Create a mesh spiral

Question

I have cube mesh pole going to the bottom of a icosphere at the moment,
but I also want a mesh spiral going down it too.

I don't want some single vertex line since that wont show up for rendering.

Black line shows what I want, but thicker

@cegaton alright i added a image black line is what i want but the gray is what i have rn in blender — Futuremappermydud, Jan 08 '20 at 22:18

Enable the Add Curve: Extra Objects plugin.

Then do Add->Curve->Cuve Spirals> Archemedean.

Set the height, turns and steps you need.

To make the curve visible and thicker set the bevel depth to whatever you like.
