Rice Elephant Design | Water Drop Wheel

1. design concept

This water drop wheel is designed to combine power, movement and natural elements to create a fishing tackle accessory with a unique look and functionality. Through the ingenious fusion of different images, the overall shape conveys a kind of courageous, energetic and flexible visual feeling, which makes it stand out among many water drop wheel products. It not only becomes a practical tool for fishing enthusiasts, but also a unique design work.

Description of 2. design inspiration

Front bow and arrow shape

• Source of inspiration: The bow and arrow has been a symbol of strength, speed and determination throughout human history. When we pull the bowstring, the arrow is like a bird off the string, rushing towards the target, containing an unstoppable momentum.

• Applied to design: The front of the water drop wheel is designed to be like a bow and arrow forward, giving the product a sense of movement and aggression. Visually, it seems to have a kind of tension that can't wait to play a role in the fishing process and break through the resistance of the water to assist the angler in harvesting the prey. This kind of shape not only makes the drop wheel appear full of power in static display, but also gives users a psychological hint that it seems to be holding a "sharp weapon" and can have more control and confidence in fishing, which is in line with the kind of boldness and quickness required for precise throwing and fast line-taking operations in fishing activities.

Rocker side gear rolling shape

• Source of inspiration: As a vital element in the field of mechanical transmission, gears are engaged with each other and continuously rolling, showing precise, orderly and continuous power transmission characteristics. The rotation of each tooth drives the entire mechanical structure to work together, symbolizing stable, efficient and continuous power output.

• Applied to the design: on the side of the rocker to learn from the shape of the gear rolling, on the one hand, it adds the charm of mechanical aesthetics to the water drop wheel, highlighting the precision and reliability of its internal structure, so that users can intuitively feel that this is a fishing tackle that has been carefully built and can stably function. On the other hand, this shape also implies that when the user shakes the rocker to rewind and release the line, just like the perfect cooperation between the gears, the operation will be smooth and unimpeded, the power can be accurately transmitted, and each rotation can effectively control the rewind and release of the fishing line, just like the gear drives the entire mechanical operation, providing reliable and continuous assistance for fishing activities.

Drop shape on the other side

• Source of inspiration: Water droplets, as a common and beautiful element in nature, are round and soft, showing a smart and natural posture when falling from the air or rolling on the surface of an object. The form of water droplets represents purity, fluency and harmonious coexistence with nature, often giving people a sense of tranquility and elegance.

Apply to design: the other side of the water drop wheel is designed into a water drop shape. One is to neutralize the tough and mechanical feeling brought by the front bow and arrow shape and the rocker side gear shape, so that the whole product can be rigid and flexible in appearance and achieve visual balance and harmony. The second is to integrate natural elements into it, emphasizing the close connection between fishing and nature. In the process of using the water drop wheel, you can feel the nature and comfort like water drops into rivers, lakes and seas, adding the humanistic feelings and artistic atmosphere of the product, so that users are not only engaged in an outdoor sport when fishing, It is also a dialogue and interaction with nature through this well-designed fishing tackle.

In general, this water drop wheel combines the three distinctive sources of inspiration of bows and arrows, gears, and water drops, and perfectly combines the three elements of power, precision, and nature, hoping to bring unique use to fishing enthusiasts Experience and aesthetic enjoyment.
