The present invention provides a reel leg fixing apparatus having a sufficient strength in the coupling between the operation nut and the movable hood while reducing the thickness and the weight of the movable hood efficiently and effectively. In the reel leg fixing apparatus according to the present invention, the movable hood and the operation nut are coupled together when a locking portion bent and provided at an end of the movable hood is engaged with a recess at an end of the operation nut. The movable hood is formed of a prepreg sheet as a fiber-reinforced resin member including reinforcement fibers impregnated with a synthetic resin, and the reinforcement fibers oriented at least in the axial direction extend continuously at least in a coupling between the movable hood and the operation nut.

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.

A bottle-style reel for bow-fishing and the like provides a retriever bottle that is tipped out of the vertical plane defined by the crank axis and the rotation of interengaging wheels that grip the fishing line and push it into the retriever bottle. In this way the retriever mechanism of the interengaging wheels can be aligned with the bow grip for reduced torque and simplified mounting.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a handle shaft, a handle, a first bearing, and a roller clutch. The handle shaft has a first end portion and a second end portion on a side opposite the first end portion, and is provided on the reel body so as to be rotatable. The handle is connected to the first end portion of the handle shaft. The first bearing rotatably supports the second end portion of the handle shaft. The roller clutch is arranged so as to overlap the first bearing in an axial direction of the handle shaft as seen from a radial direction of the handle shaft and is configured to prohibit rotation of the handle shaft in one direction.

A reel body for a spinning reel includes a foot portion configured to attach to a fishing rod, a housing having a accommodating portion, a leg portion extending from the housing toward the foot portion, and an insert element disposed in the housing and the leg portion. The foot portion, the housing, and the leg portion are integrally formed by injection molding, and the insert element includes a first portion that is disposed in the accommodating portion such that at least a part thereof is exposed, and a second portion that is integrally formed with the first portion and at least a part of which is disposed in a proximal end part of the leg portion.

The reel stringer may comprise a spool retainer, one or more eyelets, a reel holder, a housing, and a line cutter. The reel stringer may be operable to hold a new line spool and a reel such that fishing line may be wound onto a reel spool from the new line spool by turning a crank handle on the reel. The reel may removably couple to the reel holder for stringing. The spool retainer may hold the new line spool such that the new line spool may rotate as the fishing line is used. The fishing line may feed from the new line spool, through the one or more eyelets, and onto the reel. A first storage section may be used to store spools of string and other supplies. An alternative embodiment may provide a second storage area.

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.

The present invention relates to a pivotably adjustable fishing equipment mount, particularly embodied with a fishing rod holder that can be swivelled to different angles and fixed at variable positions as per the user requirement. It is attachable to the gunwale of a fishing boat, and capable of being adjusted to different angles. Further, the mount can be moved completely inside the boat while remaining attached to the boat. In one embodiment, the mount flips (or pivots) into the interior of the boat so that the boat can be covered by a boat cover tarp without obstruction.

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.
