A fishing reel includes a support member, a bail assembly, an input shaft, and a gear box, according to an exemplary embodiment. The bail assembly is coupled with the support member. The bail assembly is configured to retrieve or let out a fishing line. The input shaft is configured to receive an input torque. The gear box is configured to be driven by the input shaft and drive the bail assembly to retrieve the fishing line. The input shaft is configured to receive the input torque in a clockwise direction and drive the bail assembly to operate in a counter-clockwise direction to retrieve the fishing line.

Spinning reels for left or right-handed use have reduced internal friction by a selectively disengageable seal at the unused connection port.

A reel suitable for bow fishing and the like provides a cowling covering a reel with a wide opening to reduce frictional restraint on high-speed paying out of the line with the flight of the arrow. An optional guide arm may be used to minimize line diversion and hence friction during line payout while absorbing forces when the line is retracted permitting use of a lighter cowling design without loss of strength. A high torque bevel gear transmission and safety lighting is further provided.

A fishing apparatus and a method for controlling the same. The fishing apparatus includes: a fishing rod having a reel and a motor connected with the reel; a brainwave collection unit arranged to collect a brainwave signal from a user of the fishing apparatus; and a control unit arranged to receive the brainwave signal collected by the brainwave collection unit. The apparatus generates a motor control signal according to the brainwave signal and transmits the motor control signal to the motor. The motor drives the reel to rotate under the control of the motor control signal. The fishing apparatus and the method for controlling the same as provided by the present disclosure are easy to use and labor-saving.

A frame has a first side plate, a second side plate, a level winding guard, and a mounting portion. The first side plate, the second side plate, the level winding guard, and the mounting portion are formed of a single member. The first side plate has a thick portion and a through hole. The thick portion is formed in front of a spool on an inside surface of the first side plate. The through hole penetrates the thick portion in an axial direction. In addition, the through hole has an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the guide member.

A fishing system that includes a sensing unit mountable about a fishing rod for detecting fish activity about a fishing line, the sensing unit includes a rotatable portion that allows the sensing unit, when mounted between two fishing pole eyelets, to provide sensory information to a transceiver unit when a portion of a wheel passes about the sensing unit, for alerting of the loss of fishing line from the fishing pole.

A reel for fishing line or the like provides for extremely rapid payout by releasing the line to unwind by sliding rapidly around a guide surrounding the line spool and by rotation of the line spool itself. A handle extending rearwardly from the reel controls a line guide preventing sliding of the fishing line around the guide and providing controllable friction and locking of rotation of the line spool only when actuated by the user to permit retraction of the line or controlled tensioning of the line.

A fishing reel including: a main body mounted on a fishing rod; a spool for allowing a fishing line to be wound or unwound, the spool being installed on the main body so as to be rotatable; and a fishing wheel for rotating the spool, the fishing wheel being connected to a spool shaft gearshift which induces rotation of the spool. The fishing wheel is connected to the spool shaft gearshift via angle variation means, and a connection angle between the wheel and the gearshift varies using the angle variation means to reduce strain applied on a user's wrist while rotating the spool.

An uniaxial winding device is disclosed, which includes a body which is equipped with a main shaft and a fixed seat on an upper and a lower side respectively, therein, wherein a tapered block and a limiting fixed pin are installed on the main shaft, wherein on the main shaft of one side of tapered block, a winding roll and a locknut are mounted, on the other side, a rocker arm which can rotate the main shaft shall prevail, and, there is also resistance adjusting mechanism which is used for adjusting the rotational resistance of the winding roll.
