial reserve for long passages.
